Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Under ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, goodwill is not subject to amortization. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Activity in goodwill by reporting units, which are the same as our operating segments, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 consists of the following (in thousands):



	Goodwill at December 31, 2012		Adjustments to Goodwill			Goodwill at March 31, 2013
Reporting units:
Acute Care	$	28,543	$	—		$	28,543
Non-Acute Care	82,864		(64		)	82,800
Total	$	111,407	$	(64	)	$	111,343

Goodwill acquired reflects the May 21, 2012 acquisition of MedPak by Omnicell. MedPak is the parent company of MTS, a worldwide provider of medication adherence packaging systems. The acquired goodwill was assigned to the new reporting unit called Non-Acute Care, created as a result of the MTS acquisition. During the first quarter of 2013, we reduced goodwill by $0.1 million due to the adjustment to the fair value of an acquired foreign currency forward contract previously carried in a component of stockholder's equity.

There were no indefinite-life intangibles at either March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. Finite-life intangible assets at these dates consist of the following (in thousands):



	March 31, 2013						December 31, 2012

Amortization expense totaled $1.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The amortization of acquired technology is included within product cost of sales; other acquired intangibles are usually amortized within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Estimated annual expected amortization expense of the finite-lived intangible assets at March 31, 2013 was as follows (in thousands):



2013 (remaining nine months)	3,195
2014	4,224
