RECOMMENDATION(S):

Authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Department, to purchase food for Community Advisory Meetings and Gift Cards for client incentives, in an amount not to exceed $4,000 ($2,000 for Safeway gift cards in the amount of $5 each and $2,000 for food at meetings) to use for Whole Person Care Pilot Program from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funded 100% by the California Department of Health Care Services’ Whole Person Care Pilot funding. No county general funds will be used.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Health Services received funding for a Whole Person Care (WPC) Pilot Program from the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). The program provides an integrated physical health, behavioral health, and social services in a patient-centered manner with the goals of improved health and well-being of a vulnerable population. It targets Medi-Cal patients who are high risk, high utilizers of high acuity medical services and/or across multiple delivery systems.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The program includes regular meetings of an advisory board that includes community based organizations and other consumers.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Whole Person Care Pilot Program would not be fulfilling the goals outlined in the DHCS application.
