Q) What is Health Cloud? As in today’s world people are generally suffering from various diseases. And they need to consult doctors time to time, still they don’t get any relief which results into changing the doctor which is also cost consuming. So for this Health Cloud, supports in creating a one to one relationships of the Health services provider with the patients. Health Cloud’s main aim is to connect the caregivers and patients with a focus on patient’s graphs that has been obtained from various medical devices, electronic medical records etc. Health Cloud provides a complete view of the Patient’s data. Salesforce focuses on making the system flexible for keeping tracks of the patients and also how the patients population can be controlled in a great way. Private special community is the component/medium through which patients and caregivers can communicate directly with each other. The company is working with leading software vendors and systems integrators to tie together existing medical IT systems and layer on Salesforce’s trademark customization. Taking an example: A person suffering from dengue visits a care center telling his/her problem about joint pain. But the doctor on duty may be new and thus not knowing the patient has already visited twice for the same problem. If all these information was fed in the database, the process could have been much easier leading to a much better treatment. How Salesforce collided with Health Care providers? Firstly, the health care providers start putting their patient’s data in the form of records in Salesforce to keep all the information related to patients secure. Then the Insurance and pharmaceutical companies after realizing the big competition decided to use the software for keeping the patients data and the prescribed medications. Installing Health Cloud in salesforce Go to setup-> search for Accounts in quick search bar -> Account settings -> Edit -> enable “Allow users to relate a Contact to multiple Accounts”. Install the Health Cloud package. Login as a System Administrator and Install. Setup the org- Setup my domain and deploy to users. Assign the default Record Types, Page Layouts and Permission sets to the System Administrator profile. Configure Health Cloud Profiles, Permission Sets and roles. Customize the Health Cloud Console i.e. key components and attributes according to the company needs. Migrate the patient’s data.   Benefits of Health Cloud: Complete Patient’s health View: Track patient’s Health Status and provide proper medications. And also teach them how to deal with it keeping it transparent. Smart patient management: Schedule the appointments for patient’s. Collaborate patients with caregivers through Private Community like a family. Connected patient engagement: Health Cloud makes it possible for the patient to get involved in their treatments by handling them remote monitoring and also provides the chance to coordinate with the primary providers and care coordinators till the end of the treatment Salesforce Health Cloud: It collates the complete information of the patient in one software so it is easy for health cloud to make decisions and hence start the effective treatments. And the patients can also access their complete status or medications through mobile applications. Salesforce Health Cloud View: Limitations of Health Cloud: Health Cloud is available in Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 or 11. In timeline, the field showing the number of days can show negative days also. The “After” option doesn’t work in recursive tasks.

With Shield, Salesforce looks to strengthen its promise of taking its Trust Services to the next level. Now, even industries with regulatory and compliance requirements such as Financial Services, Healthcare, and Public Sector can leverage the speed and innovation of cloud computing with the assurance of highest level of data protection, availability, and performance. The needs of specific industries can vary depending on the criticality of the data that they manage and use. While some may need to track sensitive customer being exported others might need to encrypt them or maintain an audit trail of data to safeguard data integrity. The understandably high pressure of balancing the shift to cloud platforms with meeting compliance needs has deterred several organizations from making the shift thereby being bereft from the benefits that it promises to bring along! Salesforce Shield is a premium set of integrated services built natively in the Salesforce1 Platform. With it, comes the capability to track the way in which one’s sensitive data is being used & handled. It certainly is a strong empowering tool for customers with complex governance and compliance needs to be able to track data going back up to ten years along with sensitive data encryption if they so desire. Salesforce Shield includes the following core services: Event Monitoring: This feature gives customers the transparent visibility into which users are accessing what kind of data along which the actions that they are taking on it. Field Audit Trial: Salesforce customers now have the ability to go back & check their data state up to 10 years. It provides Audit trial data for up to 60 fields per object. Platform Encryption: All sensitive data can now be easily encrypted at rest (at the metadata layer) without hampering any business functionality. Transaction Security: Users can add various processes to Event Monitoring using the transaction security feature. Specific events can be configured with Salesforce to trigger actions as required. For example: When any User tries to access the Salesforce from any unsupported browser it will not provide access. The Shield Platform works through the combination of the tenant key (available with the customer) and a master secret controlled by Salesforce to generate the org-specific data encryption key. This key is used to encrypt sensitive data stored in standard and custom fields, files, and attachments. The derived keys are never persisted to disc, ensuring maximum security for encryption keys. Setup Salesforce Shield Setup -> Security Controls -> Platform Encryption Create Tenant Secret Enable encryption for files, fields, and attachments Assign permission to generate, rotate, and archive your org’s keys If user has the permission to “View Encrypted data”, then the data gets decrypted before presenting it for user Fields with the following field types: Text, Long Text Area, Phone, Email and URL in standard or custom objects can be encrypted

