+Added: Industry Background and Market
+Added: We believe our solutions support the industry vision of the Autonomous Pharmacy, are strongly aligned with trends in the healthcare market, and are well positioned to address the evolving needs of healthcare institutions.
+Added: The healthcare industry continues to experience a significant degree of consolidation, with healthcare providers combining to create larger healthcare delivery organizations to achieve greater market power.
+Added: We believe this trend has increased the market’s need for integrated medication management solutions on a single platform to help improve patient and financial outcomes for both inpatient and outpatient settings.
+Added: Our portfolio of connected devices, digital workflows, analytics, and experts, combined with innovation, is designed with this objective in mind.
+Added: In addition, healthcare providers and facilities are affected by significant economic pressures.
+Added: Annual prescription drug expenditures in the United States were approximately $535 billion in 2020, according to the IQVIA National Sales Perspective database.
+Added: Based on a 2018 report by the Health Care Cost Institute, the largest growth in spending for professional services—defined as payments to physicians and other clinical care team members for services provided in physician offices and hospitals—occurred among administered drugs, which accounted for the biggest share, at 39% of the total increase in professional services spending from 2014 to 2018.
+Added: Rising costs of labor, prescription drugs, and new medical technology all contribute to increased spending.
+Added: Governmental pressures surrounding healthcare reform and compliance have led to increased scrutiny of the cost and efficiency with which healthcare providers deliver their services.
+Added: These factors, combined with continuing consolidation in the healthcare industry, have increased the need for the efficient delivery of healthcare in order to control costs, and elevated the strategic importance of medication management and pharmacy automation across the continuum of care.
+Added: Furthermore, while complexities in medication management have increased over time along with the volume of patients and medications, many manual processes are still used, resulting in inefficient tracking and delivery of medications and supplies and increased administrative burden on many clinical staff.
+Added: According to a survey conducted by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists in 2019, approximately 75% of pharmacist activities are non-clinical in nature.
+Added: In addition, many existing healthcare information systems are unable to support the modernization of healthcare delivery processes or address mandated patient safety initiatives.
+Added: These factors contribute to medical errors and unnecessary process costs across the healthcare sector including in medication management.
+Added: Legislation and industry guidelines, such as those issued by the U.S.
+Added: Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), the U.S.
+Added: Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”), The Joint Commission, the U.S.
+Added: Pharmacopeial Convention, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, and state boards of pharmacy in the areas of medication management—including storage, security, and labeling—have created an environment of increased patient safety, awareness, and regulatory control.
+Added: Against this backdrop, healthcare organizations, desiring to improve quality and avoid liability, are driven to prioritize investments in capital equipment, including pharmacy automation, which is a standard of care, to improve patient safety.
+Added: While the overall storage and security of medications in hospitals have improved, there has been an increased focus on controlled substance management in recent years, particularly in light of the opioid crisis in the United States.
+Added: According to a research report published by the
+Added: Butler Center for Research in 2015, studies in the United States have shown that 10% to 15% of healthcare professionals misuse substances during their lifetime, with significantly higher levels of opioid abuse in particular.
+Added: Joint Commission surveyors are seeking more documentation from hospitals demonstrating that their medication policies and procedures are adequate to prevent illicit use of controlled substances.
+Added: Medication non-adherence is widely recognized as a common and costly problem.
+Added: Poor adherence results in increased hospital readmissions, deteriorated treatment outcomes, and avoidable healthcare costs.
+Added: The estimated annual cost of prescription-drug related morbidity and mortality resulting from non-optimized medication therapy, including medication non-adherence, was $528 billion in 2016, according to a study published in the Annals of Pharmacotherapy in 2018.
+Added: In addition, a 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Pharmacists Association found that medication issues are responsible for 26% of hospital readmissions.
+Added: With more than 40 million Americans taking five or more maintenance medications routinely (based on statistics published by the National Center for Health Statistics in 2018), we believe pharmacists need ways to support the arduous task of maintaining patient compliance.
+Added: Medication adherence can be improved through attitudinal and behavioral changes, which pharmacists can encourage and help facilitate by providing interventional support, including adherence tools such as blister cards, reminders, prescription synchronization, and patient engagement tools.
+Added: We believe our EnlivenHealth portfolio has the potential to reduce hospitalizations and emergency department visits, improving patient health by increasing medication adherence.
+Added: Furthermore, according to the U.S.
+Added: Bureau of Labor Statistics, from February 2020 to September 2021 the healthcare industry lost 524,000 workers.
+Added: Discussions about the healthcare labor crisis tend to highlight the shortfall of nurses.
+Added: However, the shortage of pharmacy technicians, who are critical to clinical care in inpatient, outpatient and retail settings, is also acute.
