In an effort to get medications into the hands of patients immediately following doctors’ appointments, Amazon Pharmacy on Oct. 8 announced the rollout of a pilot program to put pharmaceutical-dispensing kiosks at select One Medical offices in Los Angeles.

The in-office kiosks allow patients to immediately fill prescriptions and avoid making an additional trip to a pharmacy, the online retailer said. Eliminating that step provides patients with an instant transition between their medical visits and access to medications, Amazon Pharmacy stated.
