Longs Drugs Partners With Google on the Launch of Google Health

As time moves on, I would almost guess that the retail pharmacies and labs will not limit themselves to Google, and would also be adding the HealthVault and maybe a couple others to the selection process as well. Consumers will be divided on choices, thus it will behoove the vendors to allow for both on line records to participate. BD

WALNUT CREEK, Calif., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Longs Drug Stores Corporation announced today a new collaboration with Google health to provide a platform for sharing of information between patients and providers. Working with Google, Longs will be one of the first pharmacies to provide their customers with the ability to import their prescription information into Google health allowing the consumer to share that information with providers and doctors of their choosing to better coordinate their care.
