Parkland Health Launches Center for Clinical Innovation to Prevent Adverse Events

Dallas-based Parkland Health & Hospital System announced the creation of the Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation, an affiliated non-profit research and development corporation focused on developing clinical decision support software.

The PCCI will develop software that can help clinicians predict patient problems before they occur, according to the release.


Ruben Amarasingham, MD, who has been named president and CEO of PCCI, has already worked with researchers to create a clinical decision support software system called PIECES to reduce readmission rates. Development of PIECES and other research has been funded by more than $4.5 million in competitive grant awards from institutions including the National Institutes of Health, The National Cancer Institute and the W.W. Caruth, Jr. Foundation of the Communities Foundation of Texas, according to the report.
