Salesforce Enhances Nonprofit Cloud with Generative AI

Salesforce Enhances Nonprofit Cloud with Generative AI Capabilities On August 6, 2024, Salesforce Inc. announced that its Nonprofit Cloud platform is the latest in its suite to receive a boost from generative artificial intelligence (AI). This marks a significant milestone as it is the first integration of the Einstein 1 Platform within Salesforce’s Industry Cloud portfolio. The update introduces AI-powered tools designed to help nonprofits enhance operational efficiency, tailor donor engagement, and discover new funding opportunities. Notable features include AI-generated personalized gift proposals and concise summaries of program successes, grant details, donor histories, and more. This move signals Salesforce’s broader strategy to embed AI solutions across its industry-specific offerings, potentially transforming how various sectors leverage AI tools. The new features, such as AI-powered fundraising tools and program summaries, aim to help nonprofits navigate an increasingly challenging landscape by improving efficiency, personalizing donor engagement, and boosting fundraising efforts. Additionally, Salesforce launched Data Cloud for Nonprofits, a new product designed to unify and harmonize data, providing a comprehensive view of donors, volunteers, and program participants. Salesforce’s Nonprofit Cloud, introduced last year, is a specialized version of its renowned customer relationship management (CRM) platform. It offers all the essential CRM features alongside tools tailored for nonprofit organizations. These include donor management capabilities, fundraising tools, and tracking systems for program participation and outcomes. AI-Driven Outreach and Summaries The latest update integrates Salesforce’s Einstein 1 generative AI platform into Nonprofit Cloud, offering AI-powered tools to enhance operational efficiency. For instance, the new fundraising gift proposals feature uses generative AI to create personalized proposals based on an organization’s data, such as previous donor interactions and supported causes. This automation aims to reduce the time needed for nonprofits to solicit financial support. Salesforce Enhances Nonprofit Cloud with Generative AI Aligning With Four Pillars This development aligns with Salesforce’s “four-pillar” approach to enterprise AI success: By integrating the Einstein 1 Platform into Nonprofit Cloud, Salesforce is showcasing its broader AI strategy across its portfolio. Similar integrations could soon follow for other Industry Cloud offerings, potentially accelerating AI adoption in various sectors. Salesforce also introduced the Einstein Summaries feature, which is expected to add significant value by helping nonprofits better understand program success, enhance donor engagement, and simplify the grant review process through AI-generated summaries. Data Cloud for Nonprofits The new Data Cloud for Nonprofits merges structured and unstructured data from various sources into a unified model. This integration enables nonprofits to create comprehensive views of donors, volunteers, and program participants, ultimately helping them assess program performance and fundraising effectiveness. Salesforce unveiled three key innovations for Nonprofit Cloud, each addressing specific challenges in the nonprofit sector: Data Cloud for Nonprofits is available immediately, while the AI-powered fundraising gift proposals and summaries will be generally available this fall. Salesforce also introduced Nonprofit Cloud Einstein 1 Edition, which bundles Nonprofit Cloud, Data Cloud, Einstein, Experience Cloud, and Slack. Nonprofits Embracing AI According to Salesforce, nonprofits are eager for these AI capabilities. The sixth edition of its annual Nonprofit Trends Report highlights the growing need for diversified fundraising strategies and cost reduction. Lori Freeman, Global GM for Salesforce for Nonprofits, emphasized the transformative potential of these innovations: “We’re at a watershed moment for nonprofits. AI is not just another tech trend; it’s a game-changer that could help organizations overcome critical challenges like increased demand for services, rising costs, and donor attrition. By embedding AI directly into Nonprofit Cloud, we’re enabling organizations to streamline their workflows, gain deeper insights, and ultimately increase their impact – all while maintaining the highest standards of data security and trust.” Salesforce’s new Data Cloud for Nonprofits is available now, with AI-powered fundraising gift proposals and summaries features rolling out this fall. Early adopters have already reported positive experiences with the new capabilities. Julie Fleshman, CEO of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, praised Nonprofit Cloud for streamlining clinical trial finder and physician database initiatives, stating that Salesforce is helping advance their mission by connecting patients with specialized healthcare providers and relevant clinical trials.

