Overview
Jiva is a care-management CRM designed for healthcare workflows — members, providers, authorization episodes, care plans, and clinical assessments stored in a HIPAA-bound schema. Pipedrive is a sales-focused CRM that organizes data around People, Organizations, Deals, and Activities with visual pipeline stages. The two platforms share basic entity concepts but diverge sharply on object purpose, field taxonomy, and workflow logic. We map Jiva member records to Pipedrive People, Jiva providers to Pipedrive Organizations, Jiva care episodes and authorizations to Pipedrive Deals (one Deal per episode with a custom Pipeline for care stages), and clinical custom fields to Pipedrive custom fields on the appropriate entity. Healthcare-specific fields — payer IDs, episode dates, authorization numbers, care plan flags — have no native Pipedrive equivalent and migrate as custom fields. What does not migrate: Jiva's HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, clinical assessment tools, care-plan builders, payer integrations, and clinical workflow automations. Those must be rebuilt on the care-management side using dedicated healthcare software. Pipedrive's automations and Sequences can be configured to reflect sales-style follow-up logic, but clinical escalation logic has no equivalent. Our migration pipeline uses Jiva's export API for members, providers, and episode records; activity logs and note attachments pull from Jiva's reporting exports. We deliver a schema-setup plan before data lands so Pipedrive custom fields and pipelines are ready for validation.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Jiva object lands in Pipedrive, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Jiva
Member
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Jiva Member records map directly to Pipedrive People. Each Member's name, contact details, date of birth, and member ID transfer as Person fields. Custom clinical fields on the Member record (diagnosis flags, care tier, payer ID) migrate as Pipedrive custom fields on the Person entity. Pipedrive's Person has no native HIPAA compliance model — this must be addressed outside the CRM for any protected health information.
Jiva
Member.associated_provider
Pipedrive
Person (linked via Organization)
1:1Jiva's provider-linked Member associations require a two-step map: the Provider becomes a Pipedrive Organization record first, then the Member becomes a Person linked to that Organization via the Person's Org relationship field. If a Member has multiple providers, the primary (most recently active) provider becomes the primary Organization; additional providers are linked via Pipedrive's secondary organization association.
Jiva
Provider
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Jiva Provider records (clinicians, facilities, care teams) map to Pipedrive Organizations. Provider name, specialty, NPI number, address, and contact information transfer to standard Organization fields. Custom fields for provider type (MD, NP, Facility, DME) and network status migrate as Pipedrive Organization custom fields. Provider-to-Member relationships are preserved as Person-Organization links.
Jiva
Care Episode
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Jiva Care Episodes are the primary object migrating to Pipedrive Deals. Each episode becomes one Deal, with the Member (Person) linked via the Deal's Person relationship. Episode status (Intake, Assessment, Authorization, Active Care, Discharge) maps to a dedicated Pipedrive Pipeline named 'Care Episodes' with matching stage names. Episode date fields (start date, authorization end date) transfer to Deal expected_close_date and custom date fields. Authorization number and payer information migrate as Deal custom fields.
Jiva
Care Episode.stage_history
Pipedrive
Deal.stage_history (custom)
1:1Jiva records the full stage-transition history of a care episode with timestamps. Pipedrive Deals natively track stage changes, but Jiva's custom stage timestamps (e.g., Assessment entered 2024-03-15 09:30) need preservation as custom datetime fields on the Deal (e.g., Intake_Entered__c, Assessment_Entered__c). We create these fields during schema setup and populate from Jiva's episode audit log.
Jiva
Authorization
Pipedrive
Deal (custom fields)
many:1Jiva Authorizations can exist as standalone records or as sub-records of a Care Episode. In Pipedrive, each Authorization's key fields — auth number, authorized units, utilization remaining, payer ID, authorization type — merge into the parent Deal's custom fields. If an Authorization is not linked to a specific episode, it becomes a standalone Deal in a separate 'Authorizations' Pipeline.
Jiva
Care Plan
Pipedrive
Note / Deal custom field
many:1Jiva Care Plans are complex clinical documents containing goals, interventions, and progress notes. We extract the care plan summary and goals list as a Pipedrive Note attached to the related Deal (episode), and key plan fields (plan type, review frequency, care manager assignment) as Deal custom fields. The full care-plan clinical document is exported as a file attachment and re-uploaded to the Deal's activity feed.
