Set Up Person Accounts to Represent People in Life Sciences Cloud

Person accounts store information about specific people by combining certain account and contact fields into a single record. In Life Sciences Cloud, always model your patients or members as person accounts. You can’t fully use Life Sciences Cloud functionality if you don’t model your patients and members as person accounts.

• Enable Contacts to Relate to Multiple Accounts
  Relate a single contact to multiple accounts so you can easily track the relationships between people and organizations.
• Enable Person Accounts for Use in Life Sciences Cloud
  Enable person accounts so that you can use them to represent patients and members in your Life Sciences Cloud org.
• Create Page Layouts and Record Types for People and Organizations
  Create page layouts and assign them to different record types to hold data for the different types of organizations and people that your organization interacts with. For example, create separate business account record types with different page layouts for pharmacies, payers, and healthcare provider organizations.
