Salesforce Health Cloud vs. The Cedar Suite

The best scenario [is] that it has [a] particular object which can directly store the records of the client [who] has purchased the policy and practitioner details with [their] expertise. The users can directly book the appointment using LWC or Aura components which can be exposed on websites. The object will be linked with each other [using] a lookup relation which creates a complete framework to handle the cases and details of the clients, [their] policies, and other details as well. Booking or finding a practitioner can be done with the [Salesforce] Health Cloud app where it can use [your] current location and provide details of [available] nearby doctors. Health Cloud supports live agent as well where a user can get the details on his insurance policy and get other help if he need from the chat option with live agent.

• [There] are particular objects such as person accounts which [are] linked with [health care company accounts if they have a policy].
• We have flows and pages where a user or client can book [their] appointment with a practitioner and get instant help by raising a case or request for [an] appointment.
• [Salesforce] Health Cloud keeps all the records of clients and practitioners and can link them when and where ever needed.
• Objects in the managed package have [a] standard field which gives a perfect solution with out-of-the-box functionality without creating such a model or structure.
• We can raise cases or requests and [use] automation tools like flows [so] the case will be assigned to [a] practitioner or the queue of the user.

• buy-in from IT to support a system on Epic was not keen to work with decreased our ability to function in the way we expected
• lack of knowing this integration challenge prior

The software offers a wide range of functionality, which I truly appreciate. However, there is so much there that a lot of drilling into information can be required. This can create a significant learning curve for new users.

We also evaluated Epic's system called Cheers. Salesforce is much better organized and easy to use. Cheers had some major weaknesses.
