Omnicell makes leadership, organizational changes
Omnicell has made several changes to its leadership structure.
The company said the changes are designed to create a more streamlined organization with a continued focus on operational excellence, driving continuous improvements in customer experience and delivering Omnicell’s long-term commitments.
“Omnicell continues to evolve in an effort to meet the ever-changing needs of the industry as we work to execute our strategy to transform the pharmacy care delivery model,” said Randall Lipps, chairman, president, CEO and founder of Omnicell. “In recent years, we have transitioned our business to increase our focus on ‘SaaS’ and tech-enabled services, including launching our Advanced Services portfolio, Cloud Platform, and Customer Success Organizations, as we seek to better meet the needs of our customers."
Lipps continued, "With these efforts complete, we think now is the right time to reorganize our structure in a way that we believe will best support our next chapter of evolution. I believe these changes will enable us to operate more nimbly, drive greater efficiencies and further strengthen our position as a leading medication management infrastructure provider as we strive to deliver value for our stockholders, our employees, our healthcare partners and their patients.”
