Social Rx is fully interoperable with EMIS Web. The interoperability is two-way and enables both easy referrals from EMIS Web into Social Rx, and data activities recorded in Social Rx to be sent back into EMIS Web. The interoperability requires two sets of setup, 


Please note; In order to complete setup of the interoperability, the Social Rx team will support you to complete this stage of the setup via a 20 minute online teams meeting. To arrange a meeting with the Social Rx team, please speak to your account manager, or email us at support@promaticadigital.co.uk 


The full setup instructions for enabling the interoperability are here. 


1. Easy referrals from EMIS Web into Social Prescribing - Portal SDK 


The interoperability enables an easy click-through from the patient record in EMIS Web, into an embedded referral form that auto-populates the referral form with patient demographics and GP practice details. The user simply needs to add the 'reason for referral' and submit the referral. 


Once a referral has been made, clinicians can use the Social Rx click-through button in EMIS Web to get a succinct overview of the data stored in Social Rx about that patient, via a summary view, 


To set up the interoperability, follow these instructions:


Step 1: Select the patient within EMIS Web

Step 2: Select the configuration option and then select the organisation configuration button as shown below. 



Step 3: Select the organisation button at the bottom left of the screen and then click the edit button. This will pop up the Organisation Edit button as below:


Step 4: Select Social Rx from the list of options on the left of the pop up window. Set the portal access to enabled and set require login access to no. Social Rx will now be enabled on EMIS Web. 


and:


2. Social Rx data can be filed back into EMIS Web - Partner API 


Data recorded in Social Rx can be sent back into EMIS Web and recorded as consultation notes in the patient record. The types of data that are sent back into EMIS Web include actions plans, assessments and service bookings. When a patient is accepted onto social prescribing, the coded data is sent back into EMIS Web.
