Haven't heard much about it - not very many installations (if any) here
in Oz. I'll post your question on teh local GPCG mailing list.

According to:

Didham R, Martin I, Wood R, Harrison K. Information Technology systems
in general practice medicine in New Zealand. New Zealand Medical Journal
2004;117(1198).

the NZ GP info system market in 2004 was approximately:

MedTech 32 (60%), Intrahealth Profile (12%) and Houston GP (8.9%)

Medtech32 is quite widely used here in Oz, but stil a long, long way
behind the market leader, Medical Director.
