Health Cloud in Lightning Experience

If you’ve been supporting Health Cloud use via the Salesforce Classic interface, delight your users by switching to the Lightning Experience. Use the Lightning Experience Transition Assistant as your control center for tackling the transition. From Setup in Salesforce Classic, click Get Started in the Transition Assistant tile at the top of the menu.

Available in: Lightning Experience

Available in: Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Health Cloud


When you enable the Health Cloud Lightning Experience Console, your users can access the console using the App Launcher. To turn on the Console, add the app to your org and assign users. Users with Health Cloud Standard or Health Cloud Admin permission sets can access the Health Cloud - Lightning Console app. You need the Health Cloud Admin permission set to access the Health Cloud - Lightning Admin app.

The Health Cloud console in Salesforce Classic is still here, and it’s easy for Lightning Experience users to move between the old and the new. So even if Lightning Experience isn’t a perfect fit yet, you and your users can try it on for size without losing out.
