The Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation (PCCI), a health care analytics and
R&D organization based in Dallas, has developed an innovative model of community governance and cooperation to impact the health and welfare of the county’s residents. The Dallas Connected Community of Care is an entity that — working with community-based organizations, local government leaders, and health care providers in the Dallas metroplex — has been able to quickly assemble data to help identify hotspot neighborhood locations where the Covid-19 virus is having a disproportional impact on the residents, many of whom are poor and underserved. With that information, they have created targeted communications to improve containment efforts through community-wide awareness and education messaging. By connecting local CBOs and faith-based organizations with public health workers and clinicians, effective contact tracing and care plan development has been achieved for high-risk individuals.
