Overview
The Clinic Place stores patient demographics, clinical notes, appointment schedules, provider assignments, insurance records, and billing data in a flat or loosely relational structure designed for single-clinic or multi-location medical practices. Salesforce Sales Cloud stores contacts, accounts, events, tasks, and custom objects in a normalized relational model that enforces foreign-key relationships via AccountId lookups and requires RecordTypeId for variant page layouts. The migration maps Patient records to Salesforce Contacts with a pseudo-Account strategy (each patient becomes a Contact with a stub Account), appointment slots to Salesforce Events with custom status fields, providers to Contacts with a Provider__c custom field, diagnoses and prescriptions to custom objects, and insurance/billing records to custom objects. Custom fields are created with the __c suffix convention in Salesforce. The source data extracts via The Clinic Place API (or CSV export for smaller setups) and loads into Salesforce via Bulk API, respecting API rate limits of 100,000 daily requests plus 1,000 per user license. Workflows, notification templates, and billing rules in The Clinic Place do not have a Salesforce equivalent and must be rebuilt using Salesforce Flow, email alerts, and Salesforce Billing or a third-party billing integration post-migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a The Clinic Place object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
The Clinic Place
Patient
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact + Account
1:1The Clinic Place Patient records map to Salesforce Contacts with a stub Account created per patient (person-account model not used by default). The pseudo-Account holds demographic data that would otherwise sit on an Organization-level Account, allowing each patient to have their own Account parent. Primary insurance stored on a custom Insurance__c object linked to Contact.
The Clinic Place
Appointment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Event
1:1Appointment date, time, duration, status, and room/queue fields map to Salesforce Event StartDateTime, EndDateTime, Status__c (custom pick-list), and Location fields. The ContactId on Event links to the patient. Provider (WhoId) links to the provider Contact record. Appointment type stored as Event Type or a custom Type__c pick-list.
The Clinic Place
Provider
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Provider records with name, specialty, license number, and credentials migrate as Salesforce Contacts with a custom Provider__c checkbox set to true and a Specialty__c custom pick-list preserving the specialty value. Provider-to-appointment linking uses the WhoId on the Event object. User licenses are assigned separately if the provider will use Salesforce as a CRM user.
The Clinic Place
Diagnosis / Problem List
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Diagnosis__c (custom object)
1:1The Clinic Place diagnoses have ICD codes, description, onset date, and status. Migrated as a custom object Diagnosis__c with a lookup to Contact. Fields include DiagnosisCode__c (text), Description__c, OnsetDate__c, Status__c (Active/Resolved), and SourceSystemID__c for traceability. ICD-10 code format preserved as text.
The Clinic Place
Prescription / Medication
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Prescription__c (custom object)
1:1Prescription records are migrated into a custom Prescription__c object linked to the patient Contact. The object includes MedicationName__c, Dosage__c (with unit), Frequency__c, PrescribingProvider__c (a Contact lookup to the provider), StartDate__c, EndDate__c, RefillsRemaining__c, and a Status__c pick-list that distinguishes Active versus Inactive prescriptions. Each prescription preserves the source system ID for traceability and allows reporting on medication adherence and refill schedules within Salesforce.
The Clinic Place
Clinical Note / Chart Note
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentNote + ClinicalNote__c (custom object)
1:1Free-text clinical notes from The Clinic Place are converted to Salesforce ContentNote (the modern rich-text note object). For structured chart note fields, a custom ClinicalNote__c object stores NoteType__c, NoteDate__c, CreatedBy__c (provider Contact lookup), and a ContentNoteId__c linking back to the rich text body. Rich text formatting is preserved; embedded images are downloaded and attached as Salesforce Files.
