Amazon’s cloud-computing platform will help Dallas-based Pieces expand the use of its AI-generated clinical handoff tool, according to a May 18 Pieces news release. As part of the global health program, Amazon Web Services offer credits and technical expertise to companies that promise to address health inequities.

Pieces uses natural language generation to summarize patients’ hospital care to improve clinical handoffs. According to The Joint Commission, about 80 percent of serious medical errors involve miscommunication when patients are transferred from one provider to another.

The company said standardizing communication can reduce bias and errors, leading to more equitable healthcare delivery.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
