  1. It would be good to have the option to put in the number of repeats when dispensing an owing script from fax or email, just like in FRED Classic

  2. Colour of owing and colour when it is cancelled. its used to be a bold red when it was owing, then changed to a light red once it was cancelled off, now it makes it a light grey which is harder to see when youre going back through the history. Can it go back to being more obvious if it is an owing and if it has been cancelled

  5. Any idea when real-time messaging on all terminals will happen. By real-time I mean
    1. Claim tile changing to green when someone on another terminal fixes the issue or, indeed, to reflect the current status of the claim
    2. The eRx queue
    3. The dispense list (wait screen)

    etc

    Thanks for the suggestion - we'll consider this in our future planning.

  6. Is it just me or is it hard for the scanners to pick up the barcode on the dispensing labels? I have tried changing the darkness, orientation of the label, different scanners etc etc etc. And the scanners have not changed with the switch to Fred Dispense Plus. Case in point is that I can easily scan labels produced on Classic.

    Any ideas?

  7. Currently too small and would be better under and next to set price.

    The script pricing and SOH tiles would be better adjacent to the script override pricing box. Needing to look to the right to find the tile.

    When the drug is selected, have the ACTUAL COST and SOH to be highlighted in larger font in their respective tiles.

    This is used for every script so needs to be easy to see.

    Thanks for the post. We plan to improve this area in future releases.

  8. Allow an override of "Responsible Pharmacist Initials" from the Finalcheck screen
    Pharmacist checking the script is often not the same as the initial nominated pharmacist

  9. Ability to set the default Address Label (Totals Label)
    We always use Totals Label at POS and this would make it faster if it was default instead of selecting each time

  10. Ability to set instructions for a medication (e.g. Ventolin). When the medication is selected, instructions automatically load -- without need to enter SIG. Direct link to drug instead.

  11. Fred Dispense Plus does not show in the patient history if an item was dispensed with GST. Some items need to be dispensed that have GST (e.g. OTC items etc). In Fred Dispense Classic, a small + symbol appears next to the price to indicate that it is "GST-inclusive". There does not appear to be any indication of this in Fred Dispense Plus, and so you have to either go back in and "edit" the item to see if GST has been flagged, or print a patient receipt. This increases the likelihood of GST and charging errors by the pharmacy.

  12. Some allergies, such as Elastoplast, are not included in the current list of allergies within Fred Plus. The user would like to have the ability to "free type"/add their own allergies.

  13. Mixtures that require users to add water (eg Amoxil 250mg/5ml) are considered extemp for PBS pricing purposes

    Because of this, the customized PBS fees, which are only for ready-prepared items, do not apply when dispensing those mixtures

    Users want the customized PBS fees to apply for mixtures too

  17. There are just over 40 drugs that are on the Prescriber Bag list (https://www.pbs.gov.au/browse/doctorsbag)

    Change the workflow so that you do not need to search for each drug. When a drs bag script is presented click the seach button in FD+ and display the dull Prescribers Bag list of items.
    Select the prescribed/ordered drugs by 'ticking' each item. Then have the ability to dispense in bulk.
    All these drugs will have the same date, same prescriber, no directions and are $0.00 this will help streaming the processes for these scripts.

  18. Before finishing dispensing an E-Script, have it clearly shown in Patient Details where any repeat will go (i.e PRINT, SMS, MySL, etc).
    This should save time correcting after the fact.

    Seeking User Feedback  ·  Jason responded

    The preference is shown just underneath the blue patient banner. Does it need to be more prominent? 

  19. When printing labels for a script with multiple packs it would be nice to be able to specify how many tablets are in each box.
    eg. Total quantity 90 tablets (product comes as box of 20). FRED would allow you to specify 20, 20, 20, 20 and 10 quantity on each label.

  20. After filtering rejected scripts in the PBS claim screen, editing one of the rejected scripts clears that filter. Users need to set the filter again to locate the remaining rejected scripts. This becomes very repetitive especially when there are many rejected scripts that need to be reclaimed. The system should remember the filter even after editing a script.
