and we expect to see a continued high level of new enrollees through the end of the year. With that growth, there are
more members qualifying for programs including our Disease Management Programs for Diabetes and Pediatric
Obesity. Our staff works directly with patients with these diagnoses and their families to improve their health status

Subject:Add one 24/40 Health Services Administrator-Level B position in the Health Services Department
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
this program has reached her capacity; more staff is needed to counsel additional members. Also, CCHP is now
responsible for providing mild to moderate mental health benefits and Applied Behavioral Analysis for Autism.
These new benefits require new quality measurement and improvement work, requiring additional staff time.
NCQA, our accrediting body, has implemented extensive new standards. To meet the standards, we need staff to:
1)Produce and distribute self management tools, 2)Perform usability testing on them, 3)Review and update when
new evidence is available, at least every two years, 4)Assist members with the tools by email, phone, and mail,
5)Use data sources to identify members eligible for wellness activities, 6)Provide reminders for needed or missed
care, 7)Provide incentives for use of tools and health assessments measure effectiveness of the incentive program,
8)Provide required quality measurement and improvement assistance to Claims, Pharmacy, Member Services, and
Advice Nurse Unit regarding new web-based functionality they are required to add, and 9)Manage compliance
with numerous Behavioral Health standards that had previously been carved out.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved and without additional staff, the Quality Management unit will not be able to meet
the mandated requirements of the Health Plan.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
