| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
In April 2018, the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) issued a request for proposals from qualified community based organizations to provide Children’s Outpatient Mental Health Treatment Services. This RFP requested proposals on a range of outpatient treatment services, including the provision of Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT). HHSA formed a Proposal Review Committee to review all proposals received, and ultimately selected four providers for the provision of EPSDT services during the period from fiscal year 2018-19 through 2022-23. This included two established EPSDT providers in our community (CommuniCare Health Centers and Turning Point Community Programs), and two providers that were new to providing this service in Yolo County (Stanford Youth Solutions and Victor Community Support Services).
These four contracts were presented to the Board of Supervisors for approval in October 2018. At that time, the Board requested that HHSA return with an update on how the contracts were performing. This agenda item will provide a presentation of available performance data to accommodate that request.
Each of the four contracts include comparable performance measures that are structured according to the Results Based Accountability (RBA) model. Each contractor is required to provide their data quarterly to staff in the HHSA Children’s Mental program so that the outcomes can be tracked and analyzed. Prior to fiscal year 2018-19, outcome measures of contracted EPSDT providers were not being consistently tracked by HHSA. Within fiscal year 2018-19, data was only consistently available from all four providers beginning in April 2019. The contracts were finalized in October 2018, and only two of the providers (CommuniCare and Turning Point) were able to begin providing services immediately. Therefore, the presentation associated with this agenda item will review performance data for all four providers from the period between April 1, 2019 and June 30, 2019. |
