RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5026 authorizing revenue and expenditure adjustments due to an Interdepartmental Services Agreement with the Health Services Department in the amount of $2,324,680 for the Community Connect Whole Person Care Pilot Program, in the Employment and Human Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will establish the revenue and expenditure budgets related to the Community Connect Whole Person Care Pilot Program (WPC) in the Employment and Human Services Department as a result of a $2,324,680 Interagency Departmental Agreement with the Health Services Department. Employment and Human Services Department has committed a staff of 17 individuals to assist in the implementation of the WPC and this request will establish a budget within the WPC org for these positions. (100% State)

BACKGROUND:

In July, 2016 Contra Costa County Health Services (CCHS) Department submitted an application to the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) for implementation of a Whole Person Care (WPC) Pilot Program. In October, 2016, DHCS approved the application and awarded CCHS $40,000,000 annually over five years to implement a WPC Pilot Program along with eighteen other county health care systems. The overall goal of the WPC program is to increase coordination of health, behavioral health, and social services for Medi-Cal recipients who are at high risk of utilizing high acuity medical services across multiple delivery systems. The program will provide integrated physical health, behavioral health, and social services in a patient-centered manner in order to improve the health and well-being of this vulnerable population. Team-based case management and care coordination are two of the major aspects of the service delivery model for this program. CCHS has asked the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) to assist in case management and care coordination of social services for this vulnerable population. EHSD has dedicated 17 positions in order to provide social service case management and care coordination. EHSD social work staff will be co-located with Health Services staff at the WPC work site and will be physically embedded within the project’s interdisciplinary work teams. Under an interdepartmental agreement, CCHS will transfer funds to EHSD from its WPC revenue to cover all the costs of EHSD staff assigned to the project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Appropriations will not be properly allocated.
