MAXIMS e-Discharge and Emergency Care e-Discharge achieve NHS Interoperability Toolkit conformance (ITK)


IMS MAXIMS is proud to announce its conformance to the NHS Interoperability Toolkit (ITK) for e-Discharge and Emergency Care e-Discharge. This significant milestone manifests IMS MAXIMS unwavering dedication to advancing the seamless integration and interoperability of healthcare systems within the NHS.

By aligning with the NHS Interoperability Toolkit standards, IMS MAXIMS reaffirms its position at the forefront of healthcare innovation, promoting a more integrated, efficient, patient-centred healthcare ecosystem. The compliance indicates that IMS MAXIMS solutions can seamlessly collaborate with other conforming systems, fostering a rich and collaborative healthcare network that benefits providers and patients.

The conformance to the toolkit enables IMS MAXIMS to facilitate swift and secure data sharing, ensuring healthcare providers have timely access to critical patient information. This integration enhances the quality of care, enabling healthcare professionals to make informed decisions based on a comprehensive view of patients' healthcare events.

IMS MAXIMS has always been at the helm of providing patient-centric care solutions. Through this conformity, IMS MAXIMS is set to augment its efforts to deliver innovative and personalised care, address every patient's unique needs and preferences, and improve overall healthcare outcomes.


The aim of the ITK is to:

  •  Facilitate the seamless integration of various IT systems within the NHS. This might involve creating standardised APIs, data models, and other tools that enable different systems to communicate with each other effectively.

  • Enable the secure and efficient sharing of patient data between different healthcare providers, allowing for better coordinated and more informed care.

  • Help reduce the costs associated with integrating different systems compared to each NHS organisation developing its custom solutions.

  • Interoperability helps offer patient-centric care by giving healthcare professionals a holistic view of a patient's history, preferences, and needs. This enables more personalised and effective care.

  • Encourage innovation in healthcare IT by providing developers with the tools and frameworks to create new solutions that can easily integrate with existing NHS systems.

  • Ensure all integrations meet the necessary compliance and security standards, protecting patient data and privacy

  • Accelerate the digital transformation of the NHS by providing the tools and resources needed to integrate new digital technologies into the healthcare system more quickly and effectively.
