Enhancements to Accenture Intelligent Patient
Platform will help deliver increased personalized patient
experience and care
Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has collaborated with Salesforce to extend
the capabilities of Salesforce Health Cloud, giving life sciences
companies and healthcare providers the ability to support more
informed patient decisions, help increase patient engagement across
their caregiver networks, and more efficiently and effectively
manage patient data.
The Accenture Intelligent Patient Platform now leverages the
Salesforce Health Cloud to provide complementary features such as
more connectivity to electronic health records for comprehensive
views of patient and patient care coordination with providers. The
Accenture Intelligent Patient Platform – which uses analytics to
help design more precise patient programs based on identified
requirements of unique patient segments through the full treatment
periods – is being used by several leading pharmaceutical
companies.
“Digitally-enabled life sciences and health companies will lead
the revolution in patient care and improving health outcomes,” said
Tom Schwenger, senior managing director, Accenture Life Sciences
North America. “This integration is a culmination of collaboration
by Salesforce Health Cloud and Accenture Intelligent Patient
Platform engineering teams. By integrating the Accenture
Intelligent Patient Platform with the Salesforce Health Cloud, we
will further help clients build stronger patient relationships and
a greater level of engagement, which will improve the industry
support for patient care.”
“Changing consumer expectations makes it imperative for care
providers to manage patient data and increase engagement in more
effective ways,” said Joshua Newman, MD, Chief Medical Officer, GM,
Salesforce Healthcare and Life Sciences, Salesforce. “Health Cloud
is all about building stronger patient relationships, and working
with Accenture is an essential part of our journey toward creating
a modern healthcare platform for patients, doctors and the extended
community involved in care.”

the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS)
Conference in Las Vegas this February. The Accenture Intelligent
