In an effort to provide greater online collaboration between physicians and patients, Chicago-based Allscripts is collaborating with Mountain View, Calif.’s Google Inc. and the National ePrescribing Patient Safety Initiative (NEPSI).
The collaboration, according to the companies, allows physicians using the NEPSI solution to securely transfer their patients’ medication information into a Google Health account upon request by the user/patient. This connectivity is designed to provide patients with accurate clinical information helping them to better coordinate care with a multitude of providers.
