Salesforce Health Cloud review

Salesforce Health Cloud is the most complete healthcare CRM we compared. It stores patient and member data in a FHIR-aligned model, pulls clinical and nonclinical records together through FHIR APIs and pre-built integrations, and gives intake, care and contact center teams one patient record. Its Agentforce tools prioritize referrals, book appointments, manage waitlists and coordinate visits with several participants, which maps directly to the referral leakage problem many health systems are trying to fix. Salesforce states that Health Cloud is HIPAA compliant and lists HL7 FHIR, HITRUST and FedRAMP among the standards it meets, and customers can add Shield for extra encryption and monitoring. The tradeoff is cost and effort. The Core edition starts at $350 per user per month on an annual contract, the Advanced edition is $525, and most organizations use a partner to connect the EHR and build workflows. Small clinics will pay for capacity they do not need.
