  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. If a customer has more than 1 e-script to scan, there should be a button in Fred Dispense Plus to click to open up a space where they (customer) can just keep scanning multiple e-scripts, one after one, for them to queue up. At the moment, this can only be achieved via medview web or pharmacist clicking at the "+" button after every time they finish scanning 1 code.

  5. Scanning an OTC product that happens to be a repat item correctly sets price to RRP. On changing the qty to >1 the pricing reverts to script pricing. This is undesirable when the patient is not repat.

  6. Users want to be able to cancel queued scripts in NXTQ in bulk.

    At the moment, users have to cancel them one by one, and it's very time-consuming.

  7. 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.

  8. When dispensing owing medication (faxed scripts) there is no option to have the number of repeats on the label as FRED classic had. This has led to customers' ending up confused about how many repeats they have left, and some doctors have rung not happy thinking we have made an error.

  9. When setting "repeats held" there should be a field where you can enter a file number for the repeats and this information should be displayed at the top of the screen where the "repeats held" line is

  11. I have been STRONGLY urged to scan items in Dispensing Process. This after action from PHARMACY board. It is inconceivable that this is not part of Current program

    Board will be VERY concerned .. FIX this before you do anything else

  14. Please place a default option within the F8 patient information screen to enable the default sending of dispensed items to MHR. The box on the dispense screen could then be used to prevent this being sent should the patient not wish that particular item to be sent.

  15. 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.

  16. Some users set the patient price based on the "total retail price" for the item. In Fred Plus, the total retail price is in the Pricing tile > PBS Price Calculation screen. The user has requested the total retail price to be displayed on the main dispense screen.

  18. In Administration > Drugs screen, when users want to update the patient price for a drug in each strength (such as Crestor 5mg, 10mg, 20mg, and 40mg), users need to re-type the drug name each time to bring up the different strength.

    There should be a "Next" button in Administration > Drugs screen so that system displays the next item without needing to re-type the drug name.

  19. Currently, a small label is printed only on the first label for multi-label products ( such as Symbicort 400mcg). The user would like the small label to print on every label for multi-label products.
