FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of these adjustments will increase federal Delivery System Reform Incentive Pool revenues and increase expenditures by $25,916,000. BACKGROUND: The Medi-Cal Waiver created a five-year funding opportunity for Public Hospitals that meet certain performance standards. If the hospital meets the waiver performance standards it receives enhanced reimbursement from the Delivery System Reform Incentive Pool (DSRIP). Under the DSRIP, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center must meet annual benchmarks to fully realize $120 million over the life of the waiver. The cornerstone to meeting the performance standards is the full implementation of an Electronic Medical Record (EMR).
