Salesforce Health Cloud vs. Zocdoc

The best scenario [is] that it has [a] particular object which can directly store the records of the client [who] has purchased the policy and practitioner details with [their] expertise. The users can directly book the appointment using LWC or Aura components which can be exposed on websites. The object will be linked with each other [using] a lookup relation which creates a complete framework to handle the cases and details of the clients, [their] policies, and other details as well. Booking or finding a practitioner can be done with the [Salesforce] Health Cloud app where it can use [your] current location and provide details of [available] nearby doctors. Health Cloud supports live agent as well where a user can get the details on his insurance policy and get other help if he need from the chat option with live agent.

If you have dedicated front office or phone support who can immediately call and hound 'booked' patients to get their information in w/in the 24 hours that Zocdoc allows before charging you- this might work- in that case, possibly you could at least charge them a no show fee.

• [There] are particular objects such as person accounts which [are] linked with [health care company accounts if they have a policy].
• We have flows and pages where a user or client can book [their] appointment with a practitioner and get instant help by raising a case or request for [an] appointment.
• [Salesforce] Health Cloud keeps all the records of clients and practitioners and can link them when and where ever needed.
• Objects in the managed package have [a] standard field which gives a perfect solution with out-of-the-box functionality without creating such a model or structure.
• We can raise cases or requests and [use] automation tools like flows [so] the case will be assigned to [a] practitioner or the queue of the user.

• integration with Epic was close to impossible
• buy-in from IT to support a system on Epic was not keen to work with decreased our ability to function in the way we expected
• lack of knowing this integration challenge prior

Incentivized

• high cost for customer acquisition
• customers cancel and practice has no recourse, but must pay Zocdoc
• Not enough time to verify the customer is sincere and get their paperwork in before Zoc Doc charges us
• High cost of service for nurse practitioners
• High rate of attrition- few customers converted to our practice compared to other methods
• We were promised one rate per customer acquired, then the posted rate was increased, twice
• Unable to even charge a no show fee for patients who changed at last minute
• the service as set up encourages patients to bait and switch to other providers at the last minute
• there is no way to limit incoming patients to your home state, so people from out of state book and then have to be notified and unbooked, creating extra work and hassle

The software offers a wide range of functionality, which I truly appreciate. However, there is so much there that a lot of drilling into information can be required. This can create a significant learning curve for new users.

if there was a rating of zero this is what I would give him. Perhaps -10? as I mentioned they are great at getting your referrals, just the wrong ones. There is no extremely process for getting the right client to the right provider. Their calendar sink does not work so they will book over the top of you frequently. They refused to work with you on a reasonable payment plan

We also evaluated Epic's system called Cheers. Salesforce is much better organized and easy to use. Cheers had some major weaknesses.

I can't select it, but I do use psychology today. They charge a flat fee and allow you to list your profile and information on their website. I have gained many referrals from them for 1/8 of the price

• The process of implementation allowed us to better see our data downfalls in our parent EMR system and find ways around it
• Reporting and dashboards allowed us to see the impact of marketing efforts as it related to appointments made
• campaign features allowed us to see which campaigns related to which personas

Incentivized

• I have lost money utilizing Zocdoc.
• Even though they claim their calendars sync with Google, they frequently booked over me, which upset clients I attempted to work with.
• When confronted with their unethical behavior, they basically have it "It sucks to be you" attitude.
