RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22035 to add four (4) Health Services Planner/Evaluator - Level A (VCXC) positions at salary plan and grade level ZB2 1099 ($3,540 - $5,127) and two (2) Clerk-Specialist Level (JWXD) positions at salary plan and grade level 3RX 1156 ($3,627 - $4,632) in the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of approximately $614,826, which includes estimated pension costs of $126,839. This cost will be 100% offset by the Whole Person Care Program grant funds.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Health Services received funding for a Whole Person Care (WPC) Program from the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). The program provides coordination of services through a three-pronged approach: 1) Integrated and Coordinated Data Systems, 2) Enhanced and Coordinated Case Management, and 3) a Sobering Center to improve the health and well-being of a vulnerable population. It targets Medi-Cal patients who are high risk and high utilizers of high acuity medical services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The WPC program requires a robust staffing to meet the deliverables set forth by DHCS. The Health Services Planner/Evaluator positions will perform program planning and evaluation to assist in identifying delivery problems and conducting of needs assessments studies in addition to research and evaluative studies of the effectiveness of the WPC program. The Clerk-Specialist positions will perform administrative support functions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, Health Services will not have the appropriate staff for the WPC program and risk losing $20 million annual funds from DHCS.
