Case Study:
Dayton Children’s
Hospital's
Commitment
to Pharmacy
Excellence
A strategic, long-term
partnership with CPS.
CASE STUDY
www.cps.com
INTRODUCTION AND INTENDED OUTCOME
Dayton Children’s Hospital is one of eight children’s hospitals in Ohio. As a regional referral
center, they serve patients from a 20-county area, which includes Ohio and eastern
Indiana. The hospital’s more than 200 physicians include primary care pediatricians and
subspecialists in over 35 areas of pediatric medicine. Working as a team with the medical
staff are more than 3,500 employees and volunteers who share a commitment to quality
care. This, combined with Dayton Children’s affiliation with Wright State Boonshoft School
of Medicine and accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare
Organizations (JCAHO), supports their mission to provide the local patient population
access to the finest pediatric care available.
“We consider this access to care to be our edge in the world’s most competitive market
for children’s hospitals,” says Dayton Children’s Vice President & Chief Ambulatory Officer;
President, Specialty Physicians Inc., Benjamin Goodstein. “And a critical part of that is
access to quality pharmaceutical care.”
This commitment to quality pharmaceutical care was foundational to the growth of the
hospital’s relationship with CPS, which has evolved into a rewarding strategic partnership.
CPS has helped Dayton Children’s strengthen its inpatient pharmacy and build out its
outpatient services with a highly successful specialty pharmacy.
THE ORIGINAL CHALLENGE
In 2017, a JCAHO survey uncovered some compliance issues, explains Ben. “The survey
flagged concerns around policies, procedures, and workflows in a range of areas — from
340B to supply chain to the way we were handling sterile compounding.”
Dayton and CPS collaborated to help address the Joint Commission issues. A leader
in hospital pharmacy services, CPS was equipped to help their stakeholders overcome
challenges impeding pharmacy performance excellence — such as
purchasing practices, compliance, accreditation survey readiness,
sterile compounding, and more.
