Census CRM vs Salesforce Health Cloud

Census CRM is a web-based customer relationship system for addiction treatment and behavioral health admissions teams. Its workflow uses Qualification, Approval, and Commitment stages, with a 14-step guided qualification process that branches dynamically and screens for substance, mental-health, and safety factors. Benefits are verified in real time and classified as HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW risk. Facility matching considers level of care, bed availability, insurance acceptance, exclusions, and specialty programs. Listed connections include CallRail, CTM, Twilio, Google Ads, Meta Ads, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Kipu, and Sunwave. Census CRM sends admission records to EMR systems such as Kipu and Sunwave but does not perform clinical charting. Security includes encryption, audit logging, session timeout, reauthentication, and five role-based access levels. The company states HIPAA compliance and 42 CFR Part 2 compliance. Pricing is on request, with a scoped onboarding fee for implementation, migration, and training.

Salesforce Health Cloud brings clinical and nonclinical data together to support care collaboration, personalized care, and automated health operations. It combines clinical records with other patient information to create an actionable view alongside an electronic health record (EHR); Salesforce describes it as a layer for engagement, data aggregation, and collaboration that extends an EHR. Integrated Care Management supports whole-person care with flexible care plans and AI-powered assessment suggestions. Provider workflows cover patient access, referrals, scheduling, outreach, and coordination. Home Health adds automated scheduling, mobile offline assessments, and medication management. Health Cloud supports bidirectional data flow through FHIR APIs and pre-built integrations, and Salesforce says it integrates with all major EHRs to activate data in real time. Salesforce states that Health Cloud is HIPAA compliant and lists standards including HIPAA, HL7 FHIR, HITRUST, FedRAMP, GDPR, and NHS DCB 0129. Salesforce says patient data is not used to train public models and describes guardrails and human-in-the-loop controls for governed AI. Plans start at $350/user/mo, billed annually; a 30-day trial is available.
