JOYCONNECT

A better way to provide preventative care

JoyConnect is the new standard to refer and signpost to non-clinical interventions at scale. It helps divert pressure from overloaded appointments, optimising resources and enhancing patient care.

Works with any clinical system your team already uses, with the deepest integrations built for EMIS and SystmOne.

Refer now, or come back to it later

Every opportunity Joy surfaces during a consultation gives the clinician a clear choice: refer right now, or defer it to Proactive care to action when the time is right.

Proactive care is the single place where all those deferred opportunities collect: a live case list showing who was flagged, what was sent, and where each case stands. Nothing falls through the cracks.
