IMS MAXIMS joins the PRSB Standards Partnership Scheme
The Professional Record Standards Body (PRSB) established its Standards Partnership Scheme to support the adoption and implementation of standards in healthcare. The Standards Partnership scheme helps digital technology suppliers to implement standards within their software that will ensure health and care professionals can deliver the integrated care that’s needed. The pilot phase kicked off in February of this year, attracting leading health and care suppliers such as IMS MAXIMS, Cerner, Orion Health, RIVIAM, and Nourish Care among others.
There are two ways suppliers can get involved with the scheme – they can join as partners, where they have access to help and support for implementing standards, or they can join as a quality partner, where the supplier has been assessed by PRSB and has been found to be conformant to one or more of the standards.
The aim of the scheme is to have an environment where ideas are shared as well as experiences and best practice which means the old, siloed way of working that exists currently within health and care will be broken down, ensuring that we work together towards the goal of fully integrated services and interoperability.
COMMENTS
“We want to be able to show anyone with an informed eye that we are intent on delivering our mission with regard to data sharing. It’s very important to us that we do that. We believe and are committed to the idea that the best way to do that is through commonality of definition and a shared data model. We are making sure that as far as is possible all our data structures can adopt PRSB standards and can be shown to do so. And so, it is important for IMS MAXIMS to join the Quality Partner Scheme.”

“The overall goal of the Standards Partnership Scheme is to develop collaborative working and great relationships with partners, working with them on the development of standards, and offering the chance to share networks and have a voice which can be influential. We’re also providing an extensive programme of workshops and learning opportunities for our partners. Feedback from our first wave of partners has been extremely positive and encouraging. We are listening to our partners to help shape future work and activities.”
