Care Plans in Public Sector Solutions

Customized Care Plans for Public Sector Solutions and Constituent Support Creating customized care plans for public sector solutions is essential to supporting constituents and promoting their self-sufficiency. Many individuals struggle to find the help they need during health, housing, personal safety, and other crises, which government agencies can address. Public Sector Solutions offers care plans that enable caseworkers to assist constituents in crisis and resolve community issues effectively. How Care Plans Work Care plans are designed with specific goals to help constituents achieve milestones or outcomes, along with benefits to aid in reaching these goals. For example: Common Issues Addressed by Care Plans Caseworkers can use care plans to assist constituents facing various challenges, such as: Initiating Care Plans Often, a need for a care plan is identified when a third party contacts a government agency. For instance, a concerned neighbor reports an elderly person driving erratically. In such cases, Public Sector Solutions allows for the creation of care plans linked to these reports, stored as public complaint records. Creating and Using Care Plan Templates As a Public Sector Solutions administrator or a case manager with assigned permissions, you can create care plan templates tailored to different assistance scenarios. Here’s how the process works: Care plan templates should include specific goals and benefits for various scenarios, ensuring that each plan is tailored to the unique needs of the constituent. Documentation Focus This documentation explains how to set up and use care plan templates with cases created from public complaints. It details the steps from intake to assessment, ensuring that care plans are effectively implemented to support constituents in need. By utilizing these structured care plans, caseworkers can provide targeted assistance, helping constituents navigate crises and work towards self-sufficiency. Like Related Posts Who is Salesforce?

Utilize results to store aggregated values from assessments, program enrollments, benefit disbursements, and other data sources. What is the meaning of outcome management? Outcome management is a client-centric service delivery approach, prioritizing the results clients aim to achieve over merely focusing on available services. It encourages collaboration, allowing agencies to leverage expertise both within and outside the organization. What does outcome management deal with? Outcome Management strategically ensures initiatives align with departmental and governmental outcomes, aiming to achieve the intended results. “In these days in an experience-driven world, customer success is really key to making that customer experience as seamless as possible and developing trusted relationships and customer intimacy. The market is slowly coming to realize that.” Neeracha Taychakhoonnavudh, EVP of Global Customer Success at Salesforce What is an outcome-focused approach?

