Salesforce consulting for Health & Life Sciences

Healthcare and life sciences run on data, and the regulatory bar for handling that data correctly is the highest of any industry we serve. The organizations winning have built HIPAA-aware Salesforce implementations, deployed AI agents that respect PHI boundaries, and built care coordination platforms that actually work for patients and providers.

AI-augmented prior authorization

Claude-powered prior auth pre-screening, documentation assembly, and payer-specific workflow automation.

Common Challenges

What we see in health & life sciences.

The technology and process challenges that come up in nearly every engagement we run in this industry.

HIPAA-aware AI deployments

AI in healthcare can be transformative, but only with the right governance, data handling, and human-in-the-loop design. Generic AI deployments fail audits.

EHR integration that actually works

Epic, Cerner, Athena, every EHR integration is hard. The ones that work are intentionally architected, not glued together.

Care coordination across fragmented systems

Patients receive care across health systems, payers, specialty providers, and digital tools. Coordinating that effectively is hard.

Clinical trial recruitment and patient engagement

Life sciences companies need infrastructure for clinical trial recruitment, eligibility screening, consent management, and ongoing engagement.

Real-world evidence and post-market surveillance

Life sciences companies need to capture real-world evidence systematically, and most do not have the data infrastructure to do it.

Multi-payer claims and prior authorization friction

Provider organizations lose revenue to prior auth complexity. Better workflow and AI dramatically reduce write-offs.

Regulatory & Compliance Matters

What we navigate in health & life sciences.

Compliance is not a separate workstream, it is embedded in every workflow we deliver. The major frameworks we work within:

HIPAA / HITECH

PHI handling, minimum necessary access, audit logging, BAA management, and breach notification workflows.

21 CFR Part 11 (FDA Electronic Records)

Electronic records and signatures compliance for FDA-regulated workflows including clinical and quality systems.

Sunshine Act / Open Payments

HCP transfer-of-value tracking, aggregate spend reporting, and CMS submission workflows.

GxP (GCP, GLP, GMP)

Good Practice compliance for clinical, laboratory, and manufacturing operations with validated systems.

GDPR for Patient Data

EU patient data handling, lawful basis documentation, and cross-border transfer workflows.

EMA / FDA Submission Standards

Regulatory submission workflows, eCTD preparation, and inspection-readiness evidence.

Signature Service Categories

The major health & life sciences practices our team runs.

Each category represents a deep specialization with dedicated playbooks, accelerators, and experienced consultants.

Provider & Patient Engagement

Care coordination, patient engagement, member service, and provider portal infrastructure.

Clinical Trial & Research Operations

Trial recruitment, eligibility screening, patient engagement, and research operations platforms.

HCP & KOL Management

Salesforce + Veeva-style HCP engagement, Speaker Bureau, sample disposition, Sunshine Act compliance.

Payer & Revenue Cycle

Prior authorization, claims management, denials management, and revenue cycle automation.

FAQ

Salesforce for health & life sciences: common questions.

Which Salesforce cloud fits a healthcare or life sciences organization?

Health Cloud is designed for patient and member relationships, care coordination and provider networks, making it the usual fit for providers and payers. Life sciences companies often need Service Cloud for patient support programs and inquiries, with Experience Cloud for patient or partner portals. Some organizations start on Service Cloud and add Health Cloud later. We choose based on whether your core record is a patient, a member, a healthcare professional or a commercial customer.

How should Salesforce connect to an EHR?

EHR integration should move only the clinical and scheduling data the Salesforce workflow actually uses. Most modern integrations rely on FHIR APIs, with HL7 feeds still common for older systems, and middleware such as MuleSoft managing transformation and error handling. We agree with clinical and compliance stakeholders on the minimum data set before building, since pulling a full chart into the CRM expands risk without improving care coordination.

What HIPAA considerations apply to Salesforce and AI?

If you are a covered entity or business associate storing protected health information in Salesforce, you need a business associate agreement with Salesforce and should confirm which services it covers. Configuration matters as much as the contract: minimum necessary access, encryption, audit logging, and Salesforce Shield where appropriate. AI features need the same review, including whether PHI can reach a given model. Your privacy officer should confirm scope, since this is a consideration list rather than legal advice.

Can AI agents handle patient or customer support safely?

Yes, when the agent's scope is narrow and escalation to a person is clear. Good early candidates are scheduling, order and shipment questions, and product information drawn from approved knowledge articles. A biotech company we worked with used Service Cloud and Agentforce, and the AI agent produced send-ready draft responses for 30% of question-type cases. Clinical questions and adverse event reports should route to qualified staff, never to the agent alone.
