RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22200 to add one (1) Medical Director-Exempt (VCA2) position at salary plan and grade B85-2645 ($26,690) in the Health Services Department. (Unrepresented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an approximate annual cost of $485,758 with pension costs of $113,702 included. The cost will be funded 100% by the Whole Person Care Grant.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) received a $40M grant under the Whole Person Care statewide waiver pilot program to serve vulnerable Medi-Cal recipients. CCHS called the pilot Community Connect Program. The goal of the Community Connect Program is to provide patient-centered services to homeless individuals and families. A patient-centered service includes access to nutritious food and safe housing that promote active living. Coordination with county departments, community based organizations and residents are important to continue and enhance community engagement and municipal partnerships.

The Medical Director will plan, organize, direct and provide senior executive leadership in the Community Connect Program. The incumbent will have the overall responsibility of directing and administering the complex medical component of the Whole Person Care services. Ensuring that the Community Connect Program meets the overall goals in the areas of quality and safety, client experience, staff experience and financial stewardship will be part of the primary responsibility of the incumbent. Other assignments include recommending, developing, implementing and evaluating goals, objectives, policies and procedures related to the program, including supervising all levels of medical, professional, technical and support staff.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the department will not have the desired staff to ensure deliverables and grant funding requirements with the Department of Health Care Services are achieved.
