I believe that the driver this week behind OMCL is the news from late last week that there may be a new initiative coming out of Washington to reduce prescription errors in general, especially medication errors in hospitals. This plays right into OMCL's product line.
Here's the Associated Press story (via CNN), about the release of a new report from the National Academy of Science's Institute of Medicine that reports on the prevalence of prescription errors and the impact on patients of medication errors in hospitals.
Here is a link the IOM's report itself:
Report brief (4 pages):
"the committee recommends that by 2010 all prescribers and pharmacies be using e-prescriptions."
