Ellipticare
is a Cardinal Health company and an affiliate of the Medicine Shoppe
International, Inc. (MSI) that was created specifically to focus on
acute care hospitals and their needs around outpatient and retail
pharmacies. Ellipticare is located in the MSI headquarters in St Louis
MO. The goal in developing Ellipticare was to create a company that took
advantage of the 30+ years of apothecary retail experience that MSI has
compiled with it’s 1,300 stores world wide and combine it with the
resources and capabilities of Cardinal Health. Ellipticare fully
understands that outpatient and retail pharmacy is normally not a core
competency of most hospitals or integrated health systems. It is with
this in mind that the services of Ellipticare were designed in a model
that would be flexible and would focus on providing solutions that
included implementation.
Pharmacy Assessments – Existing Pharmacies
Ellipticare will use it’s team of experts to assess the ongoing retail
or outpatient pharmacy operations and identify sales and profit
opportunities that could improve patient care, enhance services and
ultimately improve profitability. Our team of experts will examine all
aspects of the business to include the benefits of serving discharge
patients and employees. The recommendations will be provided in an
executive summary and presented to hospitals administration.
Pharmacy Assessments – New Pharmacies
Ellipticare will assess the viability of opening and successfully
operating a retail or outpatient pharmacy at the hospital’s facility.
The analysis will include assumption for revenue and expenses based upon
the specific dynamics of the location and the population it will serve.
Ellipticare’s analysis and recommendations shall be set forth in a
5-year Pro Forma, Cash Flow Statement for the proposed pharmacy and
shall be provided in a presentation to hospital senior management.
