The client, a nonprofit organization offering legal guardianship and case management for seniors, faced difficulties maintaining consistent records of client meetings. Manual note-taking and delayed follow-ups slowed internal collaboration and affected the quality and continuity of client care.
They needed an automated and centralized system within Salesforce to record meetings, track service preferences, and send real-time notifications to assigned social workers — improving visibility, coordination, and case oversight.
We built a custom Salesforce object, Care Plan Meeting, with fields to capture meeting dates, discussion topics, and follow-up actions — all linked to Contacts and Accounts for better visibility. Automated email alerts instantly notify social workers upon record creation, while historical meeting data remains easily accessible, ensuring transparency and continuity in client management.
- Meeting records were inconsistently maintained, making it difficult to review past interactions.
- Teams lacked visibility into prior meeting dates or selected care options.
- Manual communication workflows delayed updates to social workers.
- Fragmented data hindered a unified view of client care plans.
- Developed a Care Plan Meeting custom object accessible via a dedicated Salesforce tab.
- Configured fields to capture meeting dates, care topics, follow-ups, and service preferences.
