RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25896 to add one (1) Public Health Nurse Program Manager position (VWHL) at salary plan and grade ZZX-1006 ($11,778.67 - $14,317.05) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will result in an approximate salary and benefit annual cost increase of $279,163, which includes $108,259 in pension cost. The position will funded by 40% Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH) Allocation (allows for a 75/25 draw down with Federal funding), 30% Nurse-Family Partnership (State General Funds through the California Home Visiting Program), and 30% CalWORKs Home Visiting Program revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to add one (1) Public Health Nurse Program Manager (VWHL) full-time position. The Nurse Family Partnership has received expansion dollars specific to the California Home Visiting Program (CHVP). The dollars may only be used to expand clinical program capacity and deepen infrastructure for this evidence-based home visiting program. An additional Public Health Nurse Program Manager will allow the department to maintain the required ratio of supervising nurse manager to nurse home visitors that is specified by the Nurse-Family Partnership national model. The need for more clinical supervision is in addition to the work being done by the current Nurse Program Manager who provides direction for the program, oversees three contracts maintaining relationships with the funders, including policy and protocol development that allow staff to meet program and clinical expectations, quality assurance and continuous reporting on services being provided across multiple platforms.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, there will not be sufficient management staff allocated to the California Home Visiting Program and this will negatively affect program activities and compliance with national model supervision ratios.
