Omnicell’s EnlivenHealth™ Reports Strong Customer Demand for New SaaS Technology Solution to Help Pharmacies Meet COVID-19 Vaccination Challenges

CareScheduler Automates Vaccine Scheduling, Consent Collection, Registry Reporting and Patient Outreach; Enables Pharmacies to Efficiently Administer COVID-19 Vaccine

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Omnicell, Inc., (Nasdaq:OMCL), a leading provider of medication management solutions and adherence tools for health systems and pharmacies, today announced strong market demand for its new CareScheduler digital solution that enables pharmacies to efficiently and effectively manage administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. CareScheduler was developed by EnlivenHealth™, the Omnicell division that provides patient engagement and communications technology solutions for retail pharmacies and health plans.

CareScheduler is a software as a service (SaaS) technology solution that automates traditionally manual and paper-based processes, empowering pharmacies to keep their patients and staff healthy and safe during the pandemic while helping to drive increased script growth and improved profitability. The exclusive new tool uses advanced digital technologies, data sciences, and communications capabilities to enable hands-free scheduling, vaccine registry reporting, and patient outreach for the administration of vaccines and other point-of-care services. Integrated into EnlivenHealth’s industry-leading Patient Engagement Platform, CareScheduler automates the collection of consent and vaccine administration records without patients having to handle documents in the pharmacy.

EnlivenHealth™ is currently in advanced discussions with more than 50 major pharmacy chains that have expressed strong interest in acquiring the new CareScheduler solution. In fact, pharmacy companies representing nearly 1,000 stores nationwide have already signed up for the exclusive new CareScheduler digital tool.

“As trusted healthcare providers, community pharmacies like ours are on the frontlines of ensuring that patients receive the COVID-19 vaccine as expeditiously and safely as possible,” said Duane Jones, BS Pharm, pharmacy district manager and clinical program director at Harps Food Stores. “CareScheduler is an important digital tool that helps us to efficiently manage and streamline the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. By partnering with EnlivenHealth™ on CareScheduler and other technology innovations, Harps Foods can continue to drive practice transformation and focus on value-added services that directly impact patient health outcomes, satisfaction, and retention.”

“COVID-19 has placed significant new demands on retail pharmacies, and I am excited that our new division EnlivenHealth™ is purpose-built to help pharmacists manage major challenges like this,” said Scott Seidelmann, executive vice president and chief commercial officer of Omnicell. “Omnicell’s mission is to be the pharmacist’s most trusted partner, and we achieve that by building and providing transformative digital solutions and technology-enabled services. EnlivenHealth’s new CareScheduler solution exemplifies this strategy in action. We are very pleased that the market has responded positively to it.”

“Pharmacists are the new frontline healthcare heroes who can and must play an essential role in administering the COVID-19 vaccine and make it a success for all Americans,” said Danny Sanchez, vice president and general manager of EnlivenHealth™. “However, to achieve that critical goal, pharmacies and pharmacists must have the right technologies to empower them to handle the huge administrative and operational challenges of vaccinating up to 330 million Americans in a timely fashion. With CareScheduler, we are giving pharmacies the tools and support they need to handle the expected increase in patient demand and pharmacy store traffic once the COVID-19 vaccine becomes universally available.”

CommScope to Showcase New, Innovative SURFboard Home Network Devices During the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show

CommScope to Showcase New, Innovative SURFboard Home Network Devices During the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show

ARRIS SURFboard mAX and SURFboard mAX Express highlights CommScope’s Wi-Fi expertise and expansion of its whole-home mesh family of products

HICKORY, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
CommScope’s family of ARRIS SURFboard products will take centerstage during this year’s virtual Consumer Electronics Show with the introduction of two new members to its industry-leading gigabit whole-home mesh portfolio—the ARRIS SURFboard mAX and the ARRIS SURFboard mAX Express.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210111005078/en/

The SURFboard mAX is the latest tri-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh system and features the industry’s newest 802.11ax standard with increased data capacity to handle a customer’s whole-home network needs. (Photo: Business Wire)

“As more people continue to work and learn from home, they are making upgrades to get the best speed and Wi-Fi coverage for their homes,” said Evan Groat, Senior Vice President, Retail Products, CommScope. “The SURFboard mAX and the SURFboard mAX Express are the latest innovations from CommScope that offers consumers several new options for achieving whole-home coverage using the latest Wi-Fi technologies.”

By deploying a whole-home mesh Wi-Fi 6 system, customers will receive unparalleled connectivity, turning a home into a smart, connected home. This technology provides maximum speed, coverage and capacity so devices run at peak performance. As technology develops, more devices will connect to a home network in the future (i.e., 8K TV streams, telehealth, and AR/VR experiences) driving the need for higher bandwidth and consistent, ubiquitous coverage.

The SURFboard mAX is the latest tri-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh system and features the industry’s newest 802.11ax standard with increased data capacity to handle a customer’s whole-home network needs. The SURFboard mAX complements the flagship SURFboard mAX Pro and SURFboard mAX Plus mesh systems. Designed to reduce dead zones in the home and compatible with many internet plans, the SURFboard mAX system features an advanced tri-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh design with two routers, each delivering up to 6.6 Gbps speeds and providing a total coverage area of up to 5,500 sq. ft. Its third band, with 4×4 Wi-Fi 6, provides a dedicated backhaul to ensure the maximum service speeds across the entire home.1

The upcoming SURFboard mAX Express is a single extender unit that is bundled with the SURFboard mAX. It is a tri-band Wi-Fi 6 wall-plug unit and the bundle offers, not only the power and capacity of tri-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh system, but adds the convenience of a smaller size to provide whole-home coverage (up to 5,550 sq. ft.) as a two-unit system. Regardless of its compact wall-mounted design, it supports tri-band Wi-Fi up to 6.6 Gbps speeds, connected to the SURFboard mAX router with a dedicated 4×4 Wi-Fi 6 backhaul link.

The SURFboard mAX Express is expected to be available during the first quarter of 2021.

During this year’s virtual CES, CommScope will also showcase other market-leading SURFboard products—the SURFboard S33 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem and the SURFboard Central app.

Customers require a modem that provides them better connectivity for their computers, gaming consoles and smart TVs. With a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port plus a second 1 Gbps Ethernet port, the SURFboard S33 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem is capable of providing a total throughput of up to 3.5 Gbps powering the most advanced home networks and enabling simultaneous video conferencing, multiple 4K ultra-HD video streams and online gaming sessions with confidence. This enables customers with even the highest speed broadband subscription plans such as gigabit or multi-gigabit plan to get the most use of their plans and less buffering.

To deliver a comprehensive experience for users to stay on top of their connected life, the SURFboard Central mobile app provides easy access to a digital dashboard for their networks. By using a mobile Android or iOS device, customers can:

  • Setup the home Wi-Fi network.
  • Check and monitor all the devices connected to the home network.
  • Set parental controls.
  • Optimize your Wi-Fi and advanced network settings.
  • Set guest Wi-Fi for visitors.

The SURFboard Central app is available now for all SURFboard mAX Mesh Wi-Fi products and will be made available for all existing and future SURFboard Cable Modem and Gateway products later this year.

All SURFboard devices come with a two-year warranty and dedicate support line for customers—1-877-466-8646. With this warranty, customers are ensured the SURFboard units deployed in their home or office network are covered.
