Practice management software vendor Zedmed is releasing version 32 of its system featuring electronic prescription functionality this week, and also plans to release a free, standalone version of the software later in June to allow practices that don't have eScript capabilities to use it for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Zedmed and the Medical One group are also involved in two live tests being held in Melbourne today along with prescription exchange services eRx and MediSecure, a Chemist Warehouse pharmacy using the chain's in-house dispensing system as well as another pharmacy using Simple Retail's Aquarius dispensing system.
