Hello Dr. Bateh and board members,

Which are the most important financial data items you will present?

I aim to present the potential growth opportunities we can have in the coming years if we invest in digital health, primary care services, and new payer solutions. By diversifying our growth portfolios by adding new health services and expanding our preventive care and home health capabilities, we can deliver high-valued, patient-centric services while capturing a meaningfully more significant portion of the healthcare spend (1).

With our unique combination of assets, such as CVS Pharmacy, CVS Caremark, Aetna, Omnicare, MinuteClinics, and HealthHUBs, I want to add new health plan members and encourage them to use our valuable primary care and home health services. This strategic approach will allow us to lower costs, increase customers' access to quality care, launch post-acute transitions pilot in selected geographies, and improve health outcomes for consumers, patients, and members - while delivering superior results for shareholders (2).

Ultimately, our strategic financial approach will allow foundational business growth, establish new sources of incremental value, and strategic capital deployment to achieve our long-term growth targets and improve shareholder returns (2).

What is your overall proposed strategic plan going to cost to implement?

With a vision of advancing health services and primary care capabilities, we have strategically invested in portfolio expansion, mergers, and acquisitions and created new opportunities in high-growth markets. Investment in digital health and payer solutions will be an innovative opportunity to expand our horizons. Progressive growth will cover the implementation costs as we already have assembled the most comprehensive suite of assets in the industry (3).

How much profit or savings will your plan produce for your healthcare organization?

Our strategic financial approach and fully integrated system will benefit customers and stakeholders. The plan will create business opportunities in the growing adjacent consumer product market and offer cost-saving from waste. It will also bring agility in processes and quality outcomes, ensure long-term growth and sustainability, improve access to care, and, most importantly, enhance customer satisfaction (3).

What non-financial benefits will your plan generate in the organization and/or the wider community?

The new integrated model will improve access to quality care, bring better outcomes, lower overall healthcare costs, and take us closer to our mission of offering the best care possible for our valued customers (4).

CVS Caremark - plans like trend management and clinical services will minimize costs and improve patient health outcomes. Mail-in pharmacies offer members a convenient drug delivery at their desired location.

CVS Pharmacy - improve medication adherence, close gaps in care, and recommend the most cost-effective therapies.

CVS Specialty - offers affordable alternative care to individuals with complex, chronic conditions who need specialized care and expensive drug therapies.

CVS MinuteClinic - a unique, affordable, and convenient healthcare clinic to diagnose and treat minor health conditions, perform preventive health screenings, and monitor patients with chronic health conditions.

Omnicare Long-Term Care Pharmacy - focuses on senior health care and addresses the needs of an aging population.

Innovative Digital Tools - mobile apps and other digital solutions provide a convenient and easily accessible platform for patients in need and improve patient engagement and health outcomes with more significant savings.

What are the key potential financial risks of your plan that must be managed?

The financial risks will be minimal compared to the potential benefits. Our organization has successfully transitioned from a massive retail pharmacy to a full-service healthcare company and continued generating steady growth year after year. Our comprehensive brand portfolio has already set us in a solid competitive position. Furthermore, our innovative, diversified business model will provide competitive advantages with an integrated network of value-based services, economies of scale, and consumer product business and win over small, less integrated competitors (5).

The only risk to be considered is uncertainty about the future of the US Healthcare System and the degree of government intervention in our existence as a private healthcare company (5).