Jiva
Clinical Assessment / Screening
Pipedrive
Note / Activity / Deal custom fields
many:1Jiva clinical assessments (PHQ-9, SDOH screens, functional status) are stored as structured records. We map the assessment type, score, and date as custom fields on the related Deal. The assessment narrative and clinical notes migrate as a Pipedrive Note attached to the Deal. Long-form assessment responses are exported as files and attached to the Deal's activity feed.
Jiva
Care Team Member
Pipedrive
User (assigned owner)
1:1Jiva care team member assignments (Care Manager, Support Specialist, Authorizing Clinician) per episode map to Pipedrive Deal owner assignment. We resolve each Jiva care team member by email against Pipedrive users. Unmatched team members are flagged before migration; their records are assigned to a designated fallback Pipedrive user until new accounts are provisioned.
Jiva
Activity / Care Note
Pipedrive
Activity / Note
1:1Jiva care notes, clinical documentation timestamps, and communication logs map to Pipedrive Activities (tasks with type = 'call', 'meeting', or 'email') and Pipedrive Notes attached to the related Person or Deal. Original timestamps and assigned care-team owners are preserved. Large clinical note attachments are exported from Jiva's file store and re-uploaded as Deal or Person file attachments in Pipedrive.
Jiva
Custom Objects (Payer Configurations)
Pipedrive
Custom Fields / Organization custom fields
1:1Jiva payers, benefit configurations, and network tiers stored as custom objects in Jiva map to Pipedrive Organization custom fields on the provider Organization record. We create payer-specific custom fields (Payer_ID__c, Benefit_Tier__c, Network_Status__c) on the Organization entity and populate from Jiva's payer configuration records.

Migration approach
Jiva data export and deduplication audit
We connect to Jiva using your provided API credentials and export all standard objects — Members, Providers, Care Episodes, Authorizations, Care Plans, and Activities. During extraction, we run a deduplication pass on Members (matching by member_id, then by email, then by phone) to prevent duplicate Person records landing in Pipedrive. Duplicate Episodes for the same Member are flagged and consolidated per your specified rule (most recent status wins by default, or by your specified date logic). The export produces CSV extracts plus a file archive of care-plan documents and clinical attachments for bulk re-upload to Pipedrive.
Pipedrive schema setup — pipelines, stages, and custom fields
Before data migration begins, we deliver a Pipedrive schema setup plan specifying: (1) the Care Episodes Pipeline with stages matching Jiva episode statuses; (2) a separate Authorizations Pipeline if standalone auth records exist; (3) all custom fields on Person, Organization, and Deal entities with correct field types (picklist, text, number, datetime); (4) visibility groups aligned with Jiva care-team roles. Your Pipedrive admin creates the fields and pipelines, or our team creates them via Pipedrive API. Validation runs against a test environment before production migration to confirm stage names, picklist values, and field labels are correct.
Owner and user resolution
Jiva care team members (Care Managers, Support Specialists, Authorizing Clinicians) are resolved by email against Pipedrive user accounts. We run an owner-match report that shows: matched users (linked automatically), unmatched Jiva team members (flagged with no Pipedrive account), and the fallback assignment rule (default owner) for unresolved records. Your team provisions Pipedrive accounts for unmatched users before the full migration run. No Deal or Person record lands in Pipedrive without a resolved owner — this prevents orphaned records in Pipedrive's visibility-group model.
Sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–300 records migrates first — typically 50 Members, 20 Providers, 30 Care Episodes, and associated Activities and Care Plan notes. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Jiva values against destination Pipedrive values for every mapped field. You review the diff to confirm: episode stage mapping is correct, custom field values populated on the right entity, Care Plan notes attached to the correct Deal, and Person-Organization-Deal relationships resolved correctly. Approval of the sample diff triggers the full migration run. Any mapping corrections identified during the sample phase are applied before the full run.
Full migration run with delta-pickup and file re-upload
The full migration extracts all remaining Jiva records and loads them into Pipedrive via the Pipedrive API (for Person, Organization, Deal creation) and bulk file upload (for care-plan documents and clinical attachments). A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the full run captures any Jiva records modified during the migration window — new episodes started, status changes, or member updates. Care plan files are re-uploaded to their corresponding Pipedrive Deals and Person records. Audit log records every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies missing relationships or field-population failures. Post-migration, we deliver a reconciliation report showing record counts by entity, failed records with error reasons, and a Person-Deal relationship completeness score.
