Elemental was established by former community development workers to scale and measure the uptake and impact of the social prescribing movement. Through our innovative digital platform, we provide teams with the technical connectivity they need for multi-sector partnership working, leadership and the measurement of mobilisation of support where needed. We connect with all leading Clinical systems, EMIS Web, Systm1 and Vision which means GPs and others using those systems can make and manage referrals to social prescribing link workers within three clicks. Follow up on the uptake and impact of the referrals with the Elemental Connector Plus and benefit from social prescribing snomed codes being pushed back into the patient record. By better connecting people into their communities the Elemental platform demonstrates the impact that multi-sector partnership working and community and voluntary services have on wellness, community cohesion and demand on health and social care services. www.elementalsoftware.co
