MCG Health Integrates with Salesforce Health Cloud to Enhance Chronic Care Management
SEATTLE, Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — MCG Health, a leading provider of technology-enabled, evidence-based guidance and a member of the Hearst Health network, has announced a new integration with Salesforce Health Cloud. This integration is designed to improve the management of patients with chronic conditions and those transitioning between different care settings, such as ambulatory care, recovery facilities, or home care. By combining the #1 AI-driven customer relationship management (CRM) platform with the healthcare industry’s most trusted evidence-based guidance, this partnership aims to streamline and enhance patient care.
Salesforce Health Cloud’s Integrated Care Management (ICM) feature now incorporates MCG’s Chronic Care and Transitions of Care guidelines in an interactive format. This powerful combination of technology and clinical decision support optimizes and simplifies care planning for patients as they move through their post-acute journey. The integration offers tools to identify patient needs related to social determinants of health (SDOH) and includes branching logic to accommodate individual patient situations. This innovation is expected to significantly reduce administrative burdens for hospitals and health plan staff while promoting evidence-based care management for patients with chronic conditions and those requiring transition management. Additionally, patient education materials from MCG Health can now be easily sent to patients directly from within Salesforce Health Cloud, enhancing their understanding of diagnoses and treatment options.
“This integration further enhances our ongoing collaboration with MCG and brings greater return-on-investment to our Health Cloud customers by focusing on delivering patient-centered and evidence-based disease management,” said Amit Khanna, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Health at Salesforce.
Jon Shreve, President and CEO of MCG, added, “Our collaboration with Salesforce Health Cloud introduces a powerful, evidence-based tool for managing chronic disease. This integration allows MCG to assist Salesforce’s healthcare customers in streamlining their care planning and disease management programs. The solution not only improves adherence to evidence-based practices but also enhances clinical workflows, benefiting healthcare organizations and, most importantly, the patients.”
Amit Khanna of Salesforce reiterated, “We are excited to integrate MCG’s trusted, evidence-based guidance into Health Cloud, further advancing the care of patients with chronic and complex diseases. This integration enhances our existing work with MCG, providing more value to our Health Cloud customers by emphasizing patient-focused, evidence-based disease management.”
