Dynamics 365 Education
The solution design is a culmination of conversations we’ve had with higher education customers. We want schools with little or no experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform and those already familiar with the platform to accelerate an education-specific build to rapidly deploy a relevant and robust industry template.
Once a school has procured an instance of Dynamics 365, they can install the Higher Education Accelerator/solution into that instance. This will transform a commercial look/feel experience into one specifically built for higher education as well as enabling schools to quickly build PowerApps and Power BI visualizations. The solution includes entities, fields, forms, views, and dashboards. Higher education institutions can utilize the Accelerator to build their business processes on top of the entities that are provided within the design.
In today’s blog, we want to review the contents of the first version of the Higher Education Accelerator. The design is very student-focused and provides a way to have a single view into a vast amount of details about the students.
Dynamics 365 Healthcare Accelerator
Health Care Solution Components
The health care solution consists of several OOB features.

Patient/Practitioner 360
The ability to see EMR data directly within a patient or practitioner-specific form in Dynamics. The data model has been built to allow for Appointment, Procedure, Medication, and other patient/practitioner data can be seen directly in context in an extremely user-friendly interface.
Site Map Extensions
With the Dynamics Health 365 Accelerator plugged in to the Dynamics 365 platform, you can optimize various aspects of care coordination, segment patients & provider based on EMR data as well as manage the care continuum of all patients leveraging the entire customer engagement solution within Dynamics 365.
Dynamics Health 365 adds another layer to the rich feature set in the base Dynamics 365 functionality by adding a new ribbon to help manage the special needs of your health organization. This ribbon contains entities to record patient data, appointments, procedures, nutrition orders, Care Plans, and a multitude of other functions.
Patient/Provider Timeline
Included with the Dynamics Health 365 Accelerator is a built-in patient/provider timeline which displays a sequential view of all activities that have occurred with the patient or provider. The timeline provides the ability to scale leveraging a slider and allows for the user to interact with data directly within the timeline.
Healthcare Entities
The accelerator provides a specific set of primary entities in support of the FHIR HL7 specification. Below are the entities that have been provided in the solution.
- Patients
- Practitioners
- Organizations
- Devices
- Locations
- Healthcare Services
- Care Plans
- Allergy Intolerances
- Clinical Impression Problems
- Risk Assessments
- Observations
- Specimens
- Encounters
- Episodes of care
- Medications
- Medication Requests
- Medication Administration
Care Team Viewer
A clear view into who is responsible for the various facets of care within a patient’s care team is paramount. Therefore, within the Dynamics Health 365 Accelerator there is a clear and concise care team viewer that allows users to have a visual of who’s responsible for the patient’s care.
Healthcare Workflows
The following represent the workflows that have been released at this time
- Tasks
- Appointments (EMR)
- Procedures
- Nutrition Orders
- Referral Requests
Healthcare Accelerator and Model Driven Power Apps
In the mobile-first, cloud-first world of today, being able to view/create EMR data in a mobile interface is something that has escaped the innovations of many providers today. Those days are now over with the introduction of model-driven apps within Dynamics 365. The Dynamics 365 Health Accelerator Solution contains a pre-built app that will fit the form factor of any phone or tablet to provider a seamless user-experience regardless of device.
Below is an example of a model driven Power App, built from the Healthcare Accelerator
Accelerator Forms
As mentioned the Dynamics 365 Health Accelerator utilizes out-of-the-box CRM entities along with customized entities to provide this new functionality. Below are some examples of some OOB forms and views which have been created to demonstrate these entities.
