Healthcare
The healthcare industry needs to make swift changes moving forward to retain patients and improve access to care. Here are a few examples of organizations that did just that to stay on top.
Developing a Secure Patient Intake Process
When tech consultant Michelle’s healthcare client needed to create a digital patient intake process on a tight deadline, the Soliant Consulting team turned to Formstack’s out-of-the box solution. The client needed a completely digital patient onboarding process. With Formstack for Salesforce, they created a HIPAA compliant process to securely collect patient data, route it to the appropriate back office staff, and automatically generate consent documents.

Simplifying Supply Chain Planning and Product Feedback
Bentley, a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of innovative implants for minimally-invasive treatments of vascular diseases, was using manual data collection to manage their yearly forecasting and product feedback processes. But with Formstack for Salesforce, they digitized their forecasting, resulting in processes that can now be completed in minutes instead of hours or days. Plus, with that added time they gained, Bentley predicts they’ll expand their processes to include over 70 partners worldwide across 80 countries.
Fast-Tracking Course Registrations in Salesforce

Launching a Digital Certification Process
Penrod, a Salesforce consulting agency, had a client—a community hospital—come to them for help creating a digital certification process.
