The importance of partnership IMS MAXIMS, a provider of electronic patient record( EPR) systems, has become a critical partner in Jersey’ s digital healthcare journey.
“ MAXIMS is a critical partner in terms of the work that we’ re doing to deliver a functioning EPR for our hospital,” Martin explains.“ I’ d say we’ re probably about 80 % of the way there with what we’ ve set out to achieve as we’ ve got some work to do around clinical noting, but I’ m really excited to roll out the MAXIMS Smart platform – it’ s going to be a game changer for us. It will allow us to rapidly build views of data that clinicians want.”
The flexibility and agility of MAXIMS is a major draw. As a smaller provider, its nimble nature allows it to quickly adapt to the Government of Jersey’ s needs, which benefits residents directly as a result. The partnership is already longstanding, having worked with the government for several years. For Martin, MAXIMS is not just a supplier but a genuine partner, with the collaborative nature of the relationship also reflecting the government’ s broader philosophy about how technology transformation should work.
“ Wider partnerships are also crucial,” Martin says.“ In Jersey, a lot of business revolves around meeting people face-to-face, establishing relationships and working together. We, for example, work closely with the voluntary sector, and are looking at how we can partner together for the benefit of Jersey. We can’ t afford to keep reinventing the wheel, so our NHS and ex-NHS colleagues are also going to be crucial to some of the plans we’ ve got in place around helping to mature our digital health ecosystem.” healthcare-digital. com 119
