RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-377-1 with the California Department of Public Health, for the California Reportable Disease Information Exchange (CalREDIE) System for data use and disclosure of public health conditions for state-wide surveillance, for the period from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a nonfinancial agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the Public Health Division will not be able to improve the efficiency of surveillance activities and early detection of public health events in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to improve the efficiency of surveillance activities and early detection of public health events through the collection of more complete and timely surveillance information on a state wide basis. The CalREDIE System database includes demographic, epidemiologic (including clinical information, risk factor information, and laboratory test results information), and administrative information on reportable diseases collected for the purpose of case investigation, disease prevention and surveillance.

On September 18, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #28-377 to allow the County to report and receive data for its Public Health Division’s Communicable Disease, HIV/Sexually Transmitted Disease Programs, through July 31, 2021.

Approval of Agreement #28-377-1 will allow the County to continue to report and receive data through July 31, 2024. This agreement includes agreeing to mutually indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any claims arising out of the performance of this agreement.