CRM Analytics Limits

When using CRM Analytics, keep these limits in mind. API Call Limits These limits apply to all supported editions. API Call Limit Maximum concurrent CRM Analytics API calls per org 100 Maximum CRM Analytics API calls per user per hour 10,000 Dataset Row Storage Allocations per License In Salesforce org, your total row storage limit for all registered datasets combined depends on your license combination. Each license allocates a different number of rows. Baseline Row Allocation Allocated Rows CRM Analytics Plus 10 billion CRM Analytics Growth 100 million Sales Analytics 25 million Service Analytics 25 million Event Monitoring Analytics 50 million B2B Marketing Analytics 25 million CRM Analytics for Financial Services Cloud 25 million CRM Analytics for Health Cloud 25 million Extra Data Rows license 100 million Your total row storage limit is a combination of your active licenses. For example: Because the CRM Analytics Plus license includes the Sales Analytics and Service Analytics licenses, your total row allocation remains 10 billion. Similarly, the CRM Analytics Growth license includes the Sales Analytics and the Service Analytics licenses, so your total row allocation remains 100 million. However, if you obtain another Sales Analytics or Services Analytics license, your row limit increases by 25 million for each added license. Dataset Row Limits Each dataset supports up to 2 billion rows. If your Salesforce org has less than 2 billion allocated rows, each dataset supports up to your org’s allocated rows. Dataset Field Limits Value Limit Maximum number of fields in a dataset 5,000 (including up to 1,000 date fields) Maximum number of decimal places for each value in a numeric field in a dataset (overflow limit) 17 decimal placesWhen a value exceeds the maximum number of decimal places, it overflows. Both 100,000,000,000,000,000 and 10,000,000,000,000,000.0 overflow because they use more than 17 decimal places. A number also overflows if it’s greater (or less) than the maximum (or minimum) supported value. 36,028,797,018,963,968 overflows because its value is greater than 36,028,797,018,963,967. -36,028,797,018,963,968 overflows because it’s less than -36,028,797,018,963,967.When a number overflows, the resulting behavior in CRM Analytics is unpredictable. Sometimes CRM Analytics throws an error. Sometimes it replaces a numeric value with a null value. And sometimes mathematical calculations, such as sums or averages, return incorrect results. Occasionally, CRM Analytics handles numbers up to 19 digits without overflowing because they are within the maximum value for a 64-bit signed integer (263 – 1). But numbers of these lengths aren’t guaranteed to process.As a best practice, stick with numbers that are 17 decimal places or fewer. If numbers that would overflow are necessary, setting lower precision and scale on the dataset containing the large numbers sometimes prevents overflow. If your org hasn’t enabled the handling of numeric values, the maximum number of decimal places for each value in a numeric field in a dataset is 16. All orgs created after Spring ’17 have Null Measure Handling enabled. Maximum value for each numeric field in a dataset, including decimal places 36,028,797,018,963,967For example, if three decimal places are used, the maximum value is 36,028,797,018,963.967 Minimum value for each numeric field in a dataset, including decimal places -36,028,797,018,963,968For example, if five decimal places are used, the minimum value is -36,028,797,018,9.63968 Maximum number of characters in a field 32,000 Data Sync Limits If you extract more than 100 objects in your dataflows, contact Salesforce Customer Support before you enable data sync. Value Limit Maximum number of concurrent data sync runs 3 Maximum number of objects that can be enabled for data sync, including local and remote objects 100 Maximum amount of time each data sync job can run for local objects 24 hours Maximum amount of time each data sync job can run for remote objects 12 hours Data sync limits for each job:Marketo Connector (Beta)NetSuite ConnectorZendesk Connector Up to 100,000 rows or 500 MB per object, whichever limit is reached first Data sync limits for each job:Amazon Athena ConnectorAWS RDS Oracle ConnectorDatabricks ConnectorGoogle Analytics ConnectorGoogle Analytics Core Reporting V4 ConnectorOracle Eloqua ConnectorSAP HANA Cloud ConnectorSAP HANA Connector Up to 10 million rows or 5 GB per object, whichever limit is reached first Data sync limits for each job*:AWS RDS Aurora MySQL ConnectorAWS RDS Aurora PostgresSQL ConnectorAWS RDS MariaDB ConnectorAWS RDS MySQL ConnectorAWS RDS PostgreSQL ConnectorAWS RDS SQL Server ConnectorGoogle Cloud Spanner ConnectorMicrosoft Azure Synapse Analytics ConnectorMicrosoft Dynamics CRM ConnectorSalesforce External ConnectorSalesforce Contacts Connector for Marketing Cloud EngagementSalesforce OAuth 2.0 Connector for Marketing Cloud Engagement Up to 20 million rows or 10 GB per object, whichever limit is reached first Data sync limits for each job*:Amazon Redshift ConnectorAmazon S3 ConnectorCustomer 360 Global Profile Data Connector (Beta)Google BigQuery for Legacy SQL ConnectorGoogle BigQuery Standard SQL ConnectorHeroku Postgres ConnectorMicrosoft Azure SQL Database ConnectorSnowflake Input Connector Up to 100 million rows or 50 GB per object, whichever limit is reached first *When using these connectors, Salesforce Government Cloud org data is protected in transit with advanced encryption and can sync up to 10 million rows or 5 GB for each connected object, whichever limit is reached first. Note When using a Salesforce local input connection, CRM Analytics bulk API usage doesn’t count towards Salesforce bulk API limits. Use of the external Salesforce connection and output connection impacts your limits. The dataflow submits a separate bulk API call to extract data from each Salesforce object. The dataflow uses a batch size of 100,000–250,000, depending on whether the dataflow or the bulk API chunks the data. As a result, to extract 1 million rows from an object, the dataflow creates 4–10 batches. Recipe and Dataflow Limits Important In Winter ‘24, recipe runs over 2 minutes are counted against the limit. Previously, the recipe run counts weren’t correct. For more information, see Known Issue – Recipe runs are not counting towards the daily maximum run limit. Value Limit Maximum amount of time each recipe or dataflow can run 48 hours Maximum number of recipes 1,000 Maximum number of dataflows definitions (with data sync enabled) 100 Maximum number of dataflow and recipe runs in a rolling

