RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #29-821 with the Public Health Institute, to pay County in an amount not to exceed $260,000, for the California Bridge Program, for the period from February 15, 2019 through July 15, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $260,000 of State funding from the Public Health Institute for the California Bridge Program. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The goal of the California Bridge Program is to connect patients to Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) treatment services upon discharge from the hospital to lower morbidity rates and improve recovery rates. This Program will allow the Public Health Division to train a Substance Use Navigator (SUN) to provide linkage services for patients with OUD during discharge from Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) Inpatient or Emergency Units.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Grant Agreement #29-821 will allow the County to provide linkage services for OUD patients upon discharge from CCRMC Inpatient and Emergency Units, through July 15, 2020. This Agreement contains mutual indemnification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive funds and will not be able to provide OUD linkage services upon discharge from CCRMC.
