Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	Subsequent Events Investment in United Kingdom Distributor On September 28, 2012, we entered into an agreement with our distributor in the United Kingdom to purchase 15% of the outstanding equity in the company for approximately $0.9 million in cash. In connection with the investment, Omnicell has the right, under certain circumstances, to appoint a member to our United Kingdom distributor's board of directors as well as certain other voting rights. As a result of these and other factors, we anticipate that we will be accounting for this investment using the equity method.