Easily Refer Constituents to Providers by Using a Guided Flow

Facilitate constituent referrals to service providers effortlessly by utilizing a guided flow. This streamlined process enables the inclusion of comprehensive information about individuals or households, providers, and other essential details. Enhance the effectiveness of service delivery by sharing the referral record and additional information directly with the service provider. Your caseworkers can easily refer constituents to providers using guided flow. Implementation of this feature is relevant in Lightning Experience within Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions where Public Sector Solutions are enabled. Provider Referral The provider referral guided flow optimizes how caseworkers communicate pertinent information to service providers, encompassing details such as required services, necessary documentation, and other crucial information for efficient service delivery. Government agencies often become aware of constituents in need when they apply for benefits or when concerns are reported or referred to the agency. Caseworkers play a vital role in understanding constituent issues, identifying suitable benefits and services to enhance well-being, and referring constituents to other agencies or providers as necessary. Caseworkers carry out various tasks when referring constituents to providers, including reviewing benefit applications, assigning benefits to eligible constituents, and searching for certified providers to deliver the required benefits. If certified providers are not available, caseworkers may refer constituents to another agency or provider offering the necessary services. Refer constituents to providers using guided flow The provider referral guided flow assists caseworkers in efficiently sharing pertinent information with providers during the referral process. This flow facilitates tasks such as including constituent and provider information from records, entering referral details, describing required services, attaching relevant documents, and sharing additional information through service-specific PDF templates for customization by the provider or agency. Upon completion of the flow, a referral is created, and documents, along with filled PDF templates, are attached and shared with selected providers or agencies. Providers and agencies then utilize the shared information to determine their capacity to serve referred constituents. The Provider Referral flow is presented as an OmniScript guided flow, allowing customization of the OmniScript and associated OmniStudio components to align with specific programs and processes. Additionally, create fillable PDF templates to share tailored information with providers for the services delivered to constituents.

