If there\u2019s a problem with a prescription \u2013 for example, it\u2019s out of stock \u2013 that also leads to a notification. In March, the notification services are to be extended to the outbound phone system, so patients will be able to receive them via automated phone call.<\/p>\n<p>These upgrades and more developed as a direct result from comments submitted by UCHealth patients and employees.<\/p>\n<p>UCHealth\u2019s pharmacies are all electronically integrated, so patients can receive refills at any of them. All work closely with physicians and offer consultation services beyond what most pharmacies offer. For patients ordering through UPS, the app or website can send notification when the prescription ships.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A pill-vending robot on wheels<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=2811898315504786\">A red, cylindrical robot on wheels<\/a> now helps deliver prescriptions at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/uchealth-university-of-colorado-hospital-uch\/\">UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital<\/a> in Aurora.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur campus is quite large, and we have multiple outpatient pharmacies located on the Anschutz Medical Campus,\u201d said Patricia Lanius, manager of pharmacy operations with Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Services.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28365\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28365\" style=\"width: 503px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-28365\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/12\/24082749\/tinypillington1.webp\" alt=\"A red, cylindical robot on wheels moves through a hallway to deliver medications\" width=\"503\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/12\/24082749\/tinypillington1.webp 1200w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/12\/24082749\/tinypillington1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/12\/24082749\/tinypillington1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/12\/24082749\/tinypillington1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/12\/24082749\/tinypillington1-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/12\/24082749\/tinypillington1-200x133.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28365\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pillington, a medication delivery robot,\u00a0moves through a hallway at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora.
