IMS offers Choose and Book solution
19 Oct 2005



IMS Maxims has announced the immediate availability of its Integrated Choose And Book (ICAB) system which enables NHS and independent healthcare providers with older patient administration systems to start offering date and time slots to the central Choose and Book service and take bookings by return.

The system could help trusts break through the barriers that have beset the implementation of the new service offering patients a choice of places to receive treatment and rapid electronic booking.

Earlier this month, E-Health Insider reported that none of England's primary care trusts was expected to reach the target of 50% electronic bookings set for the end of October. The 100% target set for the end of December looks even more challenging.

The ICAB solution is aimed at trusts with patient administration system (PAS) that are non-compliant with the Connecting for Health (CfH) Choose and Book service. IMS Maxims estimates that around 30% all trust legacy PAS systems are currently unable to provide the messaging required by CfH Choose and Book.

This means real-time date and timeslot information cannot be made available to the central service. Without this information the GP cannot make the appointment when they are with their patient.

Chief executive, Brian Ennis, said: "Maxims ICAB provides full Choose and Book functionality to those hospital PAS systems that are not able to integrate with, and provide the high level interactive messaging required by, the central CfH Choose and Book service.

"It delivers the best possible standard to patients and GPs, giving them the ability to book specific appointment slots in their chosen hospital. ICAB also substantially reduces operating costs relative to the Indirectly Bookable Service [a stop gap solution] and provides the necessary full functionality rather than the minimal data available under IBS."

The Maxims Scheduler, which forms the core of ICAB, is currently used as part of an award winning implementation at Clatterbridge Hospital, Wirral, and the Choose and Book interface software that enabled Maxims PAS to become CfH-compliant.

The Maxims PAS is also in use, helping to deliver choice and enable bookings for patients, at acute trusts in Blackpool and Hammersmith, west London.

IMS say a number of private healthcare organisations who want to be fully linked into the central Choose and Book system have also expressed an interest in ICAB.

In tandem with the announcement about ICAB, IMS also announced an Alliance Agreement with an established channel to both the NHS and the private healthcare markets; under the agreement both companies will cooperate in marketing, supplying and supporting ICAB.

The 'established channel' has not been named but is understood to be a major player in healthcare IT in England.

Reading the results the company still needs quite a lot of new contracts just to survive, has anybody any idea where they may get them from?? My local health authority is just starting to get a database linking all Health Care Sites which eventually will be nationwide in the future, similar I presume to the Irish model in the near future. I have not read any news as to who has the contract but I assume it is NOT IMX and I would also presume that when all UK health agencies are linked up they will be running the same programme.

I Agree with all you said JOCKF.
TAlked to him myself this am.

Just spoke to Stephen Casey- General points are:
He was very positive about the coming year.
There is no intention to raise additional funds.
NTPF contract worth about 1m euros.
They are currently working on CFH related contracts that they would like to announce but are not yet in a position to.
Interims (which should be positive) out in November.
He is not prepared to put a figure on profit for the coming year as this might impact ccontact negotiations.

I think that's about it.

one lesson we must all learn is that shares move on peoples oppinion and not news.how many times have we seen good news but no share movement north and then you get poor news and the price shifts.don't have an oppinion but instead do what the candles are telling you and study and understand them

[kemorkid] 30/9/2005 15:18

Wonder what Irish contract is worth ?

[jockf] 30/9/2005 14:49

WF, are you referring to something happening on the Wirral?

[abubryn] 30/9/2005 13:01

Irish Hospital Waiting List National Website Launched

Powered by MAXIMS technology

from IMS MAXIMS plc

The National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) in Dublin has just launched a new
national online database, the Patient Treatment Register (www.ptr.ie) that
provides public access to waiting numbers and waiting times for thousands of
procedures performed in major hospitals in Ireland. Utilising innovative
database extraction, validation and data warehouse compilation software
developed by IMS MAXIMS plc, the Patient Treatment Register (PTR) provides, for
the first time, validated up-to-date information based upon actual patient
waiting list records held within the individual hospital computer systems.

