Abstract

Novel systems, methods, and devices for implementing prescription delivery and for providing medication reminders are provided. One system for providing a prescription medication delivery service operates by directly submitting a prescription delivery request to the prescription medication delivery service. A server may receive a requesting delivery signal related to a prescription medication via a communication network. A physician device may receive input relating to a selection of a prescription delivery option within a pharmacy dispensing system and transmit a corresponding message via the communication network. A prescription delivery service server may receive the message and coordinate delivery of the prescription medication based at least in part upon the message. An electronic device may obtain a confirmation indication when the prescription medication is delivered and transmit a confirmation of completed delivery.
