Longs, Google launch health-records service
Longs Drug Stores has joined with Internet powerhouse Google Inc. to launch a new service that will enable customers to import their prescription information, share it with their doctors and streamline the dispensing of their prescriptions.
The service, called Google Health, essentially links Longs’ pharmacy customers with doctors and health-care providers of their choice through the use and management of electronic medical records.
Longs officials said Monday their customers will have complete control of the medical records they keep on their Google Health accounts free instant credit score estimator.