Initially, Phase 1 of the PTR website incorporates data extracted from seven of
the country's largest acute hospitals. Under the prior waiting list system,
these hospitals accounted for approximately 40% of the total number of patients
waiting nationally. The remaining 45 hospitals will progressively be brought
onto the Register throughout 2006.

The Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children, Mary Harney, T.D., welcomed
the Register: "The Patient Treatment Register is a new way of putting patients
first in the way we provide elective treatments in our hospitals. People will
have better information and choice about their treatment. With their GPs, they
will have a stronger role in decisions about their own treatment. The NTPF
will be proactive in contacting patients to offer treatment options. We will
also now be able to measure progress in getting waiting times down, which is
the aim of government policy and what patients want. This is a practical
example of a patient-centred service.'

In this first, high profile, waiting list initiative in Ireland, this
innovative database solution from IMS MAXIMS plc has provided the NTPF with a
very versatile data interrogation tool. It will enable the Health Service to
see exactly what is happening throughout the country, by hospital on a
month-by-month basis. The PTR system receives waiting list data from the
disparate Patient Administration Systems (PAS') in the different hospitals and
builds it into an information source with detail down to procedural level. The
public are able to view aggregated, easy to understand data on the top 20
procedures, which accounts for approximately 50% of what people are waiting
for, while GPs will have access to more detailed waiting time information for
all available specialties and procedures across all hospitals. Individual
hospitals will also have access to detailed information on their own procedures
and patient wait status.

Barbara Moulton, Operations Manager at NTPF, states: "This has been a very
substantial project. Not only have we had to standardise the way information is
recorded across the country so we know we are comparing like with like, but it
has had to be presented in a simple-to-understand summary format for public
comprehension. We now have live data in a live data warehouse, where none of
our information is older than one week." Having researched waiting list systems
prior to the programme, Barbara continues: "We now have waiting list
information at a higher level than any other available internationally thanks
to IMS."

Brian Ennis, Chief Executive at IMS MAXIMS plc, added: "Providing waiting list
information down to procedural level necessitated the full mapping, of in
excess of 10,000 procedural codes, into the data warehouse. One of the biggest
challenges was negotiating consistent guidelines for recording data across all
hospitals and gaining the agreement to build extra fields in their basic
dataset to give the level of detail in the extract file needed by the NTPF.

"With Phase 1 now complete and all the core procedures and processes now in
place, we look forward to the roll out across the remaining Irish hospitals
with their wide range of disparate PAS systems. It has been a very satisfying
project and an immense pleasure to be associated with such a high profile,
successful initiative. This is the second major system that we have delivered
to the NTPF in the last 2 months, following quickly on the heels of the recent
Patient Management System."

Successes achieved

IMX has been predicting major new contracts for the past 4 years. So predictions are really only 'hopes'. And hope hasn't produce much by way of income yet.

I don't think that it is correct to apply technical analysis to a stock like IMX which is traded so little. Technical analysis works well on indices or heavily traded stocks but for a small stocks like IMX it could be misleading.

Look at the fundamentals...

Cheading.

Congratulations for those who got in at the 1.5p low but it could easily have gone the other way with a delisting and wind-up. Easy to call it smart money in hindsight...IMX is on the brink and could fall either way...not sure it would be smart to get in now...but might be smart to get out.

Presumably after many years of waiting you sold at a loss. The smart money buying over last 6 months is 300% up, the chart comnfirms a buy and is bullish.

why sell something which is not telling you to sell i.e candlestick charting reversal signals

[abubryn] 29/9/2005 18:11

Sold these last week after many years of waiting .Now I see results with negative equity of over 4 m glad I did.

[metastock2] 29/9/2005 18:04

looking very promising for imx as new contracts with substantiale income due to come in

[bearable] 27/9/2005 05:13

Post your comments re.AOS(EPIC) please.

Agreed, lets all join his fan club. Looks like he's cautious in word and deed.
