Organization administrators can use this article to deploy Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare solutions powered by Dynamics 365. At the end of this deployment process, one or more of the following healthcare solutions or apps are installed in your environment:

During the deployment process, you can configure more capabilities.

Prerequisites

  • You must be a Microsoft Power Platform admin or a tenant admin to deploy the Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare solutions powered by Dynamics 365.

  • You must have licenses for Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare and various Dynamics 365 apps, which depends on the solution to be deployed. If you're missing any licenses, you'll be notified during the deployment process. More information: Licensing

  • Learn more in Compliance in Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare and ensure you use services that match your requirements.

Step 1: Prepare environment

The Dynamics 365 healthcare solutions are deployed to a Microsoft Dataverse environment with a database.

Important

The Dynamics 365 healthcare solutions in Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare can only be deployed to a Microsoft Dataverse environment that is created in one of the following Dataverse regions: Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, France, Germany, Great Britain, United States. The solutions are only available in the following languages: Dutch, English, French, and German.

We recommend that you select all languages that you want to make available during your first installation. If you want to enable another language after you've already installed, you'll need to contact Support.

If you enable multiple languages and you're using Patient access, you'll need to follow the instructions in Enable multiple-language portal support.

In addition to a Dataverse environment with a database, following are the Dynamics 365 apps and Power Apps features required for deploying the healthcare solutions and capabilities:

Solution Dependencies
Patient access Power Pages
Dynamics 365 Customer Service
Patient service center Dynamics 365 Customer Service
Digital Messaging add-on for Dynamics 365 Customer Service
Patient outreach Dynamics 365 Marketing
Patient insight cards Dynamics 365 Sales Premium
Care management Dynamics 365 Customer Service*
Home health Dynamics 365 Field Service
Data integration toolkit Microsoft Power Apps
Unified patient view Microsoft Power Apps
Patient trends (preview) Microsoft Power Apps
Dynamics 365 Customer Insights
Patient population dashboard (preview) Power BI
Provider data model Microsoft Power Apps
Payor data model (preview) Microsoft Power Apps

*Dataverse, Power Apps, and Power Automate prerequisites are included in the Dynamics 365 dependency offering.

Note

Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare includes the Provider and Payor (preview) data models. You can also deploy the data models as standalone solutions to build your own application.

A Dataverse environment is a prerequisite to using the data models.

Note

Before installing the Patient access solution, ensure that the target environment has only one portal of Customer self-service type. Otherwise, installing the Patient access solution can lead to unintended behavior and overwrite other portals in the environment. You must also ensure that you don't create additional portals in the target environment after deploying the Patient access solution.

If you don't have a Dataverse environment with a database, you need to create one. Although you can choose to create a Dataverse environment while deploying a healthcare solution, we recommend you create it before installing a solution to install the prerequisite Dynamics 365 apps and solutions.

  1. Sign in to Power Platform admin center.

  2. Create a Dataverse environment with a database. For more information, go to Create an environment with a database>

    If you're planning to deploy Home health or Patient service center, you must select Yes in the Enable Dynamics 365 apps option and choose appropriately. Dynamics 365 Field Service is required for Home health, and Dynamics 365 Customer Service is required for Patient service center.

  3. You can access your environment by using the following URL, https://[myenv].crm.dynamics.com, where [myenv] is the name of your environment.

  4. You can now install other dependencies, as mentioned earlier.

Step 2: Deploy healthcare solutions

To deploy healthcare solutions, use the Microsoft Cloud Solution Center.

  1. Sign in to Microsoft Cloud Solution Center. You can also access it using one of the following options:

    • Select the link in the email you received from Microsoft after buying the Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare license.
    • From the Microsoft 365 admin center, select the Healthcare collection under setup and the action called Enable healthcare solutions powered by Dynamics 365.
  2. In the Microsoft Cloud Solution Center, you can select Support in the left pane to open the Help + Support experience in the Power Platform admin center, where your organization admin can get self-help solutions in real time for their issue.

    On the Home page, select the Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare tile to get started with the deployment, or you can select Solutions > Healthcare in the left pane.

  3. On the Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare page, you can see a list of capabilities.

    Select capability.

    For each capability, you can:

    • Select Quick view to learn more about the component and its dependencies.
    • Select the card to view and deploy solutions.
  4. On the Healthcare solutions page, you can see a list of available solutions to deploy.

    Select solutions to deploy.

    On this page, you can:

    • Select All in the Filter by capability dropdown to view all available solutions.
    • Select Add all Healthcare solutions to deploy all solutions.
    • Select Quick view to learn more about the component and its dependencies.
    • Select Add to select one or more solutions for deployment.

    For Virtual visits and Azure Health Data Services, select Go to setup to visit the Microsoft 365 admin center to continue with the setup. More information: Use the Microsoft 365 admin center for setup

  5. After selecting the required solutions to deploy, select Deploy in the upper-right corner to deploy them.

  6. The Select destination page allows you to select the destination environment for deployment or create an environment.

    • If you already created an environment, select it from the list.
    • Otherwise, select Create new to create an environment using the Power Platform admin center, and then come back to the Solution Center to select it. More information: Create an environment in the Power Platform admin center

    Select destination environment.
