Developed by Persistent Systems, in collaboration with numerous providers since 2014, this mobile-enabled Fullforce Solution built on the Salesforce platform enables healthcare providers to fill critical gaps in patient acquisition, referral, engagement, care transition, coordination and discharge. By providing an agility layer around existing and siloed EMRs and related applications, disparate processes and traditionally siloed data, this suite of accelerators is a significant step in driving unified physician-provider-patient engagement and care transition.

The power of digital is transforming the relationship between patients and healthcare providers, as Father Martin's Ashley, a national leader in the treatment of alcoholism and chemical dependence, is demonstrating.

"Our mission at Father Martin's Ashley is to care for the whole person, and to that end we knew we needed a more holistic view into all the services we're providing our patients. Our goal was to tie in referrals, admissions, and wellness to provide better and more efficient treatment. Updating legacy systems wasn't the answer, going digital was clearly the way for us," says Peter Bilsky, CIO, Father Martin's Ashley.  "Working with Persistent to deploy their healthcare accelerator suite on Salesforce across our teams we're now able to bring together campaign management, marketing KPI dashboards, referral management and CRM functionality in one place.  This allows us to significantly improve our outreach to prospective patients and families, streamline onboarding and improve the effectiveness of our readmissions and wellness programs so that our patients can live productive, healthy and happy lives."

Salesforce [NYSE: CRM] recently named Persistent Systems to its ecosystem of partners supporting the development and deployment of Salesforce Health Cloud. The next release of Persistent Physician & Patient Relationship Management Fullforce Solution will be extended to leverage the new capabilities in Salesforce Health Cloud.
