The largest independent hospital group in Ireland, Bon Secours Health System, is partnering with IMS MAXIMS to consolidate its order communications systems and rollout MAXIMS OCS across its sites in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Tralee.
The national deployment across 5 sites will standardise and modernise the way the hospitals order and view diagnostics tests and treatment services. It will provide a set of simplified and unified digital workflows that replaces the reliance on paper and several order comms systems, to improve patient safety and productivity. Staff from any of the hospitals will be able to order and view results instantly, on or off-site, and avoid the delays and errors experienced with the current ways of working.

2,000 organisations now using Information Sharing Gateway
An innovative online system which allows organisations to agree contracts around data sharing has attracted over 2,000 public sector organisations, including the NHS, local authorities, police and schools across the country and in Europe.

Nicola Briggs, ISG Programme Manager at UHMBT, said: “We aspire to deliver the benefits derived from using the system to as many people across the UK in a bid to
support a joined up and more effective data sharing community.
