Clinical and practice management software vendor Best Practice Software has released the Medicare web services-enabled version of its Saffron release, which provides direct access to the Australian Immunisation Register from the patient record as well as online claiming functionality through Medicare web services.

Best Practice users were given an extension to the transition to the new regime through Saffron SP3 beyond the deadline of March 13, although they were required to sign up to PRODA and have new PKI certificates installed prior to that deadline.
