RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Department, a purchase order with Sprint Nextel, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 for the purchase of cell phones to be provided to patients enrolled in the Contra Costa Health Services’ Whole Person Care Pilot Program, for the period from November 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funded 100% by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Administration’s Whole Person Care Pilot Program. No County funding required.

BACKGROUND:

The Whole Person Care Pilot Program includes cell phones provided to enrolled patients to facilitate and maintain communication with health care and social service providers. Sprint Nextel, Inc. has prepared a cost-effective package to allow the Health Services Department to provide cell phones free of charge to Program enrollees for 6 months at a time. During this time, case managers work with patients to develop long-term, sustainable access to affordable cell phones through government programs.  



BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
This purchase order will allow Sprint Nextel, Inc. to provide cell phones to Whole Person Care Pilot Program enrollees through December 31, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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