Imagine being so sick that you visit the emergency room at least ten times or are admitted to a hospital at least four times within a single year. This extreme utilization, combined with at least two chronic health conditions, meets the eligibility requirements for PCIC’s intensive case management program. However, many of our clients far exceed these requirements.

Back in 2004, I started working on a project to build the first web based electronic medical record system in the country, with Jim Turley, RN, PhD – an amazing bioinformatics expert and Dr. Buck (David) – who was then the President at HealthCare for the Homeless - Houston. This was part of my graduate school thesis work, trying to figure out workflow models and data entry flows that worked best for street outreach.

Dear Friends and Supporters of PCIC:

We'd like to welcome our newest PCIC care coordinator, Chris Dammel. Chris is a firefighter with the Houston Fire Department, and has served his community for ten years. He heard about PCIC from current care coordinators, Eric Lobpries and Karen Dupont. Although he's only been with us for a month, he has some great insight about our organization's vision and goals with the clients.

Dear friends and supporters of PCIC:

We wanted to share with you our news as we conclude Phase I. The project is moving into Phase II thanks to YOU, our collaborators, stakeholders and funders.
