STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS DRIVE

INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT

PHARMACY PERFORMANCE

A DECADES-LONG PARTNERSHIP

Holzer Health System traces its roots back more than a century to when Dr. Charles E.

Holzer Sr. opened the first private hospital in southeastern Ohio. Located in Gallipolis, that

small, seven-bed hospital has grown into the multi-facility healthcare system it is today.

This includes a medical center and care center in Gallipolis, a medical center in Jackson,

and numerous walk-in clinics, retail pharmacies, wellness centers, and post-acute care

services, among other resources, across the region.

Holzer has remained true to the philosophy set forth by their founder — “The Patient is

at the Center of All We Do.” It is this outlook that led Executive Vice President and Chief

Operating Officer for Holzer, Todd Fowler, to continue building on the foundation of their

fruitful partnership with CPS for inpatient and specialty pharmacy management services.

Over the 20+ year relationship, CPS has consistently driven value for Holzer through

initiatives supporting clinical performance, cost savings, and operational expertise.

A RELATIONSHIP THAT CONTINUES TO EVOLVE

The partnership between Holzer and CPS, one of the country's largest pharmacy and

hospital services providers, reaches back to 1998 when CPS began helping the health

system manage its inpatient pharmacy operations. As the system has grown, CPS has

continued to deliver incremental value to Holzer’s leadership and staff. Based on these

successes, when Holzer chose to streamline their three retail pharmacies in Gallipolis,

Jackson, and Athens in 2014, they turned again to CPS as a partner.

Everything CPS brings to Holzer is focused on growing the impact of their partnership

while providing ongoing positive financial and quality outcomes for the health system.

One way the company drives value on a continual basis is through its Comprehensive

Pharmacy Assessment (CPA), a proprietary tool that audits over 450 points of a

pharmacy's operational health. During the company’s most recent analysis, they found

Holzer had successfully improved compliance metrics, decreased regulatory risk, and

increased alignment with ISMP best practices. Through the CPA, CPS helps the health

system maintain visibility to the performance of its pharmacy in accordance with current
