Omnicell, Witt partner to provide inventory management

Omnicell Inc., a provider of supply management technology, and Witt Biomedical Corp., provider of cardiology image and information management systems (CIIMS), will partner to give cardiology departments and cath labs integrated productivity and data management systems.
   
Among the expected benefits to customers, the companies will integrate their technologies so that only one ADT interface, the interface through which patient admission data is managed within a cath lab, is required. This way information for patients won't have to be entered twice in both companies' systems.
   
Additionally, customers will also have the option of using Omnicell's enterprise-wide inventory system for use by cardiology departments, but also extending to hospital supply management as well.
