  1. Instances where if multiple meds dispensed on same day, the sorting or the chronology of the dispensed order becomes top down, in a whole list of history that is sorted down up, causing some confusions.

  2. Additional filters for PBS warnings like in FRED Classics where you can select the irrelevant ones like Safety Net warnings and clear it, so that the important ones like correct Medicare numbers found can be actioned on.

  3. There should be an option to exclude offsite packing scripts in scan check statistics so that the scan check report shows more accurate data

  4. At present, the user can click on this multiple times resulting in multiple instances of the MVF form being started. Of course, once one of the forms appears, the button is disabled.
    Might I suggest that you disable this button after a single press.

  6. There is no way to save invoices to PDF. Would be great if we had the same printing screen that comes up when printing reports.
    Or send invoice printing to the default Windows print dialogue.
    Also when printing multiple items invoice, the button says "Generate", but it sends to the printer immediately.

  7. Directions are disabled when dispensing prescriber bag items, however some of the default sigs do not make sense. Either have no sigs and leave the directions empty, or allow editing.

  8. When selecting reports under the reports menu, (e.g. Reports>Drug Reports), closing this screen also collapses the main Reports menu. Would like closing sub-menus to take us back to the main Reports menu to make it easier to try and locate a report when you're not sure which sub-menu it may be under.

  9. Bypass "Patient Maintenance" screen (F8) once exiting a sub-menu such as the 'Extra details' or 'Patient Reports' tiles. This is particular preferred when said sub-menu is accessed from the initial dispense screen

  10. A user would like the system to prompt 'Are you sure?' after clicking the clear button in the diary note screen so that notes do not get cleared accidentally.

  11. Can you please integrate FRED NXT with Modeus DD Book, for receival of schedule 8 items. Modeus is integrated with FRED classic for this function, but not NXT.
    This allows for less keying errors and reduces time spent entering S8 drugs line by line when receiving.
    Thank you

  12. marking off owing scripts - the marking off pharmacist's initials show in history, it should be the pharmacist who supplied the medication, who's initial show.
    can you explain why you declined this request before - the link does not work to review

  13. In some cases, PBS will return rejections which cannot be cleared.
    Eg 'R 312 The prescription could not be cancelled as it could not be found'

    In Fred Classic, these can be manually deleted - however, in Dispense Plus users cannot remove these records as the script has been cancelled.

    This affects their PBS status tile - leaving it Red for the remainder of the claim instead of Yellow/Green.

    Also, Cancelled non-transmitted records cause the same issue as the record is stuck as 'cancelled - non-trans' for the remainder of the claim - affecting the PBS status tile.

  14. The old Fred Dispense allowed you to set an Audible Alert that accompanied the rejection of a PBS online claim during the dispensing process. Can you set up this option in Plus?

  17. From time to time (randomly, it would seem) pop-ups do not appear as expected when scanning in a script be that an original or a repeat. I base this on the fact that after waiting for >30 secs I press <ENTER> and I can see the pop-up briefly appear then disappear.

  18. 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.

  19. Fred Dispense Plus is missing the option to set "Apply GST to Patient Price" that is still an option in Fred Classic. This is done through the "Extra Information" tab in the patient profile. This function is essential if you are dispensing items to an organisation or corporate client who is not the end user of the product. It is incredibly inconvenient to "ALT-G" for each individual item you dispense to the organisation, especially when you are dispensing many at a time.

  20. 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
