Overview

What is Salesforce Health Cloud?

Health Cloud is Salesforce's purpose-built CRM for healthcare and life sciences organisations. Built on the core Salesforce platform, it extends standard CRM with clinical data models, patient relationship management, care coordination tools, and interoperability frameworks designed specifically for regulated healthcare environments.

It connects data from EHRs, medical devices, insurance systems, and patient engagement channels into a unified patient profile, giving care teams, case managers, and administrators a complete longitudinal view of every individual they serve.

Health Cloud doesn't replace your clinical systems. It makes everyone who touches a patient work from the same picture.

— Capabilities

What Health Cloud actually does.

Different shape per industry. Pick the persona that owns the program.

01

Patient 360

EHR clinical data, appointments, meds, labs, SDoH in one timeline. No tab-switching, no duplicate chart.

02

Care Plans

Template-driven plans with goals, interventions, and pathways. Auto-assign tasks by care team role and geography.

03

Utilization Management

Prior auth workflows, medical necessity criteria, concurrent review. Decision audit trail per case.

04

Provider Network

Credentialing, affiliations, contracting, panel status. Referral routing against real-time availability.

05

Risk Stratification

ML-based risk scoring on claims, clinical, and behavioral data. Surfaces the rising-risk cohort before admission.

06

Intelligent Doc Automation

Scans clinical documents, extracts coded data, routes to the right object. ICD-10 and SNOMED auto-suggest.

Technical Depth

FHIR, mapped to real Salesforce objects.

Health Cloud's clinical data model aligns to FHIR resources. Click any pair to see how it lands.

Standards in. Records out.

Health Cloud uses the HealthCloud6A__ namespace and ships with objects that mirror FHIR resources. Your interface engine maps clinical payloads to these objects without custom intermediaries. CCDA, HL7v2, and FHIR R4 land in the same target model.

This matters for two reasons. Your EHR team already speaks FHIR. Your CRM team can read the data without learning a new vocabulary.

Eight mappings worth knowing.

Click a row on the right.

FHIR Patient resource lands as a Person Account in Health Cloud. Demographics, identifiers (MRN, member ID), addresses, and emergency contacts populate standard fields. Custom identifiers extend cleanly.

— Unified Record

Six sources. One view that care teams trust.

Patient or member depending on your business. The unification logic does not change.

Why it matters.

Care managers waste 22 minutes per case stitching context across systems. Most of that is pulling claims, EHR notes, refill history, and patient self-report into one frame.

Health Cloud collapses the stitching. Data Cloud handles identity resolution. The clinical model handles structured payloads. Personalization handles the engagement signal. Result: one timeline, one risk score, one set of next-best actions.

— Care Management

From risk score to closed care gap.

Six stations. Click any one to see the under-the-hood mechanics.

Station 01 · Stratify

Risk model finds the patient.

Predictive scoring runs nightly on claims, clinical encounters, lab trends, pharmacy adherence, and SDoH signals. Outputs a composite risk score with SDoH flags. Surfaces the cohort by care manager workload capacity, not just score rank.

Claims · EHR · Rx · SDoH

MODEL

— Agentforce for Health

Six agents that finish healthcare work.

Autonomous, grounded in your clinical and claims data, governed by Einstein Trust Layer. PHI never leaves your perimeter.

Patient Service Agent

Appointment scheduling, refill requests, billing inquiries, benefit lookups. Deflects 60 percent of contact center volume.

— Migration Paths

Coming from somewhere else? We have done it.

Each migration has a different data shape and risk profile. We name what we have shipped.

Veeva CRMHealth Cloud LS

Life Sciences commercial migration

HCP, HCO, accounts, calls, samples. Multichannel cycle plans rebuilt on Salesforce. Veeva Vault stays for regulated content. Six-month standard timeline.

Microsoft Cloud for HealthcareHealth Cloud

Cross-platform CRM migration

Common Data Model to FHIR-mapped Salesforce objects. Power Apps replaced with Lightning. Most clients move because Health Cloud's clinical depth is wider.

Health Cloud LightningHealth Cloud Industries

Within-Salesforce upgrade

Pre-Industries Health Cloud orgs need an object model upgrade. We map the legacy model to the current one without breaking automation. Phased over 12 weeks.

Custom-built CRMHealth Cloud

Off legacy systems

Homegrown provider or payer CRMs with brittle EHR feeds. We rebuild the integration layer first, decommission second. Reduces cutover risk meaningfully.