Connected Care Technology

How Connected Care Technology Can Transform the Provider Experience Northwell Health is leveraging advanced connected care technologies, including AI, to alleviate administrative burdens and foster meaningful interactions between providers and patients. While healthcare technology has revolutionized traditional care delivery models, it has also inadvertently created barriers, increasing the administrative workload and distancing providers from their patients. Dr. Michael Oppenheim, Senior Vice President of Clinical Digital Solutions at Northwell Health, highlighted this challenge during the Connected Health 2024 virtual summit, using a poignant illustration published a decade ago in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The image portrays a physician focused on a computer with their back to a patient and family, emphasizing how technology can inadvertently shift attention away from patient care. Reimagining Technology to Enhance Provider-Patient Connections To prevent technology from undermining the patient-provider relationship, healthcare organizations must reduce the administrative burden and enhance connectivity between patients and care teams. Northwell Health exemplifies this approach by implementing innovative solutions aimed at improving access, efficiency, and communication. 1. Expanding Access Without Overloading Providers Connected healthcare technologies can dramatically improve patient access but may strain clinicians managing large patient panels. Dr. Oppenheim illustrated how physicians often need to review extensive patient histories for every interaction, consuming valuable time. Northwell Health addresses this challenge by employing mapping tools, propensity analyses, and matching algorithms to align patients with the most appropriate providers. By connecting patients to specialists who best meet their needs, providers can maximize their time and expertise while ensuring better patient outcomes. 2. Leveraging Generative AI for Chart Summarization Generative AI is proving transformative in managing the immense data volumes clinicians face. AI-driven tools help summarize patient records, extracting clinically relevant details tailored to the provider’s specialty. For instance, in a pilot at Northwell Health, AI successfully summarized complex hospitalizations, capturing the critical elements of care transitions. This “just right” approach ensures providers receive actionable insights without unnecessary data overload. Additionally, ambient listening tools are being used to document clinical consultations seamlessly. By automatically summarizing interactions into structured notes, physicians can focus entirely on their patients during visits, improving care quality while reducing after-hours charting. 3. Streamlining Team-Based Care Effective care delivery often involves a multidisciplinary team, including primary physicians, specialists, nurses, and social workers. Coordinating communication across these groups has historically been challenging. Northwell Health is addressing this issue by adopting EMR systems with integrated team chat functionalities, enabling real-time collaboration among care teams. These tools facilitate better care planning and communication, ensuring patients receive coordinated and consistent treatment. Dr. Oppenheim emphasized the importance of not only uniting clinicians in decision-making but also involving patients in discussions. By presenting clear, viable options, providers can enhance patient engagement and shared decision-making. The Path Forward: Balancing Technology with Provider Needs As healthcare continues its digital transformation, connected care technologies must prioritize clinician satisfaction alongside patient outcomes. Tools that simplify workflows, enhance communication, and reduce administrative burdens are crucial for fostering provider buy-in and ensuring the success of health IT initiatives. Northwell Health’s efforts demonstrate how thoughtfully implemented technologies can empower clinicians, strengthen patient relationships, and create a truly connected healthcare experience.

