Anecdotal community discussions about software costs exist but should not be used as price benchmarks for Australian procurement decisions. - Market share and adoption trends - No reliable public market share figures were identified in the sources reviewed. Vendor products appear on government or health system conformity lists for electronic prescribing/dispensing, which indicates functional conformance but does not quantify market share.
