Omnicell Achieves URAC Certification, Strengthening Compliance and Scalability for Health System-Owned Specialty Pharmacies
National certification demonstrates enterprise-grade oversight of specialty pharmacy enablement programs
FORT WORTH, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
In a move that reinforces its leadership in enabling health system-owned specialty pharmacy growth, Omnicell, Inc. (Nasdaq:OMCL) (“Omnicell” or the “Company”), a leader in transforming the pharmacy and nursing care delivery model, today announced that its Specialty Pharmacy Services business has earned URAC Health Care Management Certification. This national certification recognizes that Omnicell holds itself to the highest industry standards in delivering quality clinical oversight, operational governance, and specialty pharmacy support. The certification is effective from October 1, 2025, through October 1, 2028.
URAC is the nation’s leading independent accreditor of healthcare organizations, known for its rigorous standards and focus on continuous improvement. The Health Care Management Certification evaluates an organization’s ability to deliver safe, effective, and coordinated services within a structured framework of clinical governance, risk management, and operational excellence.
“This certification reflects our deep commitment to enabling our health system customers to deliver compliant, high-performing specialty pharmacy services and 340B programs under their own brand,” said Carmine DeNardo, RPh, vice president and general manager, Specialty Pharmacy Services at Omnicell. “It validates the rigor of our clinical protocols, the strength of our infrastructure, and that we meet industry standards in delivering quality services to our customers.”
Unlike traditional outsourced models, which typically retain control over pharmacy operations, Omnicell’s URAC-certified services are designed to enable health systems to launch and scale their own specialty pharmacy and 340B programs under their own pharmacy licenses, while allowing them to maintain full brand, clinical, and financial ownership.
“The URAC certification seal shows an organization’s commitment to high quality in health care in the areas of risk management, consumer protection and empowerment, operations and infrastructure, as well as performance management and improvement. We are proud to recognize Omnicell Specialty Pharmacy Services for its achievement in these areas,” said URAC President and CEO, Shawn Griffin, MD.
Omnicell’s Specialty Pharmacy Services supports leading health systems nationwide as they seek to improve access for complex patient populations, facilitate 340B program optimization, and implement strategies to improve operational performance.
