CVS CAREMARK 18 2011 ANNUAL REPORT
Located primarily in CVS/pharmacy stores, MinuteClinic is on pace to reach 1,000 clinics by 2016. Our
1,800 nurse practitioners and physician assistants have provided care to more than 10 million patients in
the past five years alone.
MinuteClinic is expanding its focus beyond acute, everyday ailments to provide wellness services and
monitoring of chronic conditions to better meet the needs of our PBM plan members. The development
of integrated offerings through MinuteClinic and our PBM business represents an important integration
“sweet spot” for our company. We now offer PBM clients a variety of programs that can improve patient
health and lower costs.
As we position ourselves for health care reform and the future with Accountable Care Organizations,
MinuteClinic is leading the way in establishing formal affiliations with more than a dozen of the country’s
leading health systems. These affiliations include both clinical and information system collaboration.
Physicians from these health systems have become some of our MinuteClinic physician directors. We are
also working on integration of electronic medical records to facilitate bi-directional flow of information and
provide the best care at the lowest overall cost.
M I N U T E C L I N I C :
MinuteClinic®, the leader in the retail clinic space, provides
walk-in health care seven days a week without an appoint-
ment. It is replacing higher-cost sites of care for appropriate
services and also helping address the growing shortage of pri-
mary care physicians by providing convenient access to care.
