Modernizing Patient Intake and Care Coordination with Salesforce Health Cloud

Healthcare providers today are under pressure to deliver faster, more connected, and more patient-centric care while managing increasing operational complexity. Disconnected systems, manual handoffs, and fragmented patient data continue to slow down intake, onboarding, and care coordination.

This is where a thoughtfully designed Salesforce Health Cloud solution can make a measurable difference.

In this blog, we walk through a real-world Salesforce Healthcare journey that demonstrates how patient intake, clinical screening, AI-assisted triage, appointment scheduling, and patient onboarding can be unified into a single, scalable platform.

Healthcare transformation doesn’t begin with technology. It begins when systems finally align around the patient.

The Challenge: Fragmented Intake and Care Journeys

Many healthcare organizations still rely on a patchwork of systems to manage outreach, intake, clinical data, scheduling, and patient onboarding. This often results in:

• Duplicate patient records and inconsistent identifiers

• Manual data entry across multiple systems

• Limited clinical context during scheduling and follow-up

• Delays between screening, triage, and care delivery

  
  

When data and workflows are fragmented, care teams lose valuable time and patients experience unnecessary friction.

A modern healthcare CRM must do more than store data. It must act as a system of action, connecting insight directly to execution.

A Unified Salesforce Healthcare Architecture

The solution demonstrated in this jumpstart video is built across three Salesforce clouds working together:

• Sales Cloud for outreach-driven engagement and lead management

• Experience Cloud for patient-facing portals and digital intake

• Health Cloud for clinical data, patient records, and care coordination

  
  

Together, these clouds enable an end-to-end healthcare journey without manual handoffs or disconnected systems.

The End-to-End Healthcare Use Case

The demo follows a realistic scenario that begins with a workplace health screening campaign and ends with a fully onboarded Patient record in Salesforce Health Cloud.

1. Patient Registration Through Experience Cloud

The journey begins when a patient registers for a free health screening through an Experience Cloud portal.

The portal captures:

• Basic demographics

• Consent

• Initial intake details

  
  

This information is securely captured and immediately available in Salesforce, eliminating the need for paper forms or re-entry.

2. Clinical Screening and Secure Data Capture

At the screening location, clinical staff capture vitals and screening data through a guided, mobile-friendly interface.

The data is:

• Stored securely in clinical data objects

• Linked directly to the patient’s record

• Structured for compliance and downstream use

  
  

This ensures clinical data is available in real time without navigating complex systems.

3. AI-Assisted Clinical Triage with AgentForce

Once screening data is submitted, AgentForce evaluates the clinical inputs using predefined logic and AI-driven prompts.

Within seconds, the system generates:

• A numeric risk score

• A risk summary

• A recommended specialist

  
  

These insights are written back to the visit record and made visible to care teams, enabling faster and more informed decision-making.

4. Automated Patient Communication and Scheduling

Based on the screening outcome, the patient automatically receives an email with:

• A screening summary

• A secure link to book an appointment

  
  

Through the Experience Cloud portal, the patient selects a provider and preferred time slot. The appointment request is created in Salesforce and linked to the clinical screening data, ensuring staff have full context when reviewing the request.

5. Lead-to-Patient Conversion in Health Cloud

When the clinic is ready to onboard the patient, a Clinical Operations Admin initiates the conversion process in Salesforce Health Cloud.

The system:

• Automatically creates or validates a Medical Record Number

• Prevents duplicate patient records

• Converts the Lead into a Patient (Person Account)

• Preserves the full clinical and engagement history

  
  

Once conversion is complete, the care team has access to a unified longitudinal patient view, supporting follow-up, scheduling, and care coordination.

Seeing the Solution in Action

This complete journey is demonstrated step by step in our Salesforce Health Cloud jumpstart video.
