Approve Submission of Funding Application #29-372 to t 'ly
SUBJECT: the State Department of Health Services for the Vital
Record Improvement Project (VRIP)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(,S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of Funding Application 429-372 to the State
Department of Health Services requesting $12 ,850 of State VRIP
funding for the period January 1 , 1989 through December 31 , 1989
to establish a birth registrations reallocation system.
XI . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
Approval of this application by the State will result in $ 12 ,850
funding for this vital records improvement project . No County
funds are required for this new project .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
If the requested funds are awarded by the State , Contra Costa
will establish a Bay Area computerized system for reallocation
of County resident birth registrations occurring in other coun-
ties . Approximately 31% of the annual births to Contra Costa
residents occur out of the County, for example , at Alta Bates
Hospital in Alameda County. Currently, there is a two year lag
time between each out-of-county birth and the availability to
the County of complete data on these births . An automated
reallocation system will allow Contra Costa County to maintain a
complete , up-to-date database of County resident births , thus
allowing the Health Services Department ' s Public Health Division
to better target perinatal and prenatal services in this County.
In order the meet the State ' s application deadline , draft copies
of the funding application have already been forwarded to the
State Department of Health Services , but subject to Board appro-
val . The Board Chairman should sign seven copies of the appli-
cation, six of which should be returned to the Contracts and
Grants Unit , along with certified copies of the Board Order , for
forwarding to the State .
