Pieces joins the Epic App Orchard to expand reach of its community-based case management software

Pieces, a healthcare AI company, announced that their community referral and case management software, Pieces Connect, is now available in the Epic App Orchard. Pieces Connect connects healthcare organizations with community groups that support vulnerable populations, so patients get the care they need beyond the clinical setting.

“As a physician who has used Epic extensively to care for my patients, I know personally that Epic is one of the great EHR systems in healthcare today. I’m thrilled that we are taking our integration with Epic to the next level by offering our Pieces Connect platform in their App Orchard for a seamless provider and patient experience,” said Ruben Amarasingham, MD, Founder and CEO of Pieces.

The addition of Pieces Connect to the App Orchard benefits health systems by integrating the ability to address social-determinants-of-health needs within the EHR and the provider workflow. Our cloud-based software also helps nonprofits better manage and track their clients as they receive social services across a community, and can fulfill the reporting requirements needed by these organizations to support grant funding.

“I am incredibly pleased that our Pieces Connect platform will now be available on the App Orchard. It was an integral part of our roadmap to ensure continuing evolution of our customer experience,” said Fayiaz Chaudhri, President of Pieces. “As we continue our rapid expansion across the country, I am delighted that we will be leading the way with an unmatched product and now an enhanced customer experience.”

The Pieces Connect app allows users to search across a comprehensive and curated community-based organization resource directory and dynamically refer patients to support and manage unmet social needs. Care coordinators can share referral information with patients via email or printed, customized lists, and monitor community referral activity, supporting whole person care and managing social determinants of health, directly within Epic.