Trust in AI Data

As companies rapidly embrace Artificial Intelligence and realize its benefits, trust must be their top priority. And to instill trust in AI, they must first instill trust in the data that powers it. Think about data as a well-balanced diet for AI — you’re healthiest when you avoid junk food and consume all the proper nutrients. Simply put, organizations can only harness the full power of AI when it is fueled by accurate, comprehensive data.  The Future is Here AI is no longer a futuristic concept; it has become a reality in our living rooms, cars, and frequently, in our pockets. As this technology continues to play an ever-expanding role in our daily lives, a crucial question arises: To what extent can, and should, we place our trust in these AI systems? Trust in AI data comes more naturally for some than others. As the prevalence of AI increases, so does the concern about ensuring that it aligns with human values. A frequently cited example illustrating this challenge involves the moral decision an autonomous car may face when confronted with a collision scenario. Consider a situation where a driver must swerve to avoid being hit and seriously injured by an oncoming bus. However, the dilemma arises as the car faces the prospect of hitting a baby if it swerves left or an elderly person if it swerves right—posing a complex ethical question for the autonomous car. Arvind Krishna, Senior Vice President of Hybrid Cloud and Director of IBM Research, emphasizes the importance of careful programming in AI systems to prevent biases introduced by programmers from influencing outcomes. Recognizing the complexity of such issues, he discusses the need to develop frameworks for addressing these ethical challenges, a task IBM is tackling through its participation in the Partnership on AI alongside other technology organizations. Trust in AI data vs bias: Instances of machines demonstrating bias have already garnered attention, eroding trust in AI systems. AI technicians are actively working to identify and mitigate the origins of bias, acknowledging that machines can become biased due to inadequate representation in their training data. Guru Banavar, IBM Chief Science Officer for Cognitive Computing, notes that unintentional bias may arise from a lack of care in selecting the right training dataset, while intentional bias can result from a malicious attacker manipulating the dataset. James Hendler, Director of the Institute for Data Exploration and Applications at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, reminds us that while AI can be a force for social good, it also holds the potential for diverse social impacts, where actions deemed good by one may be perceived as harmful by another. Hence, an awareness of these complexities is essential in navigating the ethical landscape of AI applications. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing work processes and service delivery, empowering organizations to harness its formidable capabilities for data-driven predictions, product and service optimization, innovation augmentation, increased productivity, and cost reduction. While the benefits of AI adoption are immense, it also introduces risks and challenges, prompting concerns about the current level of trustworthiness in AI applications. Public Trust in AI data Unlocking the full potential and return on investment from AI necessitates a sustained commitment to building and upholding public trust. For widespread adoption, people must have confidence that AI development and utilization adhere to responsible and trustworthy practices. In a pioneering initiative, KPMG Australia, in collaboration with the University of Queensland, conducted a world-first in-depth exploration of trust and global attitudes toward AI across 17 countries. The resulting report, “Trust in Artificial Intelligence: A Global Study 2023,” delivers comprehensive insights into the factors influencing trust, the perceived risks and benefits of AI utilization, community expectations regarding AI governance, and the entities considered trustworthy in AI development, usage, and regulation. This report, titled “Trust in Artificial Intelligence: 2023 Global Study on the Shifting Public Perceptions of AI,” presents key findings from the global study and offers individual country snapshots, serving as a valuable resource for those leading, creating, or governing AI systems. Importantly, it outlines four critical pathways for policymakers, standards setters, governments, businesses, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to navigate the challenges associated with trust in the development and deployment of AI.

Improving Public Sector Employee Experience

Improving the Public Sector Employee Experience with Salesforce

Confronted with the ever-evolving challenges of a dynamic workforce, the public sector, much like its private counterparts, grapples with transformations brought about by the pandemic, remote work, health issues, retirements, and cyber threats.  Improving Public Sector Employee Experience with Salesforce helps. Improving Employee Experience with Salesforce to Prevent the Great Resignation and Quiet Quitting As the “new normal” emerges, organizations anticipate persistent issues related to employee engagement and retention, including the growing phenomenon known as the “Great Resignation.” This surge in resignations presents a potential crisis, intensifying the competition for talent amid a rise in open positions and governmental constraints. And now we have employees who are “Quiet Quitting.”  Quiet quitting refers to doing the minimum requirements of one’s job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary. The Solution? The key to attracting and retaining top talent involves reimagining staffing functions and prioritizing the overall Employee Experience. Like private enterprises, successful recruitment often hinges on employee referrals and positive ratings. Digital enablement and modernization play a critical role in meeting employee expectations shaped by consumer experiences. Public servants frequently encounter challenges in accessing information, navigating siloed communication, and dealing with paper-based processes, emphasizing the need for efficient, digitally-enabled systems.