+Added: A nationwide survey conducted in May 2021 by the National Community Pharmacists Association found that nearly 90% of the survey’s 278 independent pharmacy owner/manager respondents said they couldn’t find pharmacy technicians to staff their pharmacies at ideal capacity.
+Added: Healthcare workforce labor constraints have come at a time when hospitalizations continue to fluctuate dramatically.
+Added: In addition, even apart from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, patient volume is projected to rebound and exceed pre-pandemic levels.
+Added: A 2021 McKinsey & Co.
+Added: survey of the leaders of 100 large private-sector hospitals in the United States—which was conducted several months prior to the emergence of the COVID-19 Omicron variant—concluded that on average hospitals’ inpatient admissions have returned to 2019 levels, and inpatient admissions are projected to increase by 4% in 2022 relative to 2019.
+Added: Omnicell’s intelligent infrastructure—incorporating technologies such as automation, robotics, and data intelligence—is designed to automate many labor-intensive medication management tasks.
+Added: We believe this will help optimize the use of existing pharmacy staff, which is expected to free up clinicians’ time for higher-value, patient-engaging activities, such as medication therapy management, immunizations, point-of-care testing, and disease state management.
+Added: Government Regulation
+Added: Our global operations are affected by complex state, federal, and international laws and regulations.
+Added: These laws and regulations relate to healthcare, privacy and security, product compliance, import, export, trade, healthcare fraud and abuse (including anti-kickback and false claims laws), environmental standards, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, labor and employment, as well as other areas of focus.
+Added: We receive, store, and process personal information and other data from and about our customers, in addition to our employees and service providers, and our customers use our solutions to obtain and store personal information, including personal health information.
+Added: As a result, we are subject to various laws and regulations related to privacy, data protection, and information security.
+Added: In the United States, these include federal health information privacy laws (such as the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, various state and federal security breach notification laws, consumer protection laws, and state laws addressing privacy and security.
+Added: Internationally, various foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have established, or are developing, their own data privacy and security legal frameworks with which we or our customers must comply including, for example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation.
+Added: The manufacture and sale of most of our current medication and management solutions products are not regulated by the FDA or the DEA, although they are used by other persons (our customers) whose pharmacy, dispensing, and compounding activities may be subject to regulation by those agencies and by state boards of pharmacy.
+Added: However, we manufacture and develop specifications for products classified as Class I and Class II medical devices, which are subject to FDA regulation and require compliance with the FDA Quality System Regulation as well as medical device reporting, including a sterile disposable product requiring FDA 510(k) review and clearance prior to market and distribution.
+Added: Medical devices may also be subject to various other regulatory requirements, including as applicable, premarket clearance or approval, clinical trial requirements,
+Added: establishment registration and device listing, complaint handling, notification and repair, replace, refund, mandatory recalls, unique device identifier requirements, reports of removals and corrections, postmarketing surveillance, and device tracking.
+Added: Similarly, certain provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”) govern the approval, manufacture, handling, distribution, and tracking and tracing of pharmaceuticals.
+Added: The FDCA also regulates which medications may be compounded, and how certain compounded medications may be manufactured, distributed and dispensed.
+Added: Companies engaged in distributing or dispensing compounded pharmaceuticals may be required to register their facilities with the FDA or operate their businesses according to appropriate quality standards.
+Added: The law applies to all parts of the drug distribution chain, but generally exempts dispensing pharmaceuticals as long as no drugs are adulterated or misbranded and all are dispensed in accordance with and pursuant to a valid prescription or subject to certain other limitations and controls, as applicable.
+Added: Furthermore, our operations are impacted by trade regulations in many countries that govern the import of raw materials and finished products, and we are also subject to laws and regulations that seek to prevent corruption and bribery in the marketplace (including the U.S.
+Added: Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the United Kingdom Bribery Act) as well as laws and regulations pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including state and federal anti-kickback and false claims laws in the United States.
+Added: Since we manufacture and sell our products outside of the United States, certain products of a local nature and variations of product lines must also meet other local regulatory requirements.
+Added: Additional risks are inherent to conducting business outside the United States, including more robust information governance and environmental regulations in the European Union, expropriation, nationalization, and other governmental action.
+Added: Demand for many of our existing and new products is, and will continue to be, affected by the extent to which local regulatory requirements increase our risk and/or expense to do business in those countries.
+Added: Compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to our global operations is costly and requires sufficient resources to actively maintain various governance, risk, and compliance systems in several areas, including the FDCA and FDA regulations Controlled Substances Act and DEA regulations, state board of pharmacy regulations, quality, information governance and security, and environmental, health and safety, to enable Omnicell to keep abreast of the constantly evolving regulatory landscape both in the United States and abroad.
+Added: Any failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in a range of fines, penalties, and/or other sanctions.
+Added: Recent Acquisitions