Salesforce Campaign Flows
30Jul

Salesforce Campaign Flows: A New Era of Automation

Salesforce’s Flow has long been a powerful automation tool, democratizing access to sophisticated automation for non-coders. It also drives the automation behind Marketing Cloud Growth Edition, including email dispatch. Salesforce Campaign Flows mark a significant step toward making automation more accessible for marketers. For the first time, Salesforce introduces what are termed “non-admin flows,” which offer a streamlined interface for managing Flow automation without dealing with complex nodes and elements. This marks a significant development, as no other Salesforce products currently feature this simplified approach. Marketers now have direct access to Flow’s capabilities. Introduction to Salesforce Campaign Flows Campaign Flows in Salesforce provide a user-friendly interface for setting up email content, applying actions to records triggered by events, and more. This functionality closely parallels tools like Engagement Studio in Account Engagement and Journey Builder in Marketing Cloud. However, the timeline for incorporating features such as Journey Builder’s goals and exit criteria into Campaign Flows remains undisclosed. Flow now supports shorter wait periods, a sought-after feature for orchestrating marketing journeys more effectively. Branching logic with Decision elements allows users to create “yes/no” paths based on lead or contact criteria, adding flexibility to the marketing automation process. Types of Campaign Flows Currently, there are two types of Campaign Flows: Segment-triggered Flows and Form-triggered Flows. The key differences between these Campaign Flows and traditional Salesforce Flows include: Available Elements Campaign Flows are a simplified version of Salesforce Flows, with some elements unavailable in this reduced interface. Key elements such as Wait and Decision elements are included, which are essential for marketing use cases. The following table compares available elements: Element Name Salesforce Flow Segment-triggered Flows Form-triggered Flows Action ✅ ❌ ❌ Add Prompt Instructions ✅ ❌ ❌ Apex Action ✅ ❌ ❌ Assignment ✅ ✅ ✅ Collection Filter ✅ ✅ ✅ Collection Sort ✅ ✅ ✅ Create Records ✅ ✅ ✅ Custom Error ✅ ❌ ❌ Decision ✅ ✅ ✅ Delete Records ✅ ✅ ✅ Email Alert ✅ ❌ ❌ Get Records ✅ ✅ ✅ Loop ✅ ✅ ✅ Recommendation Assignment ✅ ❌ ❌ Screen ✅ ❌ ❌ Send Email Message * ✅ ❌ Send SMS Message * ✅ ❌ Start ✅ ✅ ✅ Subflow ✅ ❌ ❌ Transform ✅ ❌ ❌ Update Records ✅ ✅ ❌ Wait ✅ ✅ ✅ Wait Until Event * ✅ ✅ *Only with Marketing Cloud Growth Wait vs. Wait Until Event Elements The “Wait” element allows for fixed pauses, such as waiting for three days. The “Wait Until Event” element, available in Marketing Cloud Growth, holds Leads/Contacts until a specified event makes them eligible to proceed. This mirrors functionality found in Engagement Studio. User Access and Capabilities In Marketing Cloud Growth, Campaign Flow sharing is set to private by default, with visibility influenced by associated records, sharing rules, and manual sharing settings. This means Campaign Flows are generally private unless additional sharing rules are established. Creating and Editing Campaign Flows Campaign Flows in Marketing Cloud Growth have a simplified user interface compared to Salesforce’s traditional flows. Summary The introduction of non-admin flows in Salesforce marks a significant step toward making automation more accessible for marketers. These simplified interfaces enable the creation of effective marketing campaigns while maintaining the option to integrate with more complex flows in Marketing Cloud Growth Edition. Future developments will likely expand the use cases and capabilities of these streamlined flows.

Enhance Payer Patient Education

Enhance Payer Patient Education

Data and Technology Strategies Enhance Payer Patient Education Analytics platforms, omnichannel engagement tools, telehealth, and other technological advancements have become essential in driving successful, enhanced payer patient education. Cathy Moffitt, MD, a pediatrician with 15 years of experience in the pediatric emergency department and now the senior vice president and Aetna chief medical officer at CVS Health, understands the critical role of patient education. “Education is empowerment. It is engagement. It is very critical to making patients more equipped to handle their healthcare journey,” Moffitt said in an episode of Healthcare Strategies. “Even overseeing a large payer like Aetna, I still believe tremendously in health education.” Enhance Payer Patient Education For large payers, effective patient education begins with data analytics and a deep understanding of their member population. Through data, payers can identify key insights, including when members are most receptive to educational materials. “People are more open to hear you and to be educated and empowered when they need help right then,” Moffitt explained. Timing is crucial—offering educational resources when they’re most relevant to a member’s immediate needs increases the likelihood that the information will be absorbed and acted upon. Aetna’s Next Best Action initiative, launched in 2018, exemplifies this approach. Through this program, Aetna employees reach out to members with specific conditions, offering guidance on the next best steps for managing their health. By providing education at a time when members are most open to it, the initiative ensures that patient education is both timely and impactful. In addition to timing, payer data can shape patient education by providing insights into a member’s demographics, including race, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, and location. Tailoring educational efforts to these factors ensures that communication is accessible and resonates with members. To better connect with a diverse member base, Aetna has integrated translator services into its customer support and trained representatives on sensitivity to sexual orientation and gender identity. Additionally, updating the provider directory to reflect demographic data is crucial. When members see providers who share their language, culture, and experiences, they are more likely to engage with and retain the educational materials provided. “Understanding, in a multicultural and multifactorial way, who our members are and trying to help understand what they need…as well as understanding both acute and chronic illness from an actionability standpoint, where we can best engage to good effect as we reach out to people—that’s the cornerstone of our intent and our philosophy around how we scrub data,” Moffitt shared. With over 20 years in the healthcare industry, both as a provider and now in a payer role, Moffitt has observed key trends and identified strengths and weaknesses in patient education efforts. She noted that the most successful patient education initiatives have been in mental health and preventive care, with technology playing a crucial role in both areas. Patient education has significantly reduced the stigma around mental healthcare and highlighted the importance of mental wellness. Telemedicine has vastly improved access to care, particularly in mental health, Moffitt noted. In preventive care, more people are now aware of the benefits of cancer screenings, vaccines, wellness visits, and other preventive measures. Moffitt suggested that the increased use of home health visits and retail clinics has contributed to these improvements, particularly among Aetna’s members. Looking ahead, Moffitt predicted that customized engagement is the next frontier for patient education. Members increasingly want educational materials delivered in a personalized and streamlined manner that suits their preferences. Omnichannel engagement solutions will be vital in meeting this demand. While significant progress has been made in enabling members to receive educational materials through various channels such as email, text, and phone calls, Moffitt anticipates even more advancements in the future. “I can’t tell you exactly where we’re going to be in 10 years because I wouldn’t have been able to tell you 10 years ago where we are now, but we will continue to respond and meet the demands with the technological commitments that we’re making,” Moffitt said.

