======================================

During a Risk Assessment we discovered that Omni-Cell sends unencrypted information across the network from the server to the Omni-cell stations.  The data sent and viewable as text is User ID’s, Passwords, Patient Data, Drugs and other EPHI.  We have tried without success to have Omni-Cell address these concerns and they have failed to respond to our numerous requests. 

 

Has anyone else identified this potential security threat and found a solution that does not require Omni-Cell to assist?
