Patent number: 10839952Abstract: A medication dispensing cabinet provides controlled access to medications and supplies stored in it. The cabinet may include at least one lockable storage compartment, and a controller that controls access to the at least one lockable storage compartment. The cabinet may include multiple printers integrated into the cabinet. The cabinet may include a camera operably coupled to the controller. The cabinet may include a set of cabinet electronics, and a power distribution and communications circuit board. The cabinet may include a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader, wherein the controller conditions access to the at least one lockable storage compartment on receipt of information from the RFID reader. Data may be stored in the controller according to an implementation of RAID technology. The controller may include multiple electronic communications network interfaces, and may include an out of band network communication channel. A dispensing cabinet may facilitate printing of labels for medications.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Omnicell, Inc.Inventors: Jennifer Cartright, Kyung-Hee Kang, Jeff Blank, Gary Scott Gregg, Jr., Andrew Chai, Gerardo Moreno, Stanley Kim
