In Salesforce Health Cloud, the Remote Monitoring capability enables healthcare providers to capture and analyze patient-generated health data (from devices such as glucose monitors, blood pressure cuffs, or fitness trackers).
To implement this functionality, the following records must be populated:
Units of Measure -- Defines the measurement units (e.g., mmHg, bpm, mg/dL) for device readings.
Remote Monitoring Device Types -- Represents the categories of patient devices (e.g., heart rate monitor, glucose meter).
Care Observations -- Stores the actual readings (vital signs, measurements) coming from the devices.
Code Sets -- Provides standardized medical coding (e.g., LOINC, SNOMED, ICD) for interoperability and classification of device data.
Together, these records form the Remote Monitoring data model.
Why not the others?
B . Units of Measure, Code Sets, Remote Monitoring Device Types, Care Episodes
Care Episodes are for tracking episodes of care, not device data.
C . Code Sets, Units of Measure, Care Metric Targets, Care Observations
Care Metric Targets are for goal setting, not required for capturing device data.
D . Code Sets, Biometrics, Care Observations, Chart Metrics
'Biometrics' and 'Chart Metrics' are not the correct Health Cloud objects for Remote Monitoring; instead, Remote Monitoring Device Types + Care Observations are used.
Salesforce Health Cloud Reference:
Salesforce Health Cloud -- Remote Patient Monitoring:
''Use Remote Monitoring Device Types, Units of Measure, Code Sets, and Care Observations to capture and store data from connected health devices.''
