Approve Submission of' Funding Application 429-374 to
SUBJECT: the State Department of Health Services for the Vital
Record Improvement Project (VRIP)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) a BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of Funding Application #29-374 to the State
Department of Health Services requesting $ 14 , 600 of State VRIP
funding for the period January 1 , 1989 through December 31 , 1989
to expand the Automated Vital Statistics System (AVSS) .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
Approval of this application by the State will result in $ 14 , 600
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 expand its AVSS. The Health Services Department automated
its birth registrations system approximately two and one-half
years ago through the SNAP grant funded purchase of a mini-
mainframe computer and the AVSS . To reach maximum efficiency
for County and district hospital staff , each birthing hospital
in the County needs to be on-line to the system. Currently,
only two of the seven birthing hospitals in this County are on-
line . A VRIP grant from the State will fund the purchase of
sufficient equipment to bring the other five hospitals on-line.
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 .
