DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pieces Technologies, a pioneer in addressing social determinants of health, today announced that Maricopa Integrated Health System (MIHS), based in Phoenix, Arizona, has selected Pieces Technologies to launch a whole-person community care solution.
Under the multi-year agreement, Pieces Technologies will provide its cloud-based solutions Pieces Decision Sciences (DS), for inpatient clinical predictive modeling, and Pieces Iris, a community-based referral and case management platform.
MIHS selected Pieces Technologies due to the end-to-end solution that addresses social determinants of health throughout the patient journey, both within and outside the hospital. This whole-person approach to care leverages the health system as well as community partners, aiming to reduce readmissions, lower length of stay, and alert clinicians earlier to the threat of inpatient deterioration and healthcare associated infections.
“The Pieces solution can identify and surface unique needs of our patients that will allow us to adjust treatments accordingly,” said Anthony Dunnigan, M.D., Chief Medical Information Officer of Maricopa Integrated Health System. “Additionally, creating a shared data network of community partners will allow MIHS to improve access to services once a patient leaves the hospital. Being able to seamlessly refer patients to social service and other community agencies will allow us to offer additional ways for patients to remain on track with their wellness plan.”
“We are proud to partner with MIHS to introduce this whole-person community care solution to the broader Phoenix area,” said Ruben Amarasingham, M.D., President and CEO of Pieces Technologies. “We have seen huge success in leveraging advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and natural language processing, to assist safety net hospitals with improving outcomes in their vulnerable patient populations. Pieces Technologies brings unique technology solutions to health systems to improve workflows and free clinicians to focus more on patient care.”