All website pages have a purpose, whether that purpose is to drive further clicks, qualify visitors, provide a solution, or even a mix of all of those things. Heatmaps and recorded user sessions allow you to see if your page is serving that purpose or going against it. What Is a Heatmap? Generally speaking, heatmaps are graphical representations of data that highlight value with color. On a website heatmap, the most popular areas are showcased in red (hot) and the least popular are in blue (cold). The colors range on a scale from red to blue. Heatmaps are an excellent method of collecting user behavior data and converting it into a deep analysis of how visitors engage with your website pages. It can analyze: That information will help you identify user trends and key into what should be optimized to up engagement. Setting up website heatmapping software is a great start to refining your website design process and understanding your users. When to Use Heatmaps The truth is that heatmaps can actually be invaluable when testing and optimizing user experiences and conversion opportunities. There are many times you should be using them. Redesigning Your Website Updating, or even upgrading, your website isn’t just a task on your to do list. Careful thought, attention, and creativity should be put into the revamp if you want it to be worth the time and resources. Heatmaps can help with studying your current design to identify what your visitors are engaging with and what they’re ignoring. You’ll be tapped into what makes your visitors tick so that you can build a site meant specifically for your unique audience. Analyzing Webpage Conversions Trying to figure out why certain pages aren’t converting the way you thought they would? Use a heatmap. You’ll be able to identify exactly what’s attracting attention and deduce why. The same goes for buttons and pages that are showing a higher rate of conversion than anticipated. By keying into the design, copy, and other elements that are working for you, you’ll know exactly how to optimize your under-performing webpages. Testing New Updates As your business grows and you develop new ideas, naturally you’ll want to test them. A/B testing allows you to measure and analyze visitor response to a project or design, but you can take it a step further with heatmapping. Leverage the data graph by examining exactly what captures your visitors’ attention. At the end of the testing period, you may be able to pull designs or elements that received high levels of engagement from the page that didn’t perform as well into the successful one. How To Analyze Visually Using the color-coded visualizations, you can read your webpage for engagement levels and attention “hot spots.” Where the map reads red, that’s where visitors are showing the highest points of interactivity. Blue reflects low numbers. You can spot design issues or opportunities to move buttons, forms, and the like with a visual read. Data Points Reviewing raw data tables will give you more specific insights into your page’s performance. You can examine HTML elements and pixel locations of clicks to really understand what’s drawing people in. You can even filter your clicks and views in order of popularity with certain software. This takes the guessing out of your redesign and testing efforts. Tableau has instant, real-time reporting in place for users looking for actionable insights. With smart dashboards and a drag and drop interface, navigating the product is easy. Their cloud storage means omni-channel data access from anywhere.

