Long pharmacy wait times and will-call lines are just a fact of life for pharmacists and their customers, right? Perhaps not anymore. A new option in the form of an ATM-like medication vending machine system may be changing the way some prescriptions are dispensed.
MedAvail’s Remote Dispensing System and MedCenter kiosk uses barcode-reading technology to safely and securely allow patients to skip the line and conveniently receive their prescription. The system adheres to regulations regarding remote dispensing, and a combination of automated, simultaneous visual checks allows pharmacists to confirm dispensing accuracy while reducing their workload. Available in kiosk, drive-thru, or walk-up configurations, the MedCenter dispensing units can fit in waiting rooms, hallways, lobbies, or outside pharmacy locations.
