The States of Guernsey select IMS MAXIMS to provide its Acute and Mental Health Electronic Patient Record (EPR)
After an extensive procurement and evaluation process over the last 18 months, the States of Guernsey Health and Social Care has announced the preferred suppliers for its new electronic patient record system, a key component of its ‘My eHealth Record’ transformation plans, which aims to create one electronic view of each patient. IMS MAXIMS have been selected for acute and mental health services, and Serverlec for community and child health services.
COMMENTS
“We are referring to this new system as ‘My eHealth record’ as it is working towards creating one electronic view of each patient. On the one hand, it will provide a modern experience of technology that our clinicians expect to support their work, but the importance of this project goes way beyond that – ultimately the modernisation of our health and social care provision is dependent on the implementation of this new system.
“The 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.”
“I am delighted with the decision by the States of Guernsey for IMS MAXIMS to provide the core of a new integrated care record on behalf of the HSC. We look forward to working together to deliver what will be an important change project to support integrated and improved patient health and social care across the Bailiwick. We are confident that this marks the beginning of a long and beneficial partnership.”
