RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26110 to increase the hours of one (1) Licensed Vocational Nurse (VT7G) position No. 14382 and its incumbent at salary plan and grade TAX-1287 ($5,075 - $6,481) from 20/40 to 24/40 in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this will result in an annual cost increase of $11,827, with $1,170 in pension costs already included. This cost increase will be 100% funded by Contra Costa Health Plan Member Premium Payments.

BACKGROUND:

The Advice Nurse unit within the Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) recently increased the number of Targeted Care Coordination (TCC) Providers per session due to the high demand of calls being received from health plan members. There is a need for a Licensed Vocational Nurse to assist the TCC Providers to follow up with patients after the TCC telehealth visit and also assist with non-medical calls. Due to this need, CCHP requests to increase the working hours of position #14382 and its incumbent from 20/40 to 24/40, effective March 1, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the unit will not have adequate staff and will not be able to keep up with the high demand of calls.
