In Non-conformist Christianity

In the history of Christianity in England, a 'Connexion' was a circuit of prayer groups who would employ travelling ministers alongside the regular ministers attached to each congregation.
This method of organising emerged in eighteenth century English Non-conformist religious circles; this is why the otherwise old-fashioned spelling (''connexion'' rather than ''connection'') is retained (although ''connexion'' was the house style of The Times of London until around 1984 and 1985). The 'Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion' was founded by Selina, Countess of Huntingdon.
The most significant current use of the term is for the national organization of Methodism in Great Britain; see Methodist Church of Great Britain.

Connexion by PhyQuest

'Connexion' is also the name of a risk-reduction reporting system developed by PhyQuest. The system ensures the communication of critical non-emergent radiology findings and emergency room discrepincies. Connexion first introduced August 20, 2002, with Wellstar Health Systems and Quantum Radiology Northwest at Kennestone Hospital. The reporting system holds a patent at the USPTO office.
An example of when the system might be used:
''John is diagnosed with bronchitis, however, his doctor is not sure of the diagnosis. John's doctor then sends John to the hospital for an x-ray. A radiologist reads John's x-ray and finds that not only does John have bronchitis, but there is also a suspicious nodule in the x-ray that has the potential to be life-threatening cancer.''
The radiologist activates Connexion which ensures that the exam results (John's cancer) are delivered to the appropriate parties (John and his doctor). Connexion records all actions that are taken in reporting the radiology exam.