Boosting Payer Patient Education with Technology

Data and Technology Strategies Elevate Payer-Driven Patient Education Analytics platforms, omnichannel engagement, telehealth, and other technology and data innovations are transforming patient education initiatives within the payer space. Dr. Cathy Moffitt, a pediatrician with over 15 years of emergency department experience and now Chief Medical Officer at Aetna within CVS Health, emphasizes the crucial role of patient education in empowering individuals to navigate their healthcare journeys. “Education is empowerment; it’s engagement. In my role with Aetna, I continue to see health education as fundamental,” Moffitt explained on an episode of Healthcare Strategies. Leveraging Data for Targeted Education At large payers like Aetna, patient education starts with deep data insights. By analyzing member data, payers can identify key opportunities to deliver educational content precisely when members are most receptive. “People are more open to hearing and being educated when they need help right then,” Moffitt said. Aetna’s Next Best Action initiative, launched in 2018, is one such program that reaches out to members at optimal times, focusing on guiding individuals with specific conditions on the next best steps for their health. By sharing patient education materials in these key moments, Aetna aims to maximize the impact and relevance of its outreach. Tailoring Education with Demographic Data Data on member demographics—such as race, ethnicity, gender identity, and zip code—further customizes Aetna’s educational efforts. By incorporating translation services and sensitivity training for customer representatives, Aetna ensures that all communication is accessible and relevant for members from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, having an updated provider directory allows members to connect with healthcare professionals who understand their cultural and linguistic needs, increasing trust and the likelihood of engaging with educational resources. Technology’s Role in Mental Health and Preventive Care Education With over 20 years in healthcare, Moffitt observes that patient education has made significant strides in mental health and preventive care, areas where technology has had a transformative impact. In mental health, for example, education has helped reduce stigma, and telemedicine has expanded access. Preventive care education has raised awareness of screenings, vaccines, and wellness visits, with options like home health visits and retail clinics contributing to increased engagement among Aetna’s members. The Future of Customized, Omnichannel Engagement Looking ahead, Moffitt envisions even more personalized and seamless engagement through omnichannel solutions, allowing members to receive educational materials via their preferred methods—whether email, text, or phone. “I can’t predict exactly where we’ll be in 10 years, but with the technological commitments we’re making, we’ll continue to meet evolving member demands,” Moffitt added.

Boost Payer Patient Education

As a pediatrician with 15 years of experience in the pediatric emergency department, Cathy Moffitt, MD, understands the critical role of patient education. Now, as Senior Vice President and Aetna Chief Medical Officer at CVS Health, she applies that knowledge to the payer space. “Education is empowerment. It’s engagement. It’s crucial for equipping patients to navigate their healthcare journey. Now, overseeing a large payer like Aetna, I still firmly believe in the power of health education,” Moffitt shared on an episode of Healthcare Strategies. At a payer organization like Aetna, patient education begins with data analytics to better understand the member population. According to Moffitt, key insights from data can help payers determine the optimal time to share educational materials with members. “People are most receptive to education when they need help in the moment,” she explained. If educational opportunities are presented when members aren’t focused on their health needs, the information is less likely to resonate. Aetna’s Next Best Action initiative, launched in 2018, embodies this timing-driven approach. In this program, Aetna employees proactively reach out to members with specific conditions to provide personalized guidance on managing their health. This often includes educational resources delivered at the right moment when members are most open to learning. Data also enables payers to tailor educational efforts to a member’s demographics, including race, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, and location. By factoring in these elements, payers can ensure their communications are relevant and easy to understand. To enhance this personalized approach, Aetna offers translation services and provides customer service training focused on sensitivity to sexual orientation and gender identity. In addition, updating the provider directory to reflect a diverse network helps members feel more comfortable with their care providers, making them more likely to engage with educational resources. “Understanding our members’ backgrounds and needs, whether it’s acute or chronic illness, allows us to engage them more effectively,” Moffitt said. “This is the foundation of our approach to leveraging data for meaningful patient education.” With over two decades in both provider and payer roles, Moffitt has observed key trends in patient education, particularly its success in mental health and preventive care. She highlighted the role of technology in these areas. Efforts to educate patients about mental health have reduced stigma and increased awareness of mental wellness. Telemedicine has significantly improved access to mental healthcare, according to Moffitt. In preventive care, more people are aware of the importance of cancer screenings, vaccines, wellness visits, and other preventive measures. Moffitt pointed to the rising use of home health visits and retail clinics as contributing factors for Aetna members. Looking ahead, Moffitt sees personalized engagement as the future of patient education. Members increasingly want information tailored to their preferences, delivered through their preferred channels—whether by email, text, phone, or other methods. Omnichannel solutions will be essential to meeting this demand, and while healthcare has already made progress, Moffitt expects even more innovation in the years to come. “I can’t predict exactly where we’ll be in 10 years, just as I couldn’t have predicted where we are now a decade ago,” Moffitt said. “But we will continue to evolve and meet the needs of our members with the technological advancements we’re committed to.” Contact UsTo discover how Salesforce can advance your patient payer education, contact Tectonic today.
