Medication non-adherence following a hospital discharge remains a pressing concern for healthcare systems.1 Common contributors to non-adherence include patients’ failure to fill discharge.2 Increasing accessibility to discharge medication is an important step to increase adherence to medication regimens.3
Utilization of a ScriptCenter Kiosk at the time of a patient discharge can have a positive impact on medication access and adherence.
