Georgia Air Force base introduces prescription refill kiosk

Robins Air Force Base in Georgia has become the most recent Air Force base to introduce a ScriptCenter prescription refill kiosk, according to a press release.

«Each patient will have a specific user name that they create and once the information is entered, a locker will open up with the prescriptions requested,» Sergeant Tyler Burkes, noncommissioned officer in charge of pharmacy operations, said in the press release.

Burke said the kiosk inside the base exchange will provide another location for active duty service members, spouses and retirees to pick up medications and, in turn, will reduce the number of people coming to the pharmacy, which will aid in faster service at the clinic.

«The machine is only for refills,» said Burke. «All new medications will be handled at the main pharmacy clinic.»
