  1. Please allow a function to search by phone number, this is super useful in Z Dispense, and was one of the cited reasons my old pharmacy chose to go with Z over Fred. Should be easy enough to do right

  4. To improve consistency between different pharmacies, to be able to generate a document that has a list of 'custom sigs' and their directions that can be imported into FRED DISPENSE PLUS as a whole, rather than adding each 'custom sig' one by one. Other pharmacies (not the same ownership) could also download these documents if they also want to use the same list of 'custom sigs'.

  5. 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.

  6. Check if user wants to scan a product when dispensing a 'Blank' product under DVA/Repat Authority, to ensure stock on hand is accounted for.

  7. Would like keyboard shortcuts added to finalcheck screen. E.g. press 'e' to edit from finalcheck; press 'S' to open scancheck. Have them underlined like in the wait Screen.

  8. 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…

  9. Script audit shows un/successful scan check but would like this to also show the actual barcode that was scanned (both for successful and incorrect events).
    Similarly, would also like this to show in the Scan Check statistics report (particularly to identify unsuccessfully scanned items)

  11. If Medview could recognise DD scripts as having a 6 month expiry that would allow an alert popping up when we go to scan it in to the queue as well as disappearing from MySl altogether.

  12. Allow pharmacist to scan the product barcode when selecting a product for dispensing.
    This cuts down the search time when selecting products for dispensing - given the large range of generic products now available

  13. In Fred Office we can change the colour scheme and in Fred Classic the colours are vibrant and make sense. The colour scheme of Plus is limited and low vibrancy, the icons on the side (which are irrelevant to patient safety) are brighter than the actual dispense interface.

  15. Please add a button to stop prompting for a safetynet to be issued.
    For example if the patient is an individual who is CTG registered and has a concession card there is no point issuing an SN card as price to patient doesn't change.
    It currently prompts after they reach 36 scripts EVERY time you dispense a new script until the end of the year. This is very annoying.

  16. F11/GS and G will only display the Drug PBS code selected on initial search.
    With the amount of 60 day supply medication increasing, selecting the incorrect PBS code is also becoming common for manul scripts.

    Having a Generic Drug search, eg GD from the drug field, to show all PBS codes for the generic drug, would help reduce dispensing errors as we currently have to mov back to the Drug field and edit the drug select to then find the correct PBS code.

  18. When I enter the sig (e.g. Vent), I sometimes want to edit part of the direction but the directions box only shows me the shortcut (Vent).
    When editing the script, I'd like to see the full instructions in the directions box so that I can edit parts of the full directions

  19. Alert when dispensing a specific drug to a specific patient sort of like a patient allergie. More like a drug note than a warning. As the note gives flexibility on what we can alert the dispensing pharmacist.

    Where this is relevant is if a patient is on staged supply for a specific drug. We could have an alert for this drug for this patient, so if a locum pharmacist is dispensing it would trigger them to look rather than just dispensing and supplying. This could also be utilised if a patient is getting a specific drug quite early, we could…

  20. Be able to check an escript when the label is scanned immediately after dispensing. Having to go into "final check" is an extra unnecessary step especially when you are the dispensing pharmacist. MINFOS have this ability already.
