What is Health Cloud FHIR Data model?
Salesforce FHIR data model is available in Salesforce Health Cloud. Nevertheless, FHIR is a logical data paradigm that needs to be normalized into a relational model, requiring that its fields and resources be internally mapped to several Salesforce Objects.
As an illustration, “Encounter” FHIR resource attributes are saved and mapped to “Clinical Encounter” objects, while the patient and its name, language, phone number are kept as distinct objects. Any consumer application in this scenario that needs to send or receive data from Salesforce Health Cloud must first comprehend this data model in order to create integrations that translate these Salesforce objects into FHIR resources.
