Lyft deal with Allscripts lets 180,000 doctors call rides for their patients

Now it's Lyft's turn to up the ante. Lyft announced Monday that it is expanding its partnerships with healthcare providers to provide the ride-hailing service to doctors and hospitals who want to arrange transportations for patients who can't get to appointments.
