Piedmont’s Empowering You

Now accessible systemwide, our new social care platform, Empowering You, empowers our teams to drive real change in the health outcomes of our communities by addressing barriers to health care.

These barriers, also known as social determinants of health (SDoH), include income, employment, food security, housing quality and stability, transportation, education, and social and community life. Empowering You increases the coordination of care and staff collaboration across Piedmont while connecting our patients and providers to reduced-cost and free community services and programs.

Below, learn more about the tool and how you can help support this important effort on behalf of our employees.

  • Patients can anonymously access the Empowering You tool via piedmont.org/empoweringyou and Piedmont MyChart. There, patients can enter their zip code and be provided with community resources that are close to home.
  • Use the SDoH assessment tool in Epic to screen patients for social needs and connect them to community resources using Empowering You if you identify any barriers.
  • Note: Piedmont Augusta will have access via their Epic integration in November 2023.
  • You now have a social network tool that provides coordinated, easy access built into your Epic workflows and addresses the community barriers to health care. Piedmont’s broader group of providers, clinicians, and staff can access these tools, as we never know when an acute patient social need may arise.
