Southcentral Foundation Introduces Pharmacy Lockers and App to Streamline Prescription Pickup

By Communications Specialist Jesse Holt

The new pharmacy lockers are located in the 1 West arctic entry of the Anchorage Native Primary Care Center.

Southcentral Foundation Pharmacy has enhanced services for customer-owners by introducing convenient medication dispensing lockers and the MyMobileRx app. These new services will streamline the way prescriptions are dispensed and make pickups more efficient and accessible.

Instead of in-person pickup, customer-owners now have the option to retrieve their medications from secure lockers. These lockers, located in the 1 West arctic entry of the Anchorage Native Primary Care Center, offer extended hours, accommodate busy schedules, and provide flexibility in accessing essential medications. Customer-owners picking up established prescriptions will receive a unique access code via text message or email. They can then visit the pharmacy lockers at their convenience.

The integration of these lockers with Cerner, the electronic health record system, ensures seamless coordination between pharmacy employees and a safe and accurate dispensing process.

Cerner allows real-time tracking of inventory, minimizing the risk of errors and ensuring customer-owners receive the right medications every time. The lockers strictly adhere to state regulations, ensuring no controlled substances are stored within the lockers.

In addition, customer-owners can now request refills via the My MobileRx app, available on the Google Play and App Store. By scanning the QR code located on their prescription bottles, the app will allow users to fill prescriptions online and track prescription fill dates and number of refills remaining. With these improvements, curbside pickup has been discontinued at ANPCC Pharmacy.
