Virtustream, an enterprise-class
cloud company and a Dell Technologies business, announced that OmniSYS, a
Dallas-based healthcare technology company, is using Virtustream Enterprise
Cloud and xStreamCare Services to ensure its software solutions for pharmacies
across the U.S. provide high-availability and can easily and quickly scale to
meet the rising demands of managing the distribution and dispensing of the
nation's massive Covid-19 vaccination efforts.
OmniSYS Supports Half of the
Retail Pharmacies in the United States
Over the past decade, the role of
the community pharmacist has evolved from solely dispensing medications to also
providing basic clinical and preventative care services such as, immunizations,
point-of-care testing and counseling for chronic conditions like diabetes. With
more than 60,000 retail locations nationwide, pharmacies provide communities
with convenient access to affordable and quality care. OmniSYS, a leading
provider of technology solutions for retail pharmacy, supports medical claims
processing for over half the pharmacies in the nation today. This includes the
billing of immunizations and point of care testing for COVID-19. When the
pandemic hit, demand for immunizations and point-of-care testing skyrocketed
and local pharmacies stepped up to address the need; as did OmniSYS, who
quickly and easily scaled its IT capacity to support record-setting claim
volumes.
Critical to OmniSYS' business
model is the ability to quickly align and scale its processing requirements
with market changes brought about by seasonal illnesses, such as the flu, and
historic events like the COVID-19 pandemic. With the company experiencing
unprecedented demands on its software as a result of both the COVID-19 vaccine
and the increased volume of other clinical services in the pharmacy setting,
the firm looked to its trusted IT partners for expanded support.
"OmniSYS plays a critical role in
the delivery of health care. It's imperative that our systems experience zero
downtime and that they can scale with growing demand. We look to valued
partners like Virtustream to ensure that our systems are highly available and
that we can quickly scale our IT capacity to meet record-setting demands," says
John King, Chief Executive Officer, OmniSYS. "As the vaccine rollout ramps-up
in 2021, the transactional immunization claim volumes on our software is
expected to hit even higher milestones. We're relying on Virtustream as our
trusted cloud partner to ensure that we'll continue to meet the critical needs
of our pharmacy customers, and seamlessly adapt with speed and agility in
responding to the peak demands of the market."
"For a decade, Virtustream has
built its reputation on managing mission-critical workloads in the cloud," says
Todd Pavone, President & CEO, Virtustream. "In the world of healthcare, the
requirements and complexities of our customers only get tougher. And those
challenges extend not only to health systems migrating and managing Epic EHR
applications in the cloud, but also enterprises like OmniSYS who is providing
solutions for its retail pharmacy customers. We're thrilled to help a market
leader like OmniSYS provide robust, secure and agile solutions during these
incredibly trying times."
