### Give patients real choice

Right after the visit, patients receive a secure link with real-time pharmacy options so the right pharmacy gets the prescription the first time.

### Reduce pharmacy callbacks to your staff

Photon handles pharmacy issues directly with patients, cutting the “Is it ready yet?” and “Can you transfer it?” calls back to staff.
