Benefits of MAXIMS
Improves Patient Outcomes

Clinical notes contribute to a more comprehensive patient record, with historical patient information, physical findings, medical reasoning and patient care plans being readily accessible, assisting the quality of care given to patients

Integrated care pathways enable consistent care to be provided, effective application of best practice and monitoring of variance and impact on patient outcomes

 

Support for both local and national triage recording in ED facilitates appropriate point of care treatment leading to an improved patient experience

The mobile solution improves the speed at which clinical information can be referenced, enabling more timely access to key patient information and more informed decision making

 

Access to eObs assessments through mobile devices enables more timely intervention for deteriorating patients

Access to information through the mobile solution facilitates prioritisation of patients who need medical care urgently, in particular during the out of hours period

 

Smart forms replace paper-based assessments, enabling more efficient capture of information, ready access to previous assessments and better-informed decisions on care to be delivered

Integrated care pathways enable consistent care to be provided, effective application of best practice and monitoring of variance and impact

 

Rapid turnaround of test results, potentially enabling earlier intervention/treatment

Help for Clinicians

Comprehensive views of clinical and patient data that is embedded across the EPR record

The mobile solution improves the speed at which clinical information can be referenced enabling more timely access to key patient information and more informed decision making

 

Consultants from anywhere in the hospital view information and perform tasks related to a specific patient

Excellent support for multi-disciplinary users and information sharing between teams across the system enabling greater communication across clinical staff

 

Access to eObs assessments through mobile devices enables more timely intervention for deteriorating patients

Easy to use checklists which make processes in theatre more efficient

 

Streamlined theatre process from initial pre-op, to recovery and then handover/debrief saving clinician time

Improvements in information available through ECDS that allows care pathways to be optimised based on a more complete view of a patient’s condition

 

Enables out of hours coordinators to be mobile, freeing up time to provide clinical care on the wards as well as carrying out coordination functions

Provides a seamless clinical workflow for Clinicians who can therefore search, analyse and annotate patient notes much faster than with paper

 

Clinical noting supports the inpatient workflow processes, as all clinical notes can be shared across teams with views to enable effective handovers and efficient ward rounds

Automatic flagging of actions required for prescribing, enabling clinicians to authorise medications in a timely manner, improving efficiency and safety

 

Rapid turnaround of test results, potentially enabling earlier intervention/treatment

One solution providing key patient information, hence avoiding the use of multiple systems, saves clinician time and enables more informed decisions on patient care

 

The ability to trend and graph results supports clinical decision making

Prompts nurses with outstanding tasks for specific patients

 

Enables nurses on ward to send notifications to consultants who need to attend to a patient

We work with Clinical staff to design workflows combined with user-friendly functionality to allow easy navigation with minimal clicks

Clinical Governance / Safety

A single electronic patient record solution consolidating all patient information within one place to support decision-making whilst mitigating the risks arising from the use of multiple systems

Functionality to facilitate improved management of infection control and reduced rates of infection

 

A reduction of reliance on paper notes, forms and assessments

Reduction in transcription errors by recording information once and data validation at entry

 

More effective preparation for clinical audit

Automatic flagging of actions required for prescribing, enabling clinicians to authorise medications in a timely manner, improving efficiency and safety

 

Electronic recording of a signature when approval required medicine doses are given

A reduction in incidence of errors where potentially harmful medications are being prescribed