Understanding Salesforce Field Service

Salesforce Field Service is an expansive addition to Salesforce Service Cloud, offering a 360 degree perspective on workforce management, especially in scenarios where services extend beyond the office or work site into the field. This typically involves mobile employees such as service technicians, alongside service agents, dispatchers, and service managers. Let’s dive into the nuances of Salesforce Field Service, addressing key aspects like its definition, user roles, reporting, scheduling, optimization, and more. Salesforce Field Service is also a popular tool in public sector solutioning. Understanding Salesforce Field Service will help to decide if it is right for your service teams. Understanding Salesforce Field Service: Salesforce Field Service, formerly known as Field Service Lightning (FSL), is an extension of Service Cloud designed to provide a comprehensive workforce management view. It seamlessly manages services delivered in the field, such as a electrical installer arriving to fulfill a customer’s order. Field Service Lightning evolves with each Salesforce release, continually enhancing functionality. Salesforce Field Service enhances customer engagement with real-time personalization, optimization of field teams with a scheduling engine, and access to offline data. Components of Salesforce Field Service: Field Service comprises various components, including Service Appointments, Salesforce Service Cloud integration, Territory and Scheduling functionalities, the Field Service Dispatcher Console, and the Field Service Mobile App for Android and iOS with offline capabilities. A detailed data model diagram illustrates the relationship between Service Cloud and Field Service. Users of Salesforce Field Service: Salesforce Field Service is particularly valuable for organizations with mobile field technicians supporting customers. It excels in scenarios with intricate service delivery involving multiple individuals like dispatchers, field technicians, service agents, and service managers. Each user persona interacts with Salesforce Field Service in distinct ways, utilizing tools like the Dispatcher Console or Field Service Mobile App tailored to their roles. Use Cases for Salesforce Field Service: Field Service proves beneficial in diverse service scenarios, including repairs, maintenance, sales visits, and healthcare care visits. It facilitates efficient coordination among dispatchers, field technicians, service agents, and service managers, streamlining processes and enhancing customer satisfaction. Key Terms in Salesforce Field Service: Understanding key terms such as Work Orders, Service Appointments, Contracts, Entitlements, Work Types, Service Territories, Operating Hours, Resources, and Scheduling Policies is essential. These terms collectively form the foundation of Salesforce Field Service’s robust data model and optimized usability. Scheduling and Optimization: Scheduling in Salesforce Field Service is managed through the Dispatcher Console, empowering dispatchers to make informed decisions. Various methods, from manual to fully automated, enable the creation of service appointments, optimizing resource allocation and ensuring efficient service delivery. Forecasting and Planning: Use real-time data to quickly assess the impact of global or in-day optimization on travel time and resource utilization. Refine scheduling policies, get an instant view of optimization results, and KPI changes. Asset Service Management: Move from reactive to proactive service with real-time asset tracking. Monitor service outcomes and create preventive maintenance plans based on asset use, condition, age, and specific criteria. Service Territory Design: Service Territories, categorized as Primary, Secondary, and Relocation Territories, define where teams can perform work. Well-defined territories are crucial for efficient dispatcher satisfaction, requiring thoughtful initial design and ongoing maintenance. Field Service Mobile App: The Salesforce Field Service Mobile app is essential for on-the-move workforces, offering technicians essential information to optimize job execution. Offline capabilities ensure uninterrupted work, and the Visual Remote Assistant feature enables two-way video and audio communication between agents, technicians, and customers. Slack for Field Service: Empower your mobile workforce with seamless connectivity and timely assistance whenever it is needed. Mobilize for service appoints and tap into the expertise of colleagues throughout the organization with the user-friendly Slack interface. Reporting in Salesforce Field Service: Monitoring service efficiency and success involves leveraging Salesforce reports, list views, and other platform analytics. Work Order List Views and Field Service Report Types provide insights into service call-outs and overall performance. Enabling Field Service Lightning: Setting up Salesforce Field Service involves installing it as a Managed Package, assigning licenses to users, and configuring standard objects like Products, Assets, Service Contracts, and Entitlements. Creating records for Service Territories, Service Resources, and Operating Hours establishes the framework for the service model. Field Service Deployments: Deployments in Salesforce Field Service can be time-consuming due to its reliance on object data. Considerations for complex relational data movement between environments and potential risks, such as resistance to automation, require careful attention. Tectonic, as a Salesforce Consulting Partner, can assist your company in deploying Salesforce Field Service. Salesforce Field Service projects, while intricate, can be highly valuable when executed correctly providing a large ROI. Adequate planning, phased implementations, and a long-term perspective contribute to the success of organizations leveraging the capabilities of Salesforce Field Service. If you are looking for a more robust solution, consider Field Service Plus combining dispatch and technician functionality along with Service Cloud and Sales Cloud.
