  1. The following are some issues in Dispense Plus Roles which can be improved:

    a) By default, there are three roles. One of which is the Managing Pharmacist who can add new users and assign roles to users. However, because there is no restriction on the default roles - users are able to modify these as they wish.

    -this can lead to inconsistencies between roles between pharmacies in the same group
    -it can also lead to users accidentally disabling the Managing Pharmacists ability to add users/set roles (this causes the Add button and the Roles tab to be unavailable and cannot…

  2. At present a private script is priced on last cost (if not zero). I have my costing set to weighted average. This should be chosen or ... have an option to choose either.

  3. Fred Classic Dispense Address Labels can print a patient barcode on the Main Fred Dispense Label (above the patient number) allowing users to scan the label at the register to call up their scripts waiting at the till instead of typing the Patient Name in the search field. Can this be added to Fred Dispense Plus as well?

  4. When Medicare Reject a concession card it would be nice to be able to toggle it on or off rather than having to delete it from the system.

    In a lot of cases Centerlink will re-enable the patients cards and we need to ask the customer for the number again and type the whole number back into Dispense. The toggle option would streamline the process.

  5. I understand that space on the labels is tight, but having it printed on the label where the repeat has been issued to will help patients locate their future tokens.

    Thanks for the idea. Space on the label is challenging but let’s see if others vote for this one.

  6. The PBS status tile is not updated in real time on all Fred+ instances. This is most annoying when one sees that the tile is RED but on going into the claim screen there is no error.

  7. As it is possible to choose the order of generic and trade names on the label, it would be useful to have this option on the repeat authorisation too!

  11. Like in Fred Classic, may we have drug reports by molecule? Something like "Olanzapine?" in the drug search will give us a report of ALL strengths (and, so, all brands) of the molecule.

    At present we can only report on molecule and strength.

    Thanks for the idea. Also – using a star (*) at the end of a drug search using brand name will allow multiple items to be selected in the report.

  12. Feature to review the set NHS/Private pricing when cost changes are detected, or ability to always maintain a $value profit margin eg: always maintain $10 profit

  13. When viewing the embedded MedView Flow Queue during dispensing there is no indication if the scripts are paper or electronic. For example, if there was a "M" for manual entry this would alert the pharmacist/dispenser to go straight to the manual basket to collect the script.

  14. Whilst the Extemp pricing works fine for PBS items, it is lacking in simplicity for private items. There has to be an easier way to privately price 500g of "bollocks" ointment.
    All I want to do is a private ointment, 500g at $25.00. I dont care about the cost; I just want to set a price at $25.00. The hoops that I have to jump through to get close to this price (and this qty - yep, I make it a qty=1 and in the description add 500g) are unnecessary.

  15. When dispensing a drug, a graph showing the monthly drug usage on the main dispense screen would be a great addition instead of having to go into quickpad or generate a report to see the drug usage, In addition it would be good if the graph could show the total usage of the ingredient rather than the brand.

  16. When looking at Patient history in F2 in Fred dispense, can the escript be highlighted as the e is very small. Like owing and deferred scripts colours, very difficult to quickly scan for e

  17. Even the best dispensing practices can lead to the occasional rejected script hitting the tills. No one is perfect. So with this in mind, it would be nice if a rejected script did not hit the till until cleared by a pharmacist. That is to say, either

    1. It gets "fixed" or ...
    2. It gets approved to go to the till (for whatever reason).

    Either way, having rejected scripts hitting the till is quite annoying.

  19. For example, we added the epothecary.com.au as a webpage link but no way to get the Project Stop icon to display or enter the description of what that tile does. Used generic "Paperclip" icon so tile wasn't blank, but you have to click the tile to find out what it does.

    Great suggestion. We’ll put it up for review in a future release.

  20. Create a hide drug indicator, such as HID to the supplier field in Lists>Drugs

    This would be helpful to hide particular drug brands not used and so that it doesn’t appear in the selection screen when Dispensing.
