RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Contract #74-476-5 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, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing 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 10, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-476-4 with Consumers Self-Help Center, for the provision of a Patients’ Rights Program for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

Approval of Contract #74-476-5 will allow the Contractor to continue providing a Patients’ Rights Program through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, 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.
