SUBJECT: Application for High Risk Infant Follow Up Funds submitted to the
State Department of' Health Services (County #29-316)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the application submitted by the'Public Health Division of the Health
Services Department on March 22, 1985 to the Maternal and Child Health Branch of
the California Department of Health Services for $200,000 in State funds for the
period of July 1, 1985 through June 30, 1986 for the purpose of coordinating
with Children's Hospital Medical Center of Northern California, Regional Center
of the East Bay, and other programs to serve at-risk infants and their families,
and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This application for State funds does not specifically require a local match.
However, we have identified in the application $78,234 of County funds that will
be utilized in conjunction with this project. With the exception of $3,000 for
communication, the County funds designated are for administration and overhead
and are already included in the Division budget. The allocation of County costs
associated with this program are calculated in their various categories by the
formula used to define the fully costed Public Health Nursing hour. The 3.25
FTE Pediatric Nurse Practitioner positions will be recruited from Public Health
Nursing pool . These positions will then be replaced by the Public Health
Nursing unit. The only other new staff for the project is a .5 FTE clerk. The
$200,000 proposed revenue has not been anticipated in the 85/86 budget and would
be used to pay for the project positions.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Maternal and Child Health Branch of the State Department of Health Services
has made available funds for use in counties to provide identification and case
management of high risk infants. Our Public Health Department received the RFP
only two weeks prior to the application deadline; consequently, we are asking
the Board to approve our submission retroactively. Our application indicates
that the proposal will be withdrawn if Board approval is not obtained. There
are approximately 500 births in Contra Costa County each year of infants at risk
for medical- or psycho-social problems. This project would allow early identifi -
cation of these infants and case management of their referrals and treatments.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should Board approval of this application not be obtained, we would notify the
Maternal and Child Health Division that our application is withdrawn.
