Ramsay Health Care UK, a private healthcare provider, has now gone live with the MAXIMS Electronic Patient Record (EPR).
The two companies have announced the roll-out of the EPR, which is now fully live and operational in all 35 of the Ramsay hospital sites.
Ramsay says the move makes it the ‘first independent healthcare provider in the UK’ to implement a single patient management system, of this scale, across all of its hospitals.
There are over 11,000 users, who will use the system to manage patient pathways – from patient admissions and discharge, referral management and triage, scheduling and appointment correspondence, and order communications, to treatment pathways, real-time bed management and theatre management.
This latest roll-out is part of Ramsay’s digital health strategy, which aims to ‘build an integrated healthcare system’ to deliver ‘advanced digital health services’.
It’s hoped the EPR will now provide Ramsay with ‘consistent outcome data’, which will allow for benchmarking and ‘continuous improvement to services’.
Paul Matthews, Senior Mobilisation Manager at IMS MAXIMS, said: “The success of this project was based on how closely the Ramsay and IMS MAXIMS teams worked together. The dedication, professionalism and quality of work delivered by both teams was impressive. Ramsay is a great organisation to work with, with an exceptional team.”
Nick Costa, Chief Executive Officer at Ramsay Health Care UK, added: “The introduction of MAXIMS EPR into the organisation has transformed the way in which operate and provide our services. Bringing all parts of the patient record into one place and providing a consistent approach to how we carry out processes means we are able to ensure we are constantly providing the highest quality of care to our patients.”
