HBS is part of an organization that includes more than 800 employees across 13 major locations in the US and Canada.  Our entire history has been dedicated to technology products and services encompassing nearly every pharmacy practice setting within today’s healthcare delivery systems.

Our Philosophy Values
Our unique approach to our customers is what sets HBS apart–and so do our principles. HBS recognizes that each customer is unique; we work closely with each customer throughout the relationship to deliver the best suite of services for the customer’s specific needs.  To that end, we provide experienced personnel to work collaboratively with each customer from the date of initial training through implementation planning, conversion, and on-going client support.  It is this level of service and dedication that separates HBS from our competitors, which reflects our company-wide service philosophy.

Our Management Approach
We are guided in everything we do by our philosophy–HBS is a company of enduring commitment.  We credit our commitment and endurance to a consistent approach to the character of our staff, and to the way we manage our business.  Every day, our dedicated management team faces the challenges of our business with tremendous commitment and values that guide our decision making.  HBS provides its clients useful industry intelligence, offers expert and tireless service, and maintains an honest, constructive relationship. We are guided in everything we do by our philosophy.

Our History
HBS was established in 1981, outside of Philadelphia, and during the next four years HBS installed numerous sites throughout the Philadelphia area with development insight coming from a local Pharmacy School.  During the 1990’s HBS began a successful acquisition path that consisted of purchasing numerous software vendors and converting hundreds of their customers to the HBS platform.  During that time, research and development at HBS focused on institutional pharmacy, mail order, and common profile (chain server) pharmacy systems.

In 2004, SXC Health Solutions Corp. (now our parent company) purchased HBS.  As competitors, each company had a 25 year history of providing leading pharmacy software and services to help pharmacies run their businesses more efficiently. 

Today, HBS continues to evolve as a leading pharmacy management services provider with over 1,800 clients nationwide. Recognized for innovative product offerings, expertise, and exceptional service, HBS is committed to developing cutting-edge technologies, unique functionality, and unparallel products.

Company Structure
HBS is part of a long lineage of companies providing healthcare information technology solutions and services.  HBS and its parent company, SXC Health Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: SXCI and TSE: SXC), product offerings and solutions encompass nearly every type of pharmacy practice setting within today’s healthcare delivery systems, such as independent, chain and mail service pharmacies, health plans, employers, Federal, provincial, and state and local governments, pharmacy benefit managers and other healthcare intermediaries.
