Social Rx Connect is integrated with EMIS. The integration allows EMIS users to refer patients into Social Rx from within their EMIS Web application. The integration also allows the Social Rx Connect platform to send data back to EMIS Web.

Social Rx Integration with EMIS Web


The Social Rx Connect platform sends data back to EMIS. There are two SNOMED codes that are sent. One for patients accepting social prescribing (871731000000106) and one when a user declines social prescribing (871711000000103). Every assessment and service booking are sent over to EMIS Web for reference. The data can be seen within EMIS as shown below.
