RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21699 to add one (1) Registered Nurse-Experienced Level (VWXD) position ($7,305-$8,142)in the Contra Costa Health Plan division of the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The additional costs associated with this action are approximately $156,770 annually with benefits, including $34,688 in pension costs. Costs will be funded by CCHP Enterprise Fund II (100%).

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Health Plan's Case Management unit is in need of a full-time Registered Nurse position to handle the influx of patients needing Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS). In order for Contra Costa Health Plan to meet the mandated staffing requirements of the California Department of Health Services (DHCS), a full-time RN position is needed for this program. A new Adult Day Care facility is opening soon in Concord which will double the number of CBAS patients in CCHP.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved and without additional staff, Contra Costa Health Plan's Case Management unit will not have adequate staffing to meet the mandated requirements of the Plan.
