  1. When the script type contains PBS, Non PBS and S3 and I want to select PBS by pressing "P" non-PBS is chosen. It would be nice for PBS to be chosen by pressing "P", non-PBS by "N" etc. In effect, the first character of the description.

    Thanks for the post. We’ll look to put this into a future release.

  2. Currently the automatic printing of receipts is controlled at the patient level via F8 Patient Maintenance -> Extra Details. This idea would be to create a setting that controls it globally for all patients in the pharmacy

  4. Please prioritise the option to print the active ingredient name before the brand name on printed repeat authorisations—for example, “rosuvastatin 20 mg (Crestor)”.

    With active ingredient prescribing now established practice, patients should see consistent medicine names across their prescriptions, dispensing labels and repeat authorisations. This would help them identify their medicines and reduce confusion when brands change, while retaining the brand information where needed.

    The original request dates back to June 2021. Could Fred provide an update and an expected implementation timeframe?

  5. Please allow for copy and paste function in the MyHR screen. Currently there isnt even right click functionality. Also allow for split screen or floating window MyHR so that I dont have to click in and out 10 times to cross check information from dispense.

  6. When editing a drug card, after saving have the pop up window stay open.

    Currently it's frustrating that the window closes after each change is saved, as sometimes you have to update multiple drugs (eg. if changing brands and updating drug rankings)

    Previously, not only would the window stay open, but there was a "NEXT" option which was super useful when doing bulk changes to different strengths of medications.

  8. When dispensing a private script that is not charged to the patient’s account, together with a Safety Net script ($0.00 Rx) that is charged to the account, the Daily Total label currently prints:

    2 items = 1 ($XX.XX)

    This can be confusing, as it does not clearly indicate what happened to the second item.

    The user would like the Daily Total label to provide a clearer breakdown, for example:

    2 items = 1 ($XX.XX), 1 ($0.00 Charged)

    This would make it clear that the second script was supplied at $0.00 and charged to the patient’s account.

  9. BD Rowa
    Option for the BD Rowa to NOT push out any packs when a broken pack quantity is dispensed. All required packs to be manually pulled out. This is alert/prompt the Pharmacist that a broken pack quantity has been dispensed.

  10. When printing the Patient list by Drug report, - we need the RPTS to show the number of repeats remaining on that script. Not the number of repeats originally prescribed.

  11. When a medicare message pops up when entering a profile, if you enter through it, you can't go back and view it. If a staff member / tech says there was a message - it is gone!! Usually is is a simple update to m/care card number, but occasionally it is something else.

  12. Would it be possible to consider adding “Last Dispensed” and “SIG/Instructions” columns to the MedViewFlow queue?

    The main benefit would be having enough information directly on the MedViewFlow screen to determine why an item has been flagged following AutoDispense, particularly when an “early” dispensing error occurs or there is a synchronisation issue.

    For example, a patient may be taking escitalopram 20 mg with directions of 2 mane daily. If the medication is dispensed after 14 days rather than 21 days, this may be appropriate based on the patient’s directions, but Fred Dispense can still generate an “early” dispensing error. If…

  15. Own Brand Drugs (OBDs) are required by some Third Party Packing software to ensure the accurate dispensing and packing of over-the-counter medications. The current process requires users to create each OBD item individually via the OBD form, followed by ongoing manual reviews to maintain accurate Cost and Retail pricing.

    Introducing an automated solution, such as an Excel import into Fred Dispense Plus or a synchronisation option that allows Fred Office Plus data to flow directly into Dispense, would significantly improve both safety and efficiency. As much of the required data already exists within Fred Office, automation would eliminate repetitive data…

  16. It would be nice to have a little image of the item being dispensed pop up. In a small window near where the stock on hand is. A lot of wholesalers now have the image of the item on the portal, which is quite useful when ordering. It also alerts us to selecting the correct strength especially with look alike products.

  17. Can FRED have the Electronic Prescription data uploaded between Fred Dispense and Fred Office? If it’s in Fred Office it’ll make life easier for data reporting purposes if we need it.

  19. For patient account in FredPlus, please add a click button to display Remark in account. Eg if there are remarks in patient's account, we have to open account in Fred Office to see the remark. Please provide a quick link in FredPlus to display those remark. Thanks

  20. We would like to be able to flag patients who are are top 200 at the time of dispensing e.g. a Patient Notes flag, or banner flag. We can do this by manual entry at the moment, and then manual updates, but it would be helpful if Fred could identify them and then we could add an attribute or patient note so it flags.
