Quick Take: Today’s health systems, pharmacies, and health plans are struggling to keep data secure while integrating digital capabilities that streamline the overall healthcare ecosystem. At the same time, patients and members are demanding additional hybrid care delivery options and greater levels of healthcare personalization.

Why it Matters: Salesforce works with some of the leading healthcare and life sciences companies in the world to deliver care from anywhere, new innovations that help organizations get closer to their patients, members, and customers in an always-on, digitally-enhanced healthcare system.

Health-E Commerce Delivers 2x Faster Page Load Speeds for Customers

With Salesforce, the company is enhancing the experience of its ecommerce brands: FSAstore.com, HSAstore.com and WellDeservedHealth.com. Removing the guesswork from healthcare spending and helping consumers get more value from their health benefit accounts is no easy task, but with Salesforce B2C Commerce and Salesforce Order Management, Health-E Commerce delivers a more flexible shopping experience through site features like product bundles, engaging educational content, and tools that help consumers manage their everyday health — and their healthcare dollars.
