SUMMARY: The overarching goal of the Whole Person Care (WPC) Pilot is to coordinate health services in a patient -centered manner to improve patients' health and well-being through more efficient and effective use of resources. The Department is internally reconfiguring and aligning resources to implement social determinants -driven population health management for the WPC target populations and is proposing to enter into a contract with the City of San Rafael to increase connection between their outreach efforts to individuals experiencing homelessness and the county's systems of care. The City of San Rafael staff will provide oral and written information about the WPC pilot to potential enrollees and describe the benefits of enrollment. Staff will confirm potential enrollees' interest in participation, verify their eligibility status, collect releases of information, determine whether the person is enrolled in another program, and enter the potential enrollees' demographic information into the program's care coordination platform, WIZARD, when applicable. COMMUNITY BENEFIT: The City of San Rafael staff is proximate to individuals who would benefit from coordinated county services. This service fills a crucial gap in the homeless outreach system. It will help connect more clients to services and housing while improving their health and reducing unnecessary use of health care services, such as emergency medical and psychological services, hospital emergency departments, and in-patient hospital stays. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no increase to the General Fund Net County cost as a result of your Board's approval. Funding for this proposed contract is available in 9-3-M) PG. 2 OF 2 FY 2019-20 budget in the WPC Services program and is supported by federal Whole Person Care revenue.

Vision The vision is to build a sustainable, evidence -based, outcomes -focused coordinated system of care across health and social sectors to more efficiently and effectively serve Marin County's most vulnerable Medi -Cal beneficiaries. Purpose The purpose of Marin County's Whole Person Care Program is to improve the wellbeing of Marin's Medi -Cal population who are experiencing complex medical conditions and those who are homeless or precariously housed. Two of the program's primary goals are to reduce hospitalizations and emergency department visits among enrollees. People experiencing homelessness are among the most vulnerable community members and disproportionately interact with emergency services, including law enforcement. Research demonstrates that use of emergency services decreases as people are permanently housed. Field-based outreach to people experiencing homelessness is key to engaging individuals in the housing process. The services included in this scope of work serve as a critical element of the County's implementation of a unified, coordinated holistic care management system by standardizing screening, assessments, and care coordination; and by promoting bi-directional information sharing and care coordination among providers. The goal for this systems -level change is new, coordinated, and sustainable approaches that will improve the health and decrease the cost of caring for high-risk, high-cost Medi -Cal beneficiaries. These services are also designed to build upon and leverage — not duplicate — the County's existing array of Medi -Cal billable services, and to ensure that high-risk Medi -Cal beneficiaries with barriers to care get the support they need to access care and manage their social determinants of health. As such, Whole Person Care dollars cannot be used to fund services that are otherwise covered or directly reimbursed by Medi -Cal. This proposed service incentivizes the contractor to engage, inform, and connect potential clients to Whole Person Care and other services that may assist them in resolving their homeless status and other determinants of health. Underlying Philosophies The following four philosophies underlie the program's design and must be central to all services delivered: n Housing First Evidence from communities across the country indicate that the most effective solution to homelessness is to place people in permanent housing without preconditions, and then provide the wraparound services necessary for them to stabilize. This philosophy is called "housing first" and is applicable to not just permanent housing, but also to outreach, shelter, and services programs. (https://endhomelessness org/resource/housing-first/) Trauma -Informed Care Trauma -informed care realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery; recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff and others involved in the system; responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices, and seeks to actively resist re -traumatization. (https://www.samhsa.gov/nctic/trauma-interventions) Person -Focused Care A person -focused approach decentralizes and integrates services across the spectrum of care, to cross -train staff from different agencies to implement shared strategies, and to simplify and redesign work while increasing enrollees' involvement in their care. The priority is to design and align systems to reach and serve the client and communities, rather than requiring target populations to overcome systemic structural or cultural barriers. Social Determinants of Health The WPC Pilot will universally screen enrollees for the non -clinical barriers that may be interfering with their ability to lead healthy, productive lives. (https://www.cdc.gov/socialdeterminants/) Service Provided: I Information and Referral Encounters Contractor will be reimbursed for providing information and completed referrals for potential enrollees. Engagement is a key component of information and referral. Staff will locate, identify, and build relationships with targeted beneficiaries (e g., sheltered and unsheltered homeless; patients with complex conditions) for the purpose of enrolling in the WPC pilot. Staff will complete an initial assessment of needs and eligibility and will actively connect the potential enrollee to a participating entity for screening and assessment. Staff will provide oral and written information about the WPC pilot to potential enrollees and describe the benefits of enrollment. Staff will confirm their interest in participation, verify potential enrollees' eligibility status, collect releases of information, identify if the person is enrolled in another program, and enter the potential enrollees' demographic information into the program's care coordination platform, WIZARD, when applicable. 7 Inclusion Criteria Identification of Eligible WPC Enrollees/Target Population The interventions funded through this contract aim to address the needs of Medi -Cal eligible adults who are precariously housed or experiencing homelessness.

Rather than acting in an antagonistic or combative way, the therapist engages with the client to explore his feelings, including ambivalence about changing, and help the client find his own motivations.

Accordingly, the City does not have a commercially issued general liability insurance policy. Additionally, the City participates in a public entity excess liability pool for additional liability coverage of $39,500,000 in excess of $500,000. The pool, the California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority (CJPRMA) provides the City's excess coverage under a Memorandum of Coverage. Because it is a local governmental agency existing in the State of California and because it is entitled to self -insure under the Government Code, the City assumes that this letter will satisfy the insurance requirements of the Agreement between Marin County Health & Human Services and the City of San Rafael in connection with the Whole Person Care agreement. Please call the City Attorney's Office at 485-3080 should you have any questions regarding insurance. Very truly yours, Law4.,-, LISA A.
