I wouldn’t say I like thinking about 2020 and how the world changed overnight. The world stopped, but one industry in every part of the world was working harder than ever. We cannot thank the healthcare industry enough for being by our side throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. I had two healthcare frontline workers in my family, and I am forever grateful to them for their bravery. Whenever there is an emergency, be it for natural causes or medical, the healthcare industry never gets to take a break.
A hospital near my home was understaffed and unprepared for the volume of Covid patients they were getting every day. They even had to send back patients because they did not know what to do. The pile of data they were receiving every hour was being written down by hand by nurses, and they could not keep up. Thus, this caused a delay in treatment and overall patient care. We cannot let these kinds of things happen again. The tremendous pressure and demand on the healthcare industry forced them to re-evaluate their care model. The future of healthcare is in the capability of hospitals and caregivers holistically understand their patients and provide a value-based personalized experience.

Why should you get Salesforce Health Cloud?
There are two reasons why you should:
1. Interoperability
Salesforce Health Cloud caters to the core of the patient-focused approach in healthcare: a 360-degree holistic view of every patient. Health Cloud can pull in data from different integrated systems in your organization. Interoperability combines all of those patients’ data into one platform enabling healthcare professionals to efficiently and quickly provide services and information.
Salesforce Health Cloud will provide you with a rich set of data models. Those can be used for care management, critical patients, relationship management, etc. This software has the power of integration to combine and organize information from various data sources and help you achieve true interoperability. For example, with Health Cloud, you can build a seamless and connected patient experience on one platform.
2. CRM specific to healthcare
Health Cloud integrates the power of cloud technology that uses specific healthcare terminology to enable everyone in the patient’s wellness journey. Individuals from healthcare team members to patients to payers can access critical information at any time accurately and efficiently.
