OPD
Opioid Module
The Pieces Opioid module helps health systems and outpatient
providers manage, track, support, and intervene with patients who struggle with
opioid addiction or misuse.
The toll of opioid misuse
Almost 450,000 people died from an overdose involving any opioid between
1999–2018, including prescription and illicit opioids. The U.S. opioid
overdose epidemic is a major public health crisis, and health systems across
the country are trying to develop new approaches, technologies and tools to
combat this situation. Apart from the significant toll on patients and their
loved ones, hospitals also struggle with readmissions and excess LOS
associated with opioid-related hospitalizations.
Pieces provides insights and guidance
Opioid-related admissions are associated with increased readmission and excess LOS. Addressing opioid misuse in a systematic way through program improvements and software reduces related readmissions and excess length of stay.
Real-time assessment
Pieces Predict reviews all the hospitalization and encounter data in real
time and assesses opioid use and misuse, dependence, risks, and prediction
for readmissions and avoidable utilization.
Activate approved pathways
Pieces activates institutionally-approved pathways to prevent relapse and
readmission, monitor key trends, and provide program insights for leaders at
the institution overseeing substance abuse pathways and efforts.
