- In the App Launcher, find and select Home Health.
- Go to the Accounts tab and open the patient’s record page.
- Go to the Preferences tab.
-
In the Care Service Preferences section, define the patient’s preferences for the assigned
care resource.
- To define preferences for all visit scenarios, specify the information in the default General Preferences subsection.
- To define preferences that are unique to specific service scenarios, add additional
subsections and then specify the preference. To add additional subsections, select a service
type from the Care Service Type field and click

The service types that you can add in the Care Service Preferences section depends on how your Salesforce admin configures service types in your org. If you need to add more types of preferences, ask you Salesforce admin for help.
NoteA patient's service type preferences override their general preferences. Home Health considers all the recorded preferences and assigns care resources to the patient based on their service type preferences.
- For each preference in the Care Service Preferences section, specify the preference order between 1 and 10. A lower value indicates higher importance. If you don’t enter a value, Home Health considers a preference order of 10.
- In the Care Resource Preferences section, add the care resources that the patient prefers, requires, and wants to avoid.
- In the Timing Preferences section, select an Operating Hours record that specifies the time slots that the patient is open to scheduling visits for.
- Save your changes.
