SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 530
         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.
