How It works

We have designed the InstyMeds Medication Adherence System to fit seamlessly into standard patient workflows. The provider-patient interaction is not affected by prescriptions sent to InstyMeds.

The only difference is that patients can choose to fill their prescriptions onsite at the end of their health episodes and before leaving your facility.

Provider Treats Patient

Provider examines and treats patient

Provider counsels patient if a prescription is needed

Provider Issues Prescription

Providers use their favorite e-prescribing tool in their EMR or WebRx

Medications are selected from the commonly-prescribed list

The provider has the option to choose InstyMeds from among other pharmacy options

Patient Goes Home

Relieved patient leaves healthcare facility with medications in hand, glad to start feeling better faster!

InstyMeds is ultra convenient. WAY awesome after you've been through a hell-of-a-day and just need your prescribed meds to feel better fast and GET HOME. So glad it exists in this location. I sort of wish it was everywhere.

Happy Patient from Illinois
