Why Join CVS Health and Omnicare?
At CVS Health, our purpose is simple yet powerful: Bringing our heart to every moment of your health. This guiding principle fuels everything we do—from the pharmacies on our streets to the innovative, technology‑driven services we deliver in long‑term care (LTC) settings. As a wholly‑owned subsidiary of CVS Health, Omnicare specializes in comprehensive pharmacy solutions for senior‑care facilities, skilled‑nursing homes, and other healthcare environments where medication management is critical to resident wellbeing.
Our “Heart at Work” culture empowers every colleague to shape a more personal, convenient, and affordable health experience. We champion collaboration, continuous learning, and a deep commitment to the communities we serve. As a Consultant Pharmacist, you will become an integral part of this mission, directly influencing the quality of life for residents across Texas while advancing your own professional growth.
Position Overview – Consultant Pharmacist (Long‑Term Care, Part‑Time)
We are seeking a dynamic, patient‑focused pharmacist to partner with long‑term care facilities throughout Southern Texas. While the role is primarily part‑time, you will split your time between on‑site visits to facilities and remote, technology‑enabled activities such as documentation, data analysis, and virtual consultations. This hybrid model allows you to leverage cutting‑edge software (including OSC2OR and MDS 3.0) while maintaining the personal touch that makes a difference in each resident’s care plan.
Key Highlights
- Flexible Monday‑to‑Friday schedule aligned with facility needs.
- Competitive hourly rate ranging from $41.85 to $90.13, commensurate with experience.
- Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match, employee stock purchase plan, and generous PTO.
- Opportunities for professional development, certifications, and leadership pathways within CVS Health.

As an Omnicare Consultant Pharmacist, you will act as the clinical bridge between pharmaceutical expertise and the multidisciplinary team that cares for each resident. Your day‑to‑day duties will include, but are not limited to:
- Regulatory Compliance & Quality Assurance
- Ensure each facility adheres to federal (e.g., CMS) and state regulations governing medication management, labeling, and storage.
- Conduct routine clinical reviews and documentation to satisfy both regulatory and contract requirements.
- Identify early warning signs of potential compliance gaps and proactively recommend corrective actions.
- Medication Regimen Reviews (MRR)

- Utilize OSC2OR software on‑site to generate reports, propose therapeutic interchanges, and integrate Omnicare clinical program recommendations.
- Document findings in clear, actionable written reports for nursing staff, medical directors, and administrators.
- Data‑Driven Resident Targeting
- Leverage the Minimum Data Set (MDS 3.0) health assessment tool to pinpoint residents who may benefit from focused interventions such as deprescribing, pain management, or geriatric syndrome optimization.
- Develop and track resident‑specific action plans, measuring outcomes against predefined quality metrics.
- Program Adoption & Growth
- Drive adoption of Omnicare’s suite of programs—including antimicrobial stewardship, diabetes management, and pain management—by educating facility leadership and staff.
- Collaborate with Account Management, Sales, and Operations teams to meet site‑level goals, expand service footprints, and nurture long‑term client relationships.
- Executive Reviews & Stakeholder Engagement
- Prepare and present monthly “Quality Improvement: Consultant Pharmacist Summary Reports” that summarize clinical findings, program uptake, and measurable outcomes.
- Facilitate executive review meetings, delivering concise insights to Directors of Nursing, Medical Directors, and Facility Administrators.
- Education & Training
- Lead on‑site training sessions for nursing staff, pharmacy technicians, and other interdisciplinary team members on new protocols, medication safety initiatives, and regulatory updates.
- Serve as a mentor and resource for junior pharmacists or pharmacy interns within the Omnicare network.
