| WHEREAS, For 10 years, the Parkland Center for Clinical | ||
| Innovation has worked to improve health outcomes and elevate the | ||
| quality of patient care at Parkland Health; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Founded on May 14, 2012, PCCI supports the mission | ||
| of Parkland Health to address the health care needs of vulnerable | ||
| communities through the application of data and technology; the | ||
| center employs a diverse, multidisciplinary team of clinicians, | ||
| informaticists, data analysts, and health services researchers, | ||
| who combine their expertise in advanced mathematics, computer | ||
| science, and clinical science to uncover opportunities to | ||
| optimize and increase the efficiency of the health care system; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, From its inception, the not-for-profit | ||
| organization has performed analyses on health care inequity in | ||
| order to empower Parkland and other partners to make clinical | ||
| decisions for the benefit of those who need care the most; by | ||
| working with Medicaid payers and safety-net providers, the | ||
| organization has been instrumental in developing actionable | ||
| strategies for fighting COVID-19, preventing pre-term births, | ||
| and helping children manage asthma, while further leveraging its | ||
| data resources to resolve other public health issues impacting | ||
| Dallas County; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In addition to working to improve the delivery of | ||
| health care within the Parkland system, PCCI has collaborated | ||
| with philanthropic foundations, federal agencies, rural and | ||
| urban health systems, local municipalities, and other | ||
| organizations; one of its major partnerships resulted in the | ||
| creation of the COVID-19 Proximity and Vulnerability Indices, | ||
| which have assisted county health leaders in determining where to | ||
| allocate resources for COVID-19 testing and vaccinations; PCCI | ||
| has also extensively studied social, environmental, and economic | ||
| factors in developing its Connected Communities of Care model for | ||
| the purpose of facilitating collaboration between health | ||
| systems, municipalities, and local organizations to better serve | ||
| a community's most vulnerable residents; to date, PCCI's work has | ||
| impacted the lives of more than two million patients and resulted | ||
| in around $76.3 million in savings for patients and medical | ||
| providers; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Throughout its first decade of service, the | ||
| Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation has demonstrated the | ||
| potential of technology to shape the future of medicine and build | ||
| more equitable and inclusive health care systems, and it is | ||
| fitting to recognize PCCI's significant contributions to the | ||
| health and well-being of Texans in Dallas County and beyond; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby honor the Parkland Center for Clinical | ||
| Innovation on the occasion of its 10th anniversary and extend to | ||
| all those affiliated with the organization sincere best wishes | ||
| for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for PCCI as an expression of high regard from the Texas | ||
| Senate. | ||
| Johnson, Parker | ||
