If you are administering vaccinations in your pharmacy, then you should record the supply in Minfos Dispense. The Booking Queue process makes it easy to dispense and prepare the vaccine in line with patient’s appointment.
When an appointment for a vaccination is made in TerryWhite Chemmart's booking platform, HealthEngine, it will feed into the Minfos Booking Queue. The Booking Queue displays all appointments that require a product to be dispensed in preparation for administration.
When you update to 6.2.2 a new icon ‘BQ’ will display on your Dispense Form:
The count next to the BQ icon is the number of bookings you have in the queue for the current day that still need to be dispensed in preparation for the patient’s appointment. As you dispense items from the queue, the count will adjust accordingly.
To open the Booking Queue either click the BQ icon or press [Alt + Shift + =].
The Booking Queue window is displayed. The default sort order is based on appointment date-time.
