Leading provider of community pharmacy and healthcare software solutions, Z Software, and Medi-Map, a medication management company, have merged.

The merged group will operate under the same brand names and will continue to deliver medication management systems to general practice and pharmacy dispensing.

The merger will enable both companies to build on their strengths and improve medication management services, an area of growing importance as healthcare providers seek to reduce medication errors and improve patient outcomes.

Greg Garratt, CEO of Medi-Map, said, "Medication management is critical to providing high-quality patient care.

“We’re confident that this partnership will create new opportunities for us to continue to innovate, expand our reach and provide our customers with a more comprehensive set of solutions that will help them improve medication management and patient outcomes.”
