RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to accept Grant Award #28-925 including indemnification with the University of Chicago, on behalf of its Booth School of Business, an Educational Institution, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $647,000 to form a partnership to enable data-driven improvements in diagnosis and patient outcomes from Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) data and research, for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of the Grant Award will result in payment to the County up to $647,000 in sub-grant funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

CCHS and researchers from the University of Chicago Nightingale team are forming a partnership in order to enable data-driven improvements in diagnosis and patient outcomes from CCHS data and research. CCHS and researchers will work hand-in-hand to curate datasets relevant to research questions and public health needs.

Approval of this Award #28-925 will allow CCHS clinicians to take a data driven approach to patient care and make improvements in diagnosis from new data research, through June 30, 2021, including County’s agreement to indemnify the University.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive funding to work in partnership with the University of Chicago’s Nightingale team.
