  1. 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.

    Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll consider this for a future release

  5. In Classic, in the Patient History, some scripts are flagged with the letter 'r' to identify scripts that were previously owing but have been reconciled.
    Although these details are now in the Script Audit, having a quick visual indicator from F2/Patient History is helpful when assessing patient compliance and and correspondence with prescribers.

  6. When clicking on the continued dispense option, dispense screen should stay in the patient you were in and not clear the screen so you have to enter patient details again

  7. Currently, in Fred Dispense Plus, the allowable additional patient charge is set globally under the Administration > pricing options.

    As the 60-day medicine dispensing policy is about to be introduced, users would like a new setting that allows the allowable additional patient charge to be applied based on the type of prescription. For instance, if the prescription is a 30-day supply script, the system would automatically set the allowable additional patient charge to $0.00. On the other hand, if the prescription is a 60-day supply script, the system would apply the maximum allowable additional patient charge of $3.29.

  8. Patients who have been flagged as deceased should no longer be included in the PRF if they have not contributed to the SN threshold for that year.
    Alternatively, they could also be automatically unlinked in family maintenance.

  10. 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.

  11. Is it just me or is it hard for the scanners to pick up the barcode on the dispensing labels? I have tried changing the darkness, orientation of the label, different scanners etc etc etc. And the scanners have not changed with the switch to Fred Dispense Plus. Case in point is that I can easily scan labels produced on Classic.

    Any ideas?

  12. The order in which 30-day and 60-day options are displayed on the drug selection screen differs depending on the script type.

    Example: Perindopril 10mg

    When the script type is set to PBS, the list shows:

    9008D Qty 30 (30-day script)

    13555K Qty 60 (60-day script)

    When the script type is set to Non-PBS, the list shows:

    13555K Qty 30 (60-day script)

    9008D Qty 30 (30-day script)

    If a user scans a PBS script and for whatever reason, is retrieved as Non-PBS, they may manually select the top line assuming it’s the 30-day option. After changing the script type back to…

  14. Allow an override of "Responsible Pharmacist Initials" from the Finalcheck screen

  16. Colour of owing and colour when it is cancelled. its used to be a bold red when it was owing, then changed to a light red once it was cancelled off, now it makes it a light grey which is harder to see when youre going back through the history. Can it go back to being more obvious if it is an owing and if it has been cancelled

  19. Any idea when real-time messaging on all terminals will happen. By real-time I mean
    1. Claim tile changing to green when someone on another terminal fixes the issue or, indeed, to reflect the current status of the claim
    2. The eRx queue
    3. The dispense list (wait screen)

    etc

    Thanks for the suggestion - we'll consider this in our future planning.

  20. Some allergies, such as Elastoplast, are not included in the current list of allergies within Fred Plus. The user would like to have the ability to "free type"/add their own allergies.
