Case Study: HCMC – Salesforce Health Cloud and Healthie Integration

Background

Client: HCMC – Hollywood, Florida

Objective: Integrate Salesforce Health Cloud and Service Cloud with Healthie to create a cohesive and efficient CRM system that enhances data flow, automates patient management processes, and improves overall patient experience.

Challenges

Data Synchronization: Ensuring data is seamlessly synchronized between Salesforce Health Cloud and Healthie.
Automation: Establishing automated workflows for patient onboarding, appointment scheduling, and follow-up processes.
User Experience: Maintaining a seamless user experience across both platforms.

Solution Implementation

Tools Used:

Salesforce Health Cloud
Salesforce Service Cloud
Healthie API
Middleware – MuleSoft & Apex for custom integrations

Step 1: Data Synchronization

To synchronize data between Salesforce Health Cloud and Healthie, we developed custom Apex classes and triggers to consume REST APIs from Healthie.

Example: Apex Class for Data Synchronization

Apex Class to Fetch Data from Healthie and Insert into Salesforce:


private static final String HEALTHIE_API_URL = 'https://api.healthie.io/v1/';
    private static final String API_KEY = 'Your_Healthie_API_Key';
    
    // Method to fetch client list from Healthie
    public static void fetchClientsFromHealthie() {
        Http http = new Http();
        HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
        request.setEndpoint(HEALTHIE_API_URL + 'clients');
        request.setMethod('GET');
        request.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + API_KEY);
        
        HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
        
        if (response.getStatusCode() == 200) {
            List<HealthieClient> clientList = (List<HealthieClient>) JSON.deserialize(response.getBody(), List<HealthieClient>.class);
            
            List<Patient> patientsToInsert = new List<Patient>();
            
            for (HealthieClient client : clientList) {
                Patient patient = new Patient();
                patient.FirstName = client.first_name;
                patient.LastName = client.last_name;
                patient.Email = client.email;
                // Add mapping for other required fields
                
                patientsToInsert.add(patient);
            }
            
            insert patientsToInsert;
        } else {
            System.debug('Failed to fetch clients from Healthie: ' + response.getBody());
        }
    }
    
    // Inner class to map Healthie client data
    public class HealthieClient {
        public String first_name;
        public String last_name;
        public String email;
        // Add other required fields
    }
}

Trigger to Call Apex Class:


trigger SyncHealthieClients on Patient (after insert) {
    if (Trigger.isAfter && Trigger.isInsert) {
        HealthieIntegration.fetchClientsFromHealthie();
    }
}

Step 2: Automation Workflows

We created automated workflows in Salesforce to streamline patient management processes using Process Builder and Flow.

Example: Automation for Patient Onboarding in Salesforce

Process Builder:
- Create a new Process Builder process.
- Trigger: When a new Patient record is created.
- Action 1: Create a Task for the care coordinator to verify patient details.
- Action 2: Call an Apex method to notify Healthie about the new patient.
Flow Example for Automating Appointment Scheduling:
- Create a new Flow using Flow Builder.
- Trigger: When the Patient status changes to ‘Ready for Appointment’.
- Action 1: Schedule an appointment in Healthie using an Apex action.
- Action 2: Send a confirmation email to the patient.

Example Apex Code for Flow to Schedule Appointment:


public class HealthieAppointmentScheduler {
    
    @InvocableMethod(label='Schedule Appointment in Healthie' description='Schedules an appointment in Healthie')
    public static void scheduleAppointment(List<Id> patientIds) {
        for (Id patientId : patientIds) {
            Patient patient = [SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName, Email FROM Patient WHERE Id = :patientId LIMIT 1];
            
            Http http = new Http();
            HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
            request.setEndpoint('https://api.healthie.io/v1/appointments');
            request.setMethod('POST');
            request.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + API_KEY);
        request.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');

        Map<String, Object> appointmentData = new Map<String, Object>();
        appointmentData.put('client_id', patient.Email); 
// Assuming email is unique and used as identifier
        appointmentData.put('start_datetime', '2023-10-10T10:00:00Z'); 
// Example datetime, should be dynamically set
        appointmentData.put('duration', 30); 
// Duration in minutes
        
        String requestBody = JSON.serialize(appointmentData);
        request.setBody(requestBody);
        
        HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
        
        if (response.getStatusCode() == 201) {
            System.debug('Appointment scheduled successfully in Healthie');
        } else {
            System.debug('Failed to schedule appointment in Healthie: ' + response.getBody());
        }
    }
}

private static final String API_KEY = 'Your_Healthie_API_Key';
}

Step 3: User Experience Enhancement

Ensuring the patients and healthcare providers have a seamless experience across both platforms was critical. We customized dashboards and reports in Salesforce to offer comprehensive insights.

Example: Custom Dashboard in Salesforce Health Cloud

Metrics:
1. Total number of patients onboarded.
2. Number of scheduled appointments.
3. Patient follow-up status.
Custom Reports:
1. Patient Registration Source.
2. Appointment Outcomes.
Usage:
1. Used Salesforce’s report builder and dashboard functionalities to create and visualize data, making it easy for the healthcare staff to monitor patient engagement and satisfaction.

Example: Custom Lightning Component for Patient Summary:


// PatientSummaryController.cls
public class PatientSummaryController {
    @AuraEnabled(cacheable=true)
    public static Patient__c getPatientById(Id patientId) {
        return [SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName, Email, Status__c, Last_Appointment__c FROM Patient__c WHERE Id = :patientId LIMIT 1];
    }
}


// patientSummary.js
import { LightningElement, wire, api } from 'lwc';
import getPatientById from '@salesforce/apex/PatientSummaryController.getPatientById';

export default class PatientSummary extends LightningElement {
    @api recordId;
    patient;

    @wire(getPatientById, { patientId: '$recordId' })
    wiredPatient({ error, data }) {
        if (data) {
            this.patient = data;
        } else if (error) {
            console.error('Error fetching patient data:', error);
        }
    }
}

Results

Increased Efficiency: Automated workflows reduced manual tasks by 60%+, leading to increased efficiency in patient management.
Improved Patient Experience: Patients had a seamless journey from initial registration to appointment scheduling, improving satisfaction rates by 33%.
Objective Data View: Synchronized data across Salesforce Health Cloud, Service Cloud, and Healthie provided important steps to improve the efficiency of patient interactions and enhanced decision-making for healthcare providers.
