IMS MAXIMS and MedCurrent announce partnership to enhance Radiology Decision Support
IMS MAXIMS and MedCurrent are pleased to announce a strategic partnership to deliver integrated Clinical Decision Support (CDS) for radiology across UK healthcare.
MedCurrent’s iRefer CDS, which aligns with the Royal College of Radiologists iRefer guidelines, seamlessly integrates with the MAXIMS Order Communications System - providing clinicians with evidence-based imaging guidance at the point of care.
Demonstrably this integration supports more accurate diagnostics, reduces unnecessary imaging, and enhances patient outcomes.
Embedding CDS tools into order communications workflows ensures patients receive the most appropriate imaging based on their symptoms, right from the start. These systems not only help reduce imaging backlogs but also support referrers in confidently selecting the best test for each patient, improving efficiency, accuracy, and overall care quality.
This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to the NHS Long Term Plan, driving clinical efficiency and empowering healthcare professionals with intelligent tools that support better decision-making.
The first joint implementation is already underway, with a formal go-live announcement expected soon. This marks the beginning of an important step forward in radiology decision support.
