Your care team, powered by Salesforce Experience Cloud, unites people with professional and personal caregivers in a private collaborative network where they can access their care plans and tasks. The convenience of having the information on any device helps engage and empower your site members. - The care team view represents the relationships that make up the patient or member’s professional and personal network of caregivers. - For site members, select the person’s picture and do things like send a private message or create a task for them. - Collaborate with care team members using Chatter. Send private messages to a person and their caregivers, and collaborate with internal members of the team without leaving the person's original profile. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-health-264-0-0-production-enus/90a9f828-79ab-49cd-ac8c-86e58ef7478e/images/icon_note.png) Note Salesforce Experience Cloud provides the collaboration support for Health Cloud.

Each member plays an important role in maintaining the health and ensuring the progress of the patient. - **[Use the Chatter Feed to Collaborate with the Care Team](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.chatter_collab_tab.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** The Chatter feed on the Collaboration tab shows all the conversations with care team site members and activities related to the care plan. This Chatter feed is a more focused version of the What’s Happening feed on the Today page. Chatter feeds show you posts and comments you and other people make, as well as record updates that are associated with the care plan. - **[Send a Private Message to a Care Team Member](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.care_team_private_message.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Chatter messages let you have secure private conversations with other Chatter users who are also members of the care team. You can also use messages to notify people when a file has been shared with them. Messages don’t appear in your feed, your profile, global search results, or any other part of Chatter that’s publicly visible. #### See Also - [Elements of a Care Plan](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.care_plan_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A care plan consists of three major components: The case details, the care team, and the set of problems, goals, and tasks for that care plan.") - [Create a Care Plan](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.care_plan_creation.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A care plan is built on top of a case record, so you need a few details to create a case.
