Format telephone numbers
When entering patient and prescriber telephone numbers they should be automatically separated into shorter blocks of digits or ‘chunks’.
Telephone numbers are easier to read and confirm when their digits are chunked, rather than appearing in one large group as they are now.
Australian telephone numbers in general use have no more than 10 digits and the software should prompt you if you have missed entering a digit:
Landlines – 2 digits for the area code followed by 8 digits for the rest of the telephone number i.e., 02 XXXX XXXX .
Mobiles – 10 digits (there is no area…

e-script option displayed on dispense screen / patient details
Before finishing dispensing an E-Script, have it clearly shown in Patient Details where any repeat will go (i.e PRINT, SMS, MySL, etc).
This should save time correcting after the fact.8 votesThe preference is shown just underneath the blue patient banner. Does it need to be more prominent?

Apply GST to Patient Price (default setting) - Missing From Fred Dispense Plus
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.

Number of units per label when printing multiple labels
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 votesThanks for the feedback - would other users like to see this?

Filter is cleared after editing a script in PBS claim screen
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.

Changing quantity and repeats remaining on an Eprescription
Sometimes patients request to get a smaller quantity with an increased number of repeats compared to what Dr prescribes. (eg, Dr prescribes qty 30 with 0 repeats, but patient asks pharmacy to dispense qty 10 with 2 repeats)
Currently, in such a scenario, details on the eRx message are not updated with new quantity and repeats remaining. This causes an issue, especially when dispensing outside repeat eScripts with such change.
To prevent the issue, the system should block the repeats fields from being edited on ePrescrition.
8 votesWe'll investigate how this can be done for an ePrescription

Adding RTPM (e.g. Safescript) result column to the Wait Screen
Adding RTPM (e.g. Safescript) result column to the Wait Screen would be quite useful in reviewing the script. The current option to check the RTPM result again at the moment is through editing the script and resubmitting it.
8 votesThanks for the suggestion, we’ll consider adding when we next work on the Wait Screen

When entering a new patient, the curser doesn’t move through the Medicare card input and can be missed which results in having to return to update the patient details after saving.

PDE number on wait screen
Would it be possible to add the wholesaler PDE number to the screen that appears once the script is dispensed? Currently the label appears and the following tiles: coding sticker, warnings, safety net, CMI. It would be very beneficial for ordering products we do not keep and more importantly high cost fridge items which we cannot return. We usually dispense the item first obtain the PDE number and then use this to enter into our wholesaler portal to double check we have the correct product.
Currently we have to try and remember to obtain the PDE when dispensing the script…7 votesThank you for your feedback

Escripts to show "doctor's notes"
Request to have the Doctor's notes field appear in the eScript information box in Fred Dispense Plus. This information is available in other dispense softwares.
We had an incident where a psychostim script was missing CA authority. The prescriber was adamant that she had noted it down. We then dispensed the scripts at another pharmacy (different software) and could view the doctor had written the CA code in "doctors notes"
"Doctors notes" also shows up on medview. It would be helpful for it to appear on fred dispense plus too as we don't use medview often.
7 votesPrescriber annotations are displayed on both the annotations tile and the eScript. Can you please contact the Fred Help team so they can investigate this eScript

Adjustable notes on pharmacy receipts & invoices
We've been having issues with patients wanting to return medications for a refund.
It would be great if there is a field in dispense options to add permanent notes to pharmacy receipts& invoices from FRED (kind of like the editable ads you can print on the sides of repeat papers).A disclaimer that says "Pharmacy medications cannot be returned once collected. " would have really helped us.
