  • Lyft (Private:LYFT) adds Allscripts (NASDAQ:MDRX) to its list of platform partners for health care transportation.
  • Lyft will provide Allscripts with API access to integrate the ride-hailing system into the Allscripts open health platform and electronic health records services.
  • The electronic health records integration will help automatically detect any special transportation needs in a patient’s medical file.
  • Other partners include Blue Cross Blue Shield and Ascension.
  • Lack of medical transportation to non-emergency visits keeps millions of Americans out of the doctor’s office. Lyft wants to halve that number by 2020.
  • Last week, Uber (Private:UBER) launched the Uber Health tool for rides to appointments. Both Uber and Lyft have relationships with Circulation, a digital platform provider for health care transportation.
  • Allscripts shares are down 0.2% to $14.14.
