Personal Healthcare Records
with Google Health™ and Microsoft HealthVault

Through partnerships with Google and Microsoft, pharmacies that use the Rx.com Electronic Pharmacy Record (EPR) will be able to offer their patients the ability to create Personal Healthcare Records (PHRs) by importing their prescription history into Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault.

Google Health

Google Health is a free online service that puts patients in charge of their health information by letting them store and manage their medical records online in one safe, secure place. Patients can gather medical records from doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies and can share that information securely with family members, doctors, or caregivers. To learn more about Google Health, click here.

Currently, patients can access their prescription history from an individual pharmacy’s Web site linked to the PDX-Rx.com co-location facility. With the Google Health integration, patients can get copies of this data downloaded into Google Health user accounts. As a result, patients of these pharmacies will be able to view a more complete prescription profile that may include medical records from a variety of pharmacies and healthcare providers.

Google Health users must explicitly provide consent to any PDX pharmacy customer to import their prescription history into Google Health and/or share Google Health profile data back to the pharmacy. Google Health also allows users to share their medical data with other providers, which ultimately helps to better coordinate care.

We protect patient privacy and so does Google.

  • Google does not sell user data.
  • Google will not share any user information with any third party, unless the user tells them to do so.
  • Users can revoke the link with your pharmacy at any time.
  • There is no advertising in Google Health.

MS HealthVault

HealthVault helps people collect and store health information from many sources in one location, so that it is always organized and available to them online. HealthVault is working with doctors, hospitals, employers, pharmacies, insurance providers and manufacturers of health devices--blood pressure monitors, heart rate monitors, and more--to make it easy for people to add information electronically to their HealthVault records. Users can then share information electronically with family members and providers as they choose. To learn more about HealthVault, click here.

Currently, patients can access their prescription history from individual pharmacies’ Web sites linked to the PDX-Rx.com co-location facility. With the HealthVault integration, patients of pharmacies that aggregate their data in the Rx.com EPR will be able to go to the Rx.com Web site, Rx.com, to get copies of all their pharmacy data downloaded into their HealthVault user account. This allows PDX customers the ability to integrate their prescription data with HealthVault via a link with the Rx.com EPR. As a result, patients will be able to view a more complete prescription profile that will include clinical pharmacy records from a variety of pharmacies and healthcare providers.

HealthVault users must explicitly provide consent to any PDX pharmacy client to import their prescription history into HealthVault and/or share HealthVault profile data back to the pharmacy. HealthVault also allows users to share their medical data with other providers, which ultimately helps to better coordinate care.

Patient privacy is important to us.

  • Patients control the Microsoft HealthVault record they create.
  • Patients decide what goes into their HealthVault record.
  • Patients decide who can see, use, and share their information.
  • Microsoft won’t use patients’ information in HealthVault to personalize ads or services without explicit permission.
