In addition to fulfilling other pharmaceutical needs, CVS now offers consumers an alternative and secure way to fill their prescriptions, and add their medication history to their online medical records directly from CVS.com.CVS and Google Health have recently announced the expansion of its partnership by allowing CVS/pharmacy customers the ability to download their prescription and medication histories to their Google Health Account.
Since May 2008, CVS Caremark has been a Google Health partner, and consumers using CVS Caremark for pharmacy benefit management services can already store, organize, and manage their prescription history information online using Google Health. MinuteClinic, the retail-based health clinic subsidiary of CVS Caremark, can also securely import their visit summaries into their Google Health Accounts.
"We now offer all of our consumers the ability to download their prescription and medication history into their Google Health Personal Health Record, whether they are CVS/pharmacy customers, CVS Caremark plan participants or visitors to our MinuteClinic locations," said Helena Foulkes, Executive Vice President at CVS Caremark. "By enabling patients to download their prescription information directly into their personal health record, we are helping to close the gap in today's fragmented health care system and provide a full view of a patients health."
