Is Salesforce Health Cloud Worth Investing In?

The patient expectation with their healthcare providers has risen dramatically and to deliver this expectation, the healthcare industry needs to evolve from toggling between the medical record to focus more on the patient relationship.
At this point, Salesforce has already ensured the success of the provider, payer, a health system, pharmaceutical, and medical care organizations by providing a lot of resources. With a continual improvement by releasing new updates three times a year.
Salesforce Health Cloud echo system pushing hard to make it possible for healthcare organizations to build deeper patient relationships and take them to the next level.

Let's move further to see what these resources are :

Integrate data from multiple EMRs into Salesforce:

Due to medical data available in multiple EMRs systems. It's difficult for medical practice professionals to get a complete view of the patient’s health record. and they ended up constantly toggling from one system to another to find the data they required. this leads to less time to spend interacting with patients.
And to solve this problem Salesforce is focused on creating a CRM to manage patient and provider data in one place i.e integrate the data from multiple EMRs to being available in one place.

Case Management:

Health Cloud is developed on top of the Salesforce Service Cloud, and basically it extends the value of service cloud by leveraging its features to manage the workload efficiently across care team members. Let's check out the relationship between Health Cloud and Service Cloud
