Patent number: 10395327Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described related to the assignment and management of patient-specific bins. A dispensing device at a healthcare facility includes a number of bins for storage of medical supplies, with some of the bins designated as patient-specific bins allocated to be assigned to patients for storage of their medications or certain other supplies. A central server computer system, in communication with a computer of the dispensing device, may monitor and assign current and future patient-specific use of the bins for the dispensing device. The assignment and management of patient-specific bins may be performed by devices distributed through the system.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Omnicell, Inc.Inventors: John Vahlberg, Dan Cohen, Jennifer Cartright, Richard Caldwell, Jeff Blank

Patent number: 9158892Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are described for remotely managing items that are configured to be stored in at least one dispensing device. This includes receiving user identification information at a host computer system from an electronic device that is remotely located from the dispensing device. This also includes transmitting from the host computer system to the electronic device a disposition of at least one item, wherein the at least one item is associated with a patient. Further, this includes receiving, at the host computer system from the remote electronic device, information about the item originating from the dispensing device, wherein the information includes a further disposition of the item.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2012Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: OMNICELL, INC.Inventors: Cynthia Levy, Richard Caldwell, Jennifer Cartright, Ray Vrabel, Brad Blackwell, John Vahlberg

Patent number: 9042607Abstract: Dispensing units for dispensing items, such as in a healthcare facility, are linked in a network. The dispensing units use a fingerprint to authenticate users. The fingerprints on a short list reflect recent authorization, and permit access without other identifying information. Dispensing units in the network may use different fingerprint scanning technologies, but are made compatible by enrolling fingerprints using the different technologies. Two or more reference fingerprints may be stored at a dispensing unit, permitting either a primary fingerprint or alternate fingerprint to gain access to that dispensing unit. During enrollment of a user, fingerprints for a user may be “fast tracked” for registration based upon a quality determination.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2011Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: OMNICELL, INC.Inventors: Andrew Chai, Dan Cohen, Joy Smith, Michael Thieme, Justin Metzger, Jennifer Cartright
