The generated report provides you with: • Brand name with the active ingredients • Quantity supplied at the last dispensing • Displays the first and last time this drug has been dispensed

Active Script List Active Script List (ASL), is the next step in your ePrescriptions journey An ASL is a consolidated list of all the patient’s available digital prescriptions. It provides your patients with greater flexibility in accessing their medication. Patients can still continue to use the token model to provide you access to their eScripts or they can register for an ASL. Patients will have control of who can access their ASL and for how long that party has access to it – it can be either temporary or ongoing. Once your pharmacy has access to a patient’s ASL, you will be able to view the list and select which items they want dispensed. From there, the scripts can be seamlessly pushed into Minfos Dispense or queued in eQueue for later.

Automatically apply a card surcharge Easily pass the cost of your customer’s card surcharges back to your customers Rather than manually processing credit and debit surcharges onto your customer’s cards, you will be able to automatically pass on any costs incurred from a card provider to the customer. This will allow you to accept more payment types, e.g. AMEX, without incurring the cost.

According to the ACCC “If a business chooses to impose a surcharge on its customers for making a payment using a credit, debit or prepaid card, the level of the surcharge must not be excessive. The ACCC will investigate complaints of excessive payment surcharging and take enforcement action where necessary.”