In History, we read about time segregated by the birth of Christ. The era before him was BC (Before Christ) and that after is referred to as AD (Anno Domini is a Latin word meaning “in the year of the Lord”). So, we all stand in 2017 AD as we go through this blog. By now, you must be thinking we all know this; so what’s the point in discussing here. But, read on…I would now like to lead you to another segregation of time, BC and DC which are Before Cloud and During Cloud! OK! Does this matter? Is it really big enough to elicit such a nomenclature? Aren’t these the next questions racing through your mind? We all know the advent of the Cloud has disrupted not only the ways in which IT works but also the ways in which businesses function. Shown below is a summarized view of where and how businesses have needed to shift focus and attention since the shift to the Cloud.

The economy of “Customer Experience” is here and the vendor has to own the burden of delivering quantifiable business outcomes. Being able to manage change well is no longer enough!

We certainly are lucky to be living in interesting times. Times, when the human race and its ways of living and interacting are constantly evolving in all areas. Disruption and evolution seem to have become the two faces of the same coin. While this discussion can cover n number of facets, let us focus the current scope on IT and how the convergence of several digital forces, mobile, SaaS, cloud, big data, IoT and social, are constantly disrupting markets. The effect of this is that the IT Industry is constantly having to evolve and adapt at faster speeds to live up to the expectations of the market. This is what is being termed as Enterprise Darwinism. In an an era where one must evolve to deliver customer success or die, Enterprise Darwinism or Digital Darwinism refers to the steps taken by enterprises to adapt to the external changes, adopt the right processes, start to think & operate differently in order to be able to scale up to be capable of meeting the challenges of digital transformations. The digital competition along with advent of cloud and mobile has brought about a break down in the traditional IT operating model. IT is now more of an enabler for the business, providing support and training, as required to help the business consume available capabilities to build their own solutions, better suited to their needs. In such an ecosystem, APIs will be key assets that IT teams will build for developers across the organization to use to build new apps, services, and processes. The demand will be for streamlined networks that use APIs to connect the company’s applications, data, and devices. These networks will be the backbones, providing right & fast information & connectivity, across the enterprise. This is what will help enterprises innovate faster, adapt better, create better customer experiences, and eventually get ahead of all competition. This is exactly where MuleSoft comes into the picture. MuleSoft helps build application networks: seamless frameworks of applications, data sources, and devices connected by APIs, whether on-premises or in the cloud. Mulesoft provides various APIs, connectors and models of middleware to centralize and standardize integration practices across an entire infrastructure. It provides a software platform that connects nearly every technology in a standardized way. What is achieved using Mulesoft: Mulesoft unlocks data using APIs and connecting it to external systems and applications It enables to manage and secure the flow of data between all systems in the enterprise Availability of self-serve existing APIs helps teams innovate faster Developers across the organization can leverage existing APIs to create new processes and experiences In a Nutshell, Mulesoft can become one of the critical tool to help adapt and evolve faster. As Darwin stated, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” If enterprise Integration is what can give your business the leading edge, Mulesoft is what can help you achieve it.
