ZoomMed has entered into an agreement with Familiprix Group, under which Familiprix will acquire PraxisLab software, a web based solution to manage prescriptions and pharmacists' patient records.

The transaction is followed by the acquisition of Praxis Health by ZoomMed in February 2011.

PraxisLab is a new application that enhances all aspects of the prescription filling process and the complete pharmacists patient file management.

PraxisLab uses protocols and up-to-date software standards, allowing compatibility with existing software, as well as new generation software.

ZoomMed CEO and president Marmet said different healthcare networks in North-America are looking for solutions to optimize collaboration and information exchanges between health professionals.

ZoomMed has developed the ZRx Prescriber, a technological innovative Web application that enables physicians to use a wireless device, such as the IPod Touch, I Phone, I Pad, Google Android, to write and rapidly deliver scripts.

The ZRx Prescriber can easily be integrated to any electronic medical record application (EMR), the company said.
