  1. For drugs like Vabysmo PFS vs Vial, they are hard to differentiate in FRED Office. The strength is the same and there is nothing else in the listing that allows you to differentiate between the two when generating reports from FRED Office.

  3. With eRx fee introduction for eRx barcode scanned scripts can a feature be implemented where we can pass on these costs to the patient's script pricing? i.e. private price for eRx be $0.17 more expensive but not affect private scripts that are manually dispensed

  4. When viewing reports in FRED Office, the "Responsible pharmacist" data should be transferred to "Pharmacist" in FRED Office Dispense reporting as it is currently reflecting who dispensed the item - not the pharmacist who checked/is responsible for the dispensing.
    This is important for regulations in pharmacy as a dispensary technician cannot be recorded as a pharmacist.

  6. Fred Office Plus has a mobility device that improves the workflow, a Fred Dispense mobile could be very handy. a portable device that allows a pharmacist to check scripts when not standing at the dispensing computer to help busy pharmacists who forward dispense and vaccinate

  8. Some hospitals provide a date of birth when requesting patient histories, having the ability to both see and search for the Date Of Birth (like we can for address) would greatly reduce selecting the incorrect patients or having to open multiple patients when search for patients with same/similar names

  9. I'd like to add Script Scanned to the filter in List of Scripts report to help identify scripts that have been scanned/not scanned.
    Currently can only quickly see what scripts have been scanned/not scanned from the wait screen.

  11. When printing a Tax Invoice for multiple items in Fred Dispense Plus, PBS and private items are grouped together. The user would prefer the items to be listed chronologically, similar to how they appear on the Receipt (Tax Invoice), regardless of the script type.

  13. A feature to automatically convert the dosage from mg to mL of oral antibiotics. Eg/ Dr prescribed amoxicillin 250mg/5mL, and prescribed 120mg tds.

    120mg=2.4mL (we would need to manually calculate this)

    It would be ideal if Fred could automatically convert the mg to mls in this case.

  14. It would be great if the digital basket's could be scanned at the till to pay for the prescription items and that would automatically reset the basket. I believe you can scan an address label into Fred POS and that brings up the scripts for that patient on script link. Could the digital baskets have the same ability to do that?

  17. In cases where a Safety Net card is issued in error, removing the SN number from a profile should automatically update all other profiles linked through family maintenance. In Fred Classic, this process was automated, ensuring all linked family members were updated simultaneously. However, in Fred Dispense Plus, users must manually remove the SN number from each linked profile individually.

  18. New Pharmacy Students and Pharmacists are being encouraged to use the National standard for labelling dispensed medicines from July 2021 (located: https://www.safetyandquality.gov.au/publications-and-resources/resource-library/national-standard-labelling-dispensed-medicines) for clear and consistent labeling.

    With the Fred Dispense Plus SIGs, these standards are unable to be followed easily. When a number is type it is expressed as a word not as an numeral.

    The standards are recommended change to expressing Numbers as numerals and administration verbs. Examples of changed we would like implemented based on this National Standard

    Eye Drops:
    Put 1 drop into each eye in the morning. Throw away the bottle 4 weeks after…

  19. Is it possible to allow halves in the quantity section. We dispense methadone liquid and are unable to enter exact doses prescribed such as 11.5mL, we also do Diazepam reductions and it would be good to be able to have the label print the quantity being packed e.g 1.5 tablets.

  20. The new script reminder displays the Item Description as dispensed.

    As Prescribing is now by drug name it would be more efficient for prescribers to have the report display as Drug Name then Brand Dispense below regardless of how it has been dispensed.
