The Provider Relationship Management data model represents the practitioners, facilities, physician relationships, specialties, and organizational hierarchy for your network of providers. - Physician and organization affiliations, such as hospitals where the physician has attending or admitting privileges - Practicing locations and specialties offered by a practitioner at a location - Practice administrators for healthcare facilities - Operating hours for facilities or practitioner's hours at a particular facility - Specialty and taxonomy attributes of a practitioner or facility - National Provider Identifier (NPI) and other provider identifiers - Insurance payer and plan networks - Practitioner license, education, board certifications, awards, and accreditation information Provider information is also represented using existing standard Salesforce objects in addition to objects only available through Health Cloud and Life Sciences Cloud. - Account: Represents a healthcare facility or location. The account hierarchy represents the way the healthcare system is organized. Other companies, like billing companies for physicians or healthcare facilities are represented as accounts and connected to healthcare facilities or physicians using account-account or account-contact relationships. - Contact: Represents physicians and other licensed practitioners.
