Jacksonville hospital introduces pharmacy kiosk system

Emergency room patients will have easier access to medications


Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville has launched a pharmacy kiosk system, which will allow patients to fill their prescriptions at the facility, according to an article on the Action New Jax website.

Patients, after they’re being treated in the emergency room, can come and fill their prescriptions with a pharmacist prior to going home.

They can take their doctor’s prescription note and load it into the machine. Then a hospital pharmacist will virtually verify and fill the medication for the patient.

The hospital will fill the kiosk with more than 150 prescript-strength medications. The medictions will be the ones most typically found in the ER, such as pain reliever or flu medications.
