TraceLink and Omnicell Integrate DSCSA Compliance Solution into Hospital Pharmacy Operations
TraceLink’s DSCSA capabilities are being embedded into Omnicell’s central pharmacy workflows to streamline hospital compliance, verification, and recall response.
Rhea-AI Summary
Omnicell (OMCL) and TraceLink announced an integration that embeds TraceLink's Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) compliance solution into Omnicell central pharmacy inventory management workflows.
The integration brings serialized product verification, traceability, exception resolution, and compliance reporting directly into medication receiving, aiming to reduce manual effort and eliminate separate compliance tools. Hospitals and health systems are expected to verify serialized medicines within existing workflows, improve audit‑ready reporting, and respond more quickly to recalls using accurate serialized medicine data exchanged over TraceLink's Integrate-Once Agentic Business Network, which connects more than 315,000 authenticated entities and supports hundreds of billions of supply chain transactions.

Integration brings serialized product verification and traceability directly into medication receiving workflows, intended to enable more efficient pharmacy operations without separate compliance processes.
Medication shipments received by a hospital or health system pharmacy must be verified, documented, incorporated into inventory, and made available for patient care. When verification or data discrepancies occur, pharmacy teams must also resolve compliance exceptions while maintaining accurate records for regulatory reporting. While the DSCSA established new standards for product verification and traceability, many pharmacy teams still rely on separate compliance tools and manual processes alongside their operational workflows. Managing compliance outside the pharmacy system can add complexity, consume valuable staff time, and create unnecessary interruptions during medication receiving.
Through this integration, hospitals can access TraceLink's DSCSA capabilities directly within Omnicell central pharmacy inventory management workflows. Pharmacy teams can verify serialized products, access traceability information, resolve product verification exceptions, complete compliance reporting, and document receiving activities as medications are received, intended to help reduce manual effort, eliminate disconnected processes, and streamline pharmacy operations without changing established workflows.
TraceLink's DSCSA solution is built on the Integrate-Once™ Agentic Business Network, which links more than 315,000 authenticated entities across life sciences and healthcare and supports hundreds of billions of annual supply chain transactions. By extending this trusted digital infrastructure into hospital pharmacy operations, healthcare organizations are expected to gain immediate access to accurate serialized medicine information exchanged across the broader life sciences supply chain, improve confidence in product authenticity while enabling faster product verification, more efficient compliance exception resolution, and targeted response when recalled products enter the pharmacy.
"Hospital pharmacies shouldn't have to choose between maintaining regulatory compliance and operating efficiently," said Shabbir Dahod, President and CEO of TraceLink. "By integrating TraceLink's trusted DSCSA network with Omnicell's central pharmacy inventory management workflows, we're able to embed verification and traceability directly into medication receiving so pharmacy teams spend less time managing compliance processes and more time ensuring medicines are available for patient care."
Together, TraceLink and Omnicell are working to help hospitals and health systems:
- Verify serialized medicines within existing medication receiving workflows.
- Reduce manual effort associated with DSCSA compliance and audit-ready reporting.
- Resolve product verification and compliance exceptions more efficiently.
- Improve traceability to support faster identification of affected recalled products.
- Increase operational efficiency while supporting medication safety and availability.
Sundar Tamma, Vice President of Product Management for Hospital Solutions at Omnicell, said, "Hospital pharmacies continue to face increasing operational demands with limited resources. The integration of TraceLink's solution expands the range of DSCSA integrations available to Omnicell Central Pharmacy Manager customers, providing additional options to support compliance while preserving the efficient workflows pharmacists depend on every day."
As hospital pharmacies continue to modernize medication management, the same trusted serialized medicine information should be able to support broader operational capabilities—including faster compliance exception resolution, targeted recall management, and future intelligent pharmacy workflows—without requiring separate data sources or disconnected compliance systems. This integration represents another step toward embedding trusted supply chain information directly into the systems healthcare providers use every day to deliver safe, efficient patient care.
