  1. Selecting Animal as a title should automatically set the medicare consent to No and Always dispense as private. There should also be a field for the animal species and the owner's name.

  2. The patient history sometimes just shows ingredient name and not the brand name - would be better if it showed Brand name, maybe even in brackets, so we know what brand we have dispensed in the past so as not to cause confusion

  3. Create a hide drug indicator, such as HID to the supplier field in Lists>Drugs

    This would be helpful to hide particular drug brands not used and so that it doesn’t appear in the selection screen when Dispensing.

  4. Have a Dispense Option for the eScript Preference so that it does not default to None reducing the keystrokes when creating a patient.

  5. Links multiple patients at the Point of Sales, so you don't forget any patient scripts. And they walk out the front door without paying.

    Eg. When you bring up the patient's scripts, it also brings up theirs, their spouse, their children, and their career.

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

  6. Allow history/script notes to appear in the history list on the dispensing screen and in script check
    There is often important info in those notes and it reduces the likelihood of things getting missed because it's not seen

  8. Fred Classic Dispense Address Labels can print a patient barcode on the Main Fred Dispense Label (above the patient number) allowing users to scan the label at the register to call up their scripts waiting at the till instead of typing the Patient Name in the search field. Can this be added to Fred Dispense Plus as well?

  9. For example, the blue/green/grey colours are very faded in contrast and are hard to differentiate at times on different screens, especially on decision buttons. Unable to tell which decision box is selected.

    Some things could be clearer & in bold print – eg. last price, last directions

  11. Can we please get FRED Office and FRED dispense OTC dispensed item prices integrated? For all OTC lines that we dispense, if the price has changed in FRED Office, the price doesn't automatically change in FRED dispense. Is there a way to make this happen? Thank you

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

    Great suggestion, we'll look to implement in a future release.

  14. When users dispense OTC items in Dispense Plus, there is no option to enable small label printing for that item,

    The small label printing option is only available for items in Fred Drug Database. Users would like the same option for OTC items as well.

  15. When a red or amber RTPM alert appears - users are forced to either clear the dispense screen or click on the alert in order to make it disappear.

    If the alert is not cleared and the user accesses other screens ie Reports - the alert continues to remain on the screen and in some cases blocks buttons on these other screens.

  16. Patient History Notes: Display ABOVE patient's dispensed scripts NOT BELOW - for all items with the same date.

    Just like in original FRED. Makes it easier and less backwards.

  17. Currently the side bar reduces full visibility significantly as in classic, which had excellent viability and a color contrast that was significantly easier on the eye.
    Many may use the side bar, I do occasionally, but when not in use, I want it to hide (as is the case with many dock's/side bars).
    Also full screen visibility with improved color contrast would enhance daily use significantly.

  18. It would be handy to see where the Last Buy price is GREATER than the PBS W/C cost at the time of selecting the drug or from the Drug Details Tile
    Give the Pharmacist/Dispenser a reason to questions the validity of the data and confirm/update prices before processing the script.

  19. The ability to resubmit multiple scripts at once like FRED classic with a single button so we can do it before we close claim just in case something hasn't been processed properly whilst PBS has been down
