General practices, its important to take the time to install software updates as soon as they become available. Installing regular updates reduces vulnerabilities and increases your business’s protection against loss of money, data and identity. Continuing to use old software versions can leave your practice open to attacks and cybercrime.

With new legislative changes coming into effect for Active Ingredient Prescribing (AIP) from 1 February 2021, the inclusion of active ingredients on PBS/RPBS prescriptions will be mandatory. This will require practices to update prescribing software to versions which meet these new requirements.
