Compare Provider Search and Legacy Provider Search

Winter ‘23 introduced a new version of Provider Search. Provider Search in existing customer orgs with Health Cloud versions before Winter ‘23 is now called Legacy Provider Search.

If you’re an existing customer who uses Provider Search (Legacy), we suggest that you upgrade now for the best performance and scalability. To upgrade, enable the new Provider Search.

Review these important considerations:

  • Provider Search shows as “Disabled” on the Provider Search Settings page for existing customers.
