  1. 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.

  2. Please let us make a sig as long as we want. There is no need for limiting SIG length to 125 characters...

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  6. When switching users to dispense a script, the default field to complete is initials, would be faster if the default field is password

  7. There are just over 40 drugs that are on the Prescriber Bag list (https://www.pbs.gov.au/browse/doctorsbag)

    Change the workflow so that you do not need to search for each drug. When a drs bag script is presented click the seach button in FD+ and display the dull Prescribers Bag list of items.
    Select the prescribed/ordered drugs by 'ticking' each item. Then have the ability to dispense in bulk.
    All these drugs will have the same date, same prescriber, no directions and are $0.00 this will help streaming the processes for these scripts.

  8. 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'.

  9. 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…

  10. 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.

  11. I would like the sig SE to be automatically added to S8 prescriptions. As we move away from a paper system patients are less likely to see the date a script is written - and more likely to have a script expire. We've had the situation happen with medicinal cannabis patients whom pay a lot more to see the doctor, so a lot more angst if a script expires without a prior notification from us.

  12. 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?

  14. New column in wait screen showing the dispenser's initials for each script. It is helpful to quickly track down who dispensed each script. Can there be some more customisation with the column chooser so each user can choose what columns are displayed on the wait screen (e.g. earlier suggestion for Paid status of each script etc)

  15. In old Fred and other software, we can easily switch which patient has been dispensed against (for when erroneous patient selection needs fixing). Would love to be able to use this feature with new Fred. [I am aware of the Hx Merge function but this is clunky and has a greater risk of more errors]

  16. Have an optional cheerful ring tone go off after a script has had the final check. After checking 50, have a bunch of balloons (or tablets) be released with a special tone. After 100 have been checked, fireworks!

  20. Would like the eRx/ doctor's directions grey box to remain visible after initiating typing. DD is a too literal/knocks out default Take/Swallow Whole instructions.
