  1. 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.

  2. 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)

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  8. 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.

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. 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

  15. New Pharmacy Students and Pharmacists are being encouraged to use the National standard for labelling dispensed medicines from July 2021 (located: https://www.safetyandquality.gov.au/publications-and-resources/resource-library/national-standard-labelling-dispensed-medicines) for clear and consistent labeling.

    With the Fred Dispense Plus SIGs, these standards are unable to be followed easily. When a number is type it is expressed as a word not as an numeral.

    The standards are recommended change to expressing Numbers as numerals and administration verbs. Examples of changed we would like implemented based on this National Standard

  16. 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…

  17. 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.

  18. Can a separate option be created which allows pharmacies to charge "allowable additional patient charge" for 60 days dispensing? This will help pharmacies to charge maximum PBS price for 60 days scripts without affecting the price for 30 days.

  19. A feature to automatically convert the dosage from mg to mL of oral antibiotics. Eg/ Dr prescribed amoxicillin 250mg/5mL, and prescribed 120mg tds.

    120mg=2.4mL (we would need to manually calculate this)

    It would be ideal if Fred could automatically convert the mg to mls in this case.
