Collaborating with others

When you want to provide a better service it is important to know the complete background of a person and this happens by collaborating with many resources. Salesforce Health Cloud allows you to integrate with other organizations and collect data to better the customer experience. This results in having a complete analysis of the patient which helps the physicians to understand the medical history of their patient and give them the right dose.

There are five points you need to keep in mind before integrating –

  1. Identify the process that you want to build in Salesforce. The process needs to be created with the help of a diverse team of business teams, clinical owners, and IT specialists.
  2. Collect data as per your needs.
  3. Identify your resources from where data needs to be collected like the pharmacies and laboratories.
  4. Determine whether the data flow will be one way from the source system or two ways between both systems.
  5. Focus on the data that is useful on a real-time basis.
  6. Assign a person who takes care of the integration effectively.