The Clinic Place
Insurance Record
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Insurance__c (custom object)
1:1Insurance carrier, policy number, group number, subscriber relationship, coverage start and end dates, and termination status migrate as a custom Insurance__c object linked to the patient Contact. Fields include CarrierName__c, PolicyNumber__c, GroupNumber__c, SubscriberRelationship__c (Self/Spouse/Child/Other), CoverageStart__c, CoverageEnd__c, SourceSystemID__c, and a Status__c pick-list that reflects Active versus Terminated coverage. The object enables your team to query coverage eligibility, track renewal dates, and integrate with verification workflows directly in Salesforce.
The Clinic Place
Invoice / Billing Record
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Invoice__c (custom object) + Opportunity
1:1Outstanding balances and billing history migrate as a custom Invoice__c object with a Contact lookup. For practices that bill per encounter or procedure, Encounter__c records can link to Opportunities representing revenue events. Salesforce Billing (a separate paid product) handles invoicing workflows post-migration; historical invoice data is preserved in Invoice__c for reference.
The Clinic Place
Document / Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument / Salesforce Files
1:1File attachments stored in The Clinic Place — such as consent forms, imaging referrals, and lab results — are downloaded and re-uploaded as Salesforce Files (ContentDocument/ContentVersion model). Linked to the relevant Contact record via ContentDocumentLink. File size limits of 25MB per Salesforce file apply.
The Clinic Place
Custom Fields / Extended Properties
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields (__c) on respective objects
1:1Any custom fields defined in The Clinic Place that do not map to standard Salesforce fields are created as custom fields (suffix __c) on the appropriate object. Each custom field requires a data type decision (text, pick-list, date, number) and value mapping where the source pick-list values differ from Salesforce pick-list values. A field mapping plan is delivered before migration runs.

Migration approach
Audit The Clinic Place data and configure Salesforce custom objects
We extract a full data inventory from The Clinic Place — patient count, appointment volume, provider records, insurance entries, invoice history, and custom fields — to scope the migration. Based on the inventory, we create Salesforce custom objects (Diagnosis__c, Prescription__c, Insurance__c, Invoice__c, ClinicalNote__c) with all required custom fields, pick-list values, and lookups to Contact. We also create stub Accounts for each patient and set sharing rules so patient Account records are scoped to the care team. This step produces a schema setup plan for your Salesforce admin to review before any data moves.
Resolve provider-to-Contact and provider-to-User mappings
We match The Clinic Place provider records to Salesforce Contacts by email (or by name if email is absent). For each provider with a Salesforce User license, we store the UserId alongside the ContactId so Event OwnerId resolves correctly. Providers without a Salesforce User license are flagged — your team decides whether to create User records for them or accept that their appointments will link to Contact records without calendar visibility. No appointment data moves until provider resolution is confirmed.
Migrate patient demographics, providers, and insurance records first
Patient Contact records with their stub Accounts, provider Contact records, and Insurance__c records migrate before any appointment data. This establishes the foreign-key graph so appointments (which link via ContactId) resolve correctly on insertion. Insurance records link to the patient Contact via a lookup field. We use Bulk API 2.0 for high-volume inserts, respecting Salesforce's daily API limit of 100,000 requests plus 1,000 per user license. Original creation timestamps are preserved as custom datetime fields since Salesforce CreatedDate reflects migration time.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff on 50–100 records
A representative slice — 50–100 patients spanning the date range of your data, 5–10 providers, 200–500 appointments, and a mix of diagnoses, prescriptions, and invoices — migrates to a Salesforce sandbox or scratch org first. We generate a field-level diff report showing source value vs. destination value for every mapped field. You review the diff to confirm appointment status mapping, diagnosis ICD code accuracy, and invoice balance calculations. No full run commits until you sign off on the sample diff.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full data set migrates using Bulk API with batch sizes tuned to your volume. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) runs after the primary migration, capturing any records created or modified in The Clinic Place during the cutover window. Every operation is logged in an audit table referencing SourceSystemID__c. If reconciliation finds discrepancies, one-click rollback reverts the Salesforce org to its pre-migration state. After rollback validation, the final data set is committed and your team goes live in Salesforce.
