Appreciate PCICs engagement and willingness to address issues as they occur, especially as it relates to our partners and their ability to send referrals in a simplified manner. It was also very beneficial to have PCIC contribute to our mission by participating in our annual summit that helped convey our work to other organizations in the community.

Harris Health’s Multi Visit Patient Initiative has had a flourishing relationship with PCIC for years now. Through our data sharing we have been able to coordinate the Greater Houston Multi Visit Patient Collaborative where Harris Health and Houston Methodist have been able to share data on shared patients to coordinate care and develop individualized care pathways for some of our mutual highest utilizing patients.

Now moving into 2025 we are excited to begin expanding our data sharing with two other of the largest health systems in the Houston area in order to continue building out best practices and serving our patients at the highest level. All of this could not be done without the awesome analysts and team at PCIC and we look forward to continued success in the years to come.

As the lead agency of our homeless response system, CFTH deeply values our collaboration with the Patient Care Intervention Center, PCIC. Your work in developing the interactive dashboard has been critical in aligning with HUD's and our local emphasis on data-driven decision-making by providing key insights into client risk indicators from other systems of care.

This partnership strengthens our collective ability to address homelessness comprehensively by integrating cross-sector data to prioritize housing resources effectively. We are particularly excited about the opportunity to incorporate client-level data, which will not only enhance housing prioritization but also improve system performance measures and ensure equitable outcomes for those we serve.

Partnering with the Patient Care Intervention Center (PCIC) is invaluable to the Texas Southern University Social Work Department, as it provides our students with hands-on opportunities to apply their knowledge and develop essential skills in real-world settings.

This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to fostering future social work leaders who are equipped to address the needs of diverse communities. Together, we are cultivating a new generation of change agents dedicated to improving lives and advancing social justice.

PCIC has been integral in the analysis of substance use data in the Harris County community. PCIC’s access to social and clinical records has allowed us to identify priority populations and visualize the impact of the social determinants of health on substance use behaviors.

Working with Betty Gai has been a pleasure. She can explain complex data simply to both researchers and non-researchers.

The PCIC database has developed from its initial concept to an operational tool that is invaluable in: 1) community needs assessment, and 2) in examining program outcomes.

The ability to see across systems is very useful as one gauges the impact of mental illness, substance abuse, medical illness, homelessness, and criminal justice involvement. These data can be persuasive in supporting policy and funding requests. PCIC staff have been capable, persistent, and conscientious in their collaboration with us.

When we joined PCIC, the overlap data analysis of our client activity in other service systems and estimated costs was staggering. Our clients were falling into a service gap, resulting in costly emergency services that did not address the root cause of their issues.

Cross-sector data analysis is not only essential; it is critical to see the full scope of service utilization and to identify the community partners necessary to make a case for delivering care differently and improving health outcomes for the person and the community. The insights we obtain from the cross-sector data analytics PCIC provides are invaluable to our agency.
