What is Salesforce Health Cloud?

Salesforce Health Cloud is a patient and member relationship platform designed to deliver personalized engagement, and provide a complete view of the patient. With Health Cloud, care teams have access to clinical and non-clinical patient and member data including current health conditions and medications, appointment history, communication preferences, and data from the EHR and other systems.

  • 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.

Cons

  • They can have standard pages or components which can directly be used to book or record the appointment with the practitioner.
  • [I believe] there is nothing more that [Salesforce] Health Cloud can improve as already everything comes under automation, from [booking] to service issues, everything is automated.

Most Important Features

  • Automation tools such as flows or process builders can assign the case created to specific users or queues to get issues or people resolved.

  • [A] live agent is [an] important thing that is added, clients can get help from [an] agent or from knowledge articles.

Return on Investment

  • [The] best part is that it is cloud-based technology where data and records will always be ready for use and there is minimal chance of losing the data.
  • It has reduced the efforts of the agents to book appointments or find the right practitioner which saves time [for] both the agent as well as the client.
  • There are automation tools [that] are used to send emails for reminders of policies.
  • Issues of people can be handled when a case is created and it gets assigned to a user or queue of users to get the issue resolved asap.
