Summary
Amazon Pharmacy has introduced in-office kiosks at One Medical locations to tackle the problem of unfilled prescriptions and enhance medication adherence. By allowing patients to collect their medications immediately after doctor visits, the kiosks aim to address the alarming statistic that nearly one-third of prescriptions in the U.S. go unfilled. This initiative not only streamlines the medication retrieval process, particularly in pharmacy deserts, but also has the potential to improve health outcomes and reduce unnecessary healthcare costs by ensuring timely access to prescribed treatments. The rollout of this service in greater Los Angeles starting December 2025 reflects a significant shift towards integrating pharmacy services into patient care environments.
