MAXIMS Therapies can support all categories of therapies.As an alternative to presenting therapy requirements in a single solution, MAXIMS Therapies allows the healthcare organisation to construct locally specific screens, allowing users to enter and review data as an integral component of complete care delivery process. The system works in harmony with MAXIMS User Defined Assessment Toolkit of which simplicity, speed and accuracy are essential ingredients.

Libraries of screens, which are both adaptable and easy to expand upon, are provided. The screens use MAXIMS Clinical underlying core functionality, to provide features including security and patient records.

MAXIMS Therapies is currently deployed throughout Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre NHS Hospitals Foundation Trust.

The software is being used in conjunction with MAXIMS Patient Journey Management System (PJMS) and supports the requirements of the NHS 18 Week Referral to Treatment Targets.

MAXIMS Therapies can be used as a stand-alone clinical workstation to monitor inpatient and outpatient episodes, or it can be assimilated to provide healthcare providers with an integrated clinical support system, which collates all patient related information.
