The States of Guernsey sign a 15-year contract with IMS MAXIMS for the delivery of MAXIMS Electronic Patient Record
IMS MAXIMS is pleased to announce that we have signed a 15-year contract with the States of Guernsey’s Health & Social Care Committee (HSC) to provide an Electronic Patient Record System (EPR) for Acute Hospital Services and Mental Health as part of their ‘My eHealth Record’ transformation plans.
The multi-million-pound investment was approved by Guernsey’s government in 2020. It is both a necessity to replace and update key software in use across HSC but also represents a significant step forward in terms of the way digital health records can be managed and utilised.
The HSC-wide implementation of the new Electronic Patient Record is a key element of the States of Guernsey transformation programme for HSC. This will future proof the Bailiwick’s healthcare model to cope with a changing demographic and continued fiscal pressures. In summary, it aims to keep everyone healthier longer, while also providing access to the right care at the right time when islanders need it.
HSC’s current EPR is provided through a single system known as TRAKCare 2012 which has served the organisation since 2012 and will be gradually decommissioned through the changes being introduced through the My eHealth Record programme. Because of the time periods involved in the delivery of this programme, the implementation process will be phased, with elements of the new system going live in 2022-2023 and additional modules coming onboard in subsequent phases. The full system will be installed and in full use across HSC by mid-2024.
We’re looking forward to starting the programme of work with our new partners within HSC. The programme will see the introduction of the new solution in phases over the next two years.
COMMENTS
“The My eHealth record programme is laying the foundations of a paperless system joining together HSC, MSG, and other health and care providers, across the Bailiwick. Delivering this change to our core software is a major undertaking and will require the support of all our stakeholders and will take two to three years of work by our teams to complete. I would like to thank all of our staff and partners for their work so far and for their support to deliver the implementation of the My eHealth record programme going forward.”
“The signing of the contract for the delivery of MAXIMS EPR is the start of a 15-year partnership between the States of Guernsey and IMS MAXIMS to support the transformation of healthcare across the Bailiwick. The solution once implemented will support integrated and improved patient health and social care for the people served by the HSC.”
