Kyruus Connect vs NHS Service Finder

Kyruus Connect brings fragmented provider information into a central source for healthcare organizations. Its provider directory lets patients filter by availability, insurance type, specialty, location, and other personal parameters, while profiles may include photos, videos, and care philosophies. The platform automates tasks and workflows and supplies provider data for reporting, analysis, directories, and internal tools. Kyruus presents these capabilities for health systems and health plans. Organizations using Epic can use described options such as single sign-on, Kyruus Search embedded in MyChart, and Epic-integrated provider search and online scheduling. Listed EHRs and integrations also include Oracle Health, MEDITECH, and athenahealth. APIs use centralized provider data for patient engagement, scheduling, and business intelligence tools. Kyruus Connect is available through web and API. Kyruus Health lists HIPAA and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications, and directs current customers to separate help centers. Pricing is on request, with a demo request offered.

NHS Service Finder is a web service for health and social care professionals in England to locate NHS services and direct patients to suitable care. It covers more than 160 searchable service types, including GP surgeries, pharmacies, urgent treatment centres, mental health services and social care. Service listings can include contact details, eligibility criteria, referral instructions, maps and directions; public service information can also be emailed to patients. Information comes from the Urgent and Emergency Care Directory of Services and the NHS website. Search results may vary with the information regional teams have completed, and local commissioning can affect their breadth and quality. The service works on mobile, tablet and desktop with an internet connection and is free to use. Access requires a Care Identity (CIS2), and NHS England’s Service Finder uses multi-factor authentication. Users need individual accounts; shared accounts are no longer supported. It operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with support from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays.
