Salesforce Patient 360: Benefits and Features [2025/2026]
Data is the most valuable asset in any digital transformation and the most frequent point of failure. Healthcare isn’t just about treating symptoms anymore, it’s more about understanding the person behind the patient ID. Healthcare business leaders are now rebuilding their digital foundation from disjointed systems to unified platforms.
According to the latest analysis by European Journal of Biomedical and Scientific Research, healthcare organizations implementing comprehensive data integration across systems achieved 26.5% reduction in 30-day hospital re-admissions for congestive heart failure patients. This integration enhanced overall patient management through effective care coordination and proactive interventions.
Do you ever wonder why your patient engagement feels disconnected or why your strategy isn’t driving outcomes? You’re not alone.
There’s a smart way to fix it.
Below, we’re going to cover how Salesforce Patient 360 is transforming healthcare delivery from data centralization and predictive personalization to enterprise level scalability and privacy.
Let’s have a full look at its features and benefits for real-world impact.
