The public safety-net health system will use healthcare AI company Pieces Technologies’ EHR-integrated software to automate such tasks as progress notes, discharge summaries and utilization-management reviews.

“Pieces’ AI-powered solutions will help MetroHealth enhance patient care and improve access by reducing inefficiencies and eliminating time-consuming administrative tasks, allowing our talented caregivers to work at the top of their licenses and provide more personalized care to more patients,” said R. Douglas Bruce, MD, interim executive vice president and COO of MetroHealth, in an April 30 news release.

MetroHealth and Pieces are also partnering on a research project, funded by the National Cancer Institute and National Institutes of Health, to study how conversational AI can strengthen care for cancer patients.
