ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Omnicell, Inc. today announced its new vSuite line of service programs that will proactively monitor system status and alert service personnel to potential problems before they can lead to system failure. The announcement was made at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Midyear Clinical Meeting being held this week in Orlando.
“Pharmacists, healthcare professionals and information technology managers have been asking for leading-edge service technology that is proactive, maximizes uptime and prevents failures,” explained Michael Cline, Omnicell’s vice president of service. “The new applications, powered by Questra Intelligent Device Management technology, are Internet-based, firewall-friendly, and very secure.”
-- vDirector(TM) is the foundation level for connectivity and monitoring system performance. It enables proactive remote monitoring of customer systems and tracks key performance parameters in a real-time manner. Omnicell technicians receive automatic alerts when performance indicators are outside of normal ranges. With vDirector, the Omnicell service team can now intervene, quickly diagnose, and rapidly resolve a problem before a customer is even aware of an issue.
-- vCommander(TM) provides a higher level of mission-critical support by monitoring Omnicell server platforms and interfaces. It ensures systems are operating within tolerance and detects various precursors to failure, such as hard disk and interface errors. Should a failure occur, Omnicell employs an array of remote tools and support services to optimize data recovery for customers.
-- vManager(TM) adds important software and platform lifecycle management functions, such as remote deployment and verification of Omnicell software upgrades, anti-virus updates, and operating system patches. Updated with the latest software, systems remain highly secure and performance is optimized.
“Our goal with vSuite is to keep systems and patients safe through this innovative approach to protecting mission-critical servers and vital patient data,” Cline noted.
