Organizational Staffing Structure
PCIC's organizational staffing structure is shown below. Learn more about our teams here.
Work Culture Model
At PCIC we believe that “Innovation” is at the heart of our culture – from the efforts of the intervention team, figuring out ways of engaging patients and meeting their complex care needs, to the technology team developing solutions for better continuity of care through data analysis and software development, to the research team evaluating the effectiveness of these efforts.
We follow a model of holacracy to bring structure and discipline to a peer-to-peer workplace.
The five divisions at PCIC: Administration, Business Development, Technology, Intervention and Population Health Research, follows this model, as depicted in the visual below.
Each division works in a peer-to-peer model and interfaces with each other in a collaborative manner.

In turn, PCIC will be responsible to me in several ways:

- An orientation will be provided for me during open hours of operation so that I can witness and participate, as appropriate. I will also be able to discuss with the staff and the board president, the internal programs, goals, activities, and status; additionally, I can request such opportunities. I understand that I will need to sign a client confidentiality form and the client observed need to sign a permission of client release form.

Client Outcomes
Care Coordination & Client Outcomes PCIC’s care coordination team consists of social workers, paramedics, community health workers, and a doctor assigned to all clients. Clients are identified through data collected from multiple systems. The determination is based on certain criteria, including 10+ emergency room visits and/or 4+ admissions in the last year. The clients are diagnosed with at least two chronic conditions, which can include substance abuse and mental health challenges. The team works with 15 clients at any given time. Each client is unique in identified challenges, but the intervention goals are the same for everyone, lower emergency room visits and hospital admissions, lower total healthcare costs, and improve quality of life. Outcomes from our last pre-post analysis are shown below.

Analytics & Dashboards
The development of dashboards is a key to the PCIC intervention. Data will be received from multiple systems in a secure manner and will be integrated into data-cleanup workflows, data blending and merging into the Master Client Index (MCI). There workflows are semi-automated with Alteryx, SQL scripts and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages.
Once the data is imported into the MCI, dashboards are created based on the problem being solved. These may be overlap analysis dashboards across multiple systems, or a system specific dashboard. Access control policies are applied against the data and the dashboards, so that just the relevant user have access to the views.
