OAK HARBOR, Wash. — Naval Health Clinic Oak Harbor is improving pharmacy access for  beneficiaries through the combined use of the Q-Anywhere text notification system and  ScriptCenter prescription pickup kiosk, streamlining the refill and pickup process while reducing  wait times inside the clinic.  Q-Anywhere allows patients to join the pharmacy queue remotely by texting the clinic, enabling  staff to prepare prescriptions before a patient arrives. Beneficiaries can begin the process by  texting 833-564-3544, helping reduce congestion in waiting areas, reducing wait times, and  improving overall patient flow within the clinic.  ScriptCenter provides a secure, self-service option for prescription pickup, allowing eligible  patients to retrieve medications at their convenience without waiting in line at the pharmacy  counter. Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Mitchell Swanson, who is assigned to NHCOH as a  pharmacy technician, described the ScriptCenter lockers, “It is just like the online shopping  pickup lockers,” he explained. “You order it, we put it in one of the lockers, and you come pick it  up whenever you want.”  “Within the Q-Anywhere process, ScriptCenter is a pickup option that can be selected.” He said.  “The two systems together help to expand access to care while supporting operational efficiency  and readiness.”  “The integration of these tools helps us meet patients where they are and provide timely,  convenient access to medications,” said Greta Mattews, another pharmacy technician here at  NHCOH. “Improving pharmacy access directly supports the health and readiness of our force  and the well-being of our families.”  Clinic leaders said the effort reflects an ongoing commitment to modernize patient services while  maintaining reliable, mission-focused care delivery.  “Every improvement that reduces barriers to care strengthens our ability to support sailors and  beneficiaries,” said Matthews. “Q-Anywhere and ScriptCenter help ensure our pharmacy  services remain accessible, efficient and responsive to the community we serve.”  By pairing remote check-in with secure self-service pickup, the clinic aims to make obtaining  prescriptions faster, simpler and more predictable for patients.
