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.

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.
