RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21720 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:

Upon approval, the costs associated with this action will be approximately $156,770 annually with benefits, including $34,687 in pension costs. Costs will be funded by CCHP Enterprise Fund II. (100%).

BACKGROUND:

One full-time Registered Nurse-Experienced Level position was recently transferred from Contra Costa Health Plan's Case Management unit to the West County High Acuity Health Home pilot program. A new RN position is now needed in Case Management to handle the entire case load (approximately 72 members) that the transferred position handled. Without this new position, there will be a large delay in case assignments within the unit with potential negative outcomes for the member and high expenditures by the Health Plan due to the lack of available Case Managers.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved and without additional staff, CCHP's Case Management unit will not have adequate Nursing staff to handle the cases assigned to the unit which negatively affects patient care.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
