RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Contract #74-476-7 with Consumer Self-Help Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $255,620, to provide a Patients’ Rights Program, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $255,620 for FY 2021-2022 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with Consumers Self-Help Center, since October 2014 to provide a State-mandated Patients’ Rights Advocacy Program, including general advocacy and training services, Certification Review Hearing services, and Reise Capacity Hearing services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-476-6 with Consumers Self-Help Center, for the provision of a Patients’ Rights Program in an amount not to exceed $255,620, for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Contract #74-476-7 will allow this contractor to continue providing a Patients’ Rights Program through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not have a Patients’ Rights Advocacy Program and will be out of compliance with the performance contract with the State Department of Health Care Services, placing funding for the Department’s mental health programs at risk.
