The Government of Jersey start their digital journey with IMS MAXIMS to digitise their health economy


IMS MAXIMS has been selected as the preferred Electronic Patient Record (EPR) supplier to work alongside the Government of Jersey to contribute towards a more sustainable and continued improvement in clinical care for the people of Jersey, to support the Jersey Care Record and to propel the island to achieving the maximum level of digital maturity: HIMSS Level 7.

Jersey has a high standard of healthcare across the island and provides a wide range of core and specialty services across primary, acute, social, community and mental health care. The Department of Health and Community Services (HCS) is responsible for Jersey’s healthcare and set the below key objectives for 2021:

  1. Improved Islanders’ experience of Health and Community Services

  2. Improved health outcomes of Islanders

  3. Improved partnership working to deliver person-centred, sustainable and safe health and community services as detailed in the Jersey Care Model (JCM)

  4. Improved working environment for staff increasing recruitment and retention

  5. Improved resilience of Health & Community Services, particularly in relation to any Covid-19 related surge in health cases

  6. High-quality safe services with good clinical and corporate governance functions

  7. Deliver services within the financial envelop assigned to HCS

The MAXIMS EPR solution provides a safe, paperless, clinical record supported by a comprehensive patient management solution. Used widely in the NHS in the UK, the HIE in Ireland and independent hospital groups in both regions, it has a significant track record of supporting the transformation of clinical care at scale. Its PAS, Clinical Workflow, Clinical Noting, Order Communications, ePrescribing, eObs, eWhiteboards, Maternity, Theatres, Patient Portal modules provide a complete end-to-end solution for healthcare providers and will ensure that Jersey can meet all the objectives above both safely and securely and can help transform how care is delivered across the island.

COMMENTS

I am delighted that IMS MAXIMS will become part of the health infrastructure in Jersey. This new cloud based EPR system will enhance the efficiency and transparency of our health care system in Jersey. It will help to provide the ‘digital dividend’ that other commercial areas outside health have had and that health is now starting to experience. This new EPR will become one of the key enablers of the Jersey Care Model as we work toward a new digital enabled health care system in Jersey.
