We also have an outpatient surgical center as well as primary providers throughout the community, including schools where we have school-based clinics all over the Dallas County community area. We refer to them as Community Oriented Primary Clinics (COPCs). We have a very large ambulatory organization, including several large ambulatory clinics throughout the community. Parkland consists of one principal hospital with approximately 720 beds. It’s an affiliated teaching hospital of the University of Texas Southwestern. Parkland Health & Hospital System is a county/state-owned facility. Gamble: To start us off, can you give some information about Parkland Hospital and Health System - what you have in the way of hospital beds, clinics, things like that? Gamble: Hi Fernando, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today. As someone who lives in a data-centric, data-driven industry, getting to work with such brilliant individuals is an absolute privilege. One of the things that attracted me to the job here is the ability to work with an organization that is so progressive. Physicians augmenting the care by including this predictive risk score were able to take care of individuals that were high risk for readmission and stabilize them before discharging them. So we’ve been very successful in that regard. The organization had a 20-some odd percentage drop in readmission for congestive heart failures as a result of the use of this predictive analytics engine. I think we have a very good program in place, and I feel confident that we’ll be able to address that. Transitions of care has proven to be a very challenging component of Stage 2 attestation.
