For instance, let’s check out how salesforce health cloud works to manage patient’s appointments
To manage appointments in Health Cloud, several steps are involved.
- First, the source system’s time slot support needs to be identified. The Health Cloud global interface is then implemented, followed by transforming the input request to match the source electronic health records (EHR) system.
- The request is then routed to the EHR system, and the appointment information is retrieved. This integration can be done directly or through middleware like Mulesoft.
- The Salesforce Provider data model provides the ability to filter and display providers in the user interface. REST callouts from Health Cloud connect with the source system for appointment availability and booking. If needed, custom Apex classes can be created for integration with an appointment management system.
- It’s important to note that Health Cloud does not store provider availability or replace existing systems, as the external appointment management system remains the authoritative source for appointment status and provider availability.

Remote Patient Monitoring: Health Cloud facilitates remote patient monitoring through integration with wearable devices and remote monitoring tools, enabling healthcare providers to collect real-time patient data and promote patient engagement in managing their health remotely.
