  2. Would like a way to show custom sigs associated with drugs (particularly S3 ?items)
    Suggest to display this in the Warnings tile where we don't look at all details (e.g. S/Care suggestions)

    e.g. ?dispense an S3 (ventolin)
    Warning tile to show
    Sigs: vent

  3. 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

  4. When and eRx script is scanned and is a brand it would save time and be more efficient for the generic search window to be displayed. In most cases the brand dispensed prior is not the same at the next store therefore having this window display will save time and reduce dispensing errors.

  6. Is it possible to allow halves in the quantity section. We dispense methadone liquid and are unable to enter exact doses prescribed such as 11.5mL, we also do Diazepam reductions and it would be good to be able to have the label print the quantity being packed e.g 1.5 tablets.

  7. CTRL+S feature: When create a patient's profile or save any details, CTRL + S is not working on Fred Plus. It's not easy to use the mouse all the time.

    CTRL+F4 feature: To bring up the medication's profile and remaining repeats and owings report (all in one page) but not on Fred Plus. Fred Plus has the feature of owings scripts and new scripts required and we have to print separately - waste of time and paper.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  12. Ability to set the default Address Label (Totals Label)
    We always use Totals Label at POS and this would make it faster if it was default instead of selecting each time

  13. With an increase in Medical Cannabis use across Australia it would be great if Fred could develop a tally system to help pharmacists keep track on how much each patient is getting on a monthly basis
    E.g Joe Bloggs comes in to collect his cannabis and a pop up note comes up 30g left this month

    I understand that this is a small fish but would help us pharmacists out keeping our patients safe

  14. When part of a medication is owing (e.g 1 of 2 boxes) there should be an option to see what date & time the owing boxes were scanned. This will help prevent customer's saying they've already picked up the owing medication.

  16. When reaching the SafetyNet, the Relationship field of the patient currently in use is defaulted to 'Applicant' on the PRF.

    Can this either be defaulted to the data in the 'Family Indicator' field in Patient Maintenance; or the Family Details list on the PRF sorted to have the family 'Head' default to the 'Applicant'.

    Medicare have advised me that they will reject incorrect relationships, including the use of the word 'Applicant' as opposed to 'Head, Spouse, Dependant Child or Dependant Student'.

  17. We have recently changed over to FRED and have noticed that you must have the customers full concession card number to record as a concessional price.

    With our other provider you only had to identify as C (Concessional number) and Medicare/PBS online would accept this if card was valid.
    We pre dispense all of our eye surgery hospital day cases (100+ per week) and are now having to look up Proda for this information.
    I am sure if this was available all pharmacy would find it very beneficial, saving time chasing up card numbers.
    Is this an option that could…

  18. The user wants an ability to delete script records from the "repeat remaining" (F3) screen. This could be helpful if a prescriber cancels an e-script repeat chain, causing it unavailable for dispensing. If they can remove it from the "repeat remaining" (F3) screen, it will avoid any confusion among users.

  19. At the moment there is a limit to only view 5 scripts on the right hand side of the medview basket, would like to it to be increase so there is no limit.

  20. Can we update FRED DISPENSE PLUS to print SN numbers (or concession numbers) on the top right hand-side of the label as FRED CLASSIC used to do?
