FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $2,416,931 which includes pension costs of $517,288. The costs will be completely offset by Federally Qualified Health Care and third party revenues.
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department is requesting to add 18 positions as part of the expansion of services at the Antioch Health Center. Due to the increased volume and demand associated with the Affordable Care Act and the increased membership in the Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP), these expanded services are necessary to provide additional ambulatory care clinic hours of Family Practice Medicine to the residents of East Contra Costa County.
The increased clinic services will allow a total of 1,386 patient visits per week with full capacity which is implemented in three phases. These 18 positions are included in Phase Two, and a subsequent request for the final Phase Three will be submitted at a later date.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Antioch Health Center will not have adequate staffing to provide increased patient care services for our CCHP members and residents in East Contra Costa County.
