body
Financial Impact:
Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) dollars will be utilized to pay for these services. There is no impact on the General Fund.
Background Information:
On 12/17/24, the Board of Supervisors reviewed and approved the agreement with CalMHSA for participation in the Quality Measures and Performance Improvement Program. After the Board of Supervisors approved this agreement, CalMHSA found that the Business Associate Agreement attached and incorporated into the agreement was an outdated version. The Department has since worked with CalMHSA and our County Counsel to revise the agreement with the correct Business Associate language. The Department is requesting to rescind the previously approved agreement (Misc. Agree. #2024-376) and approve this corrected version.
This Participation Agreement to participate in the Quality Measures and Performance Improvement Program (QMPIP) will support Behavioral Health in meeting the Department of Healthcare Services (DHCS) mandated Healthcare Effective Data and Information Set (HEDIS) reporting requirements for Measurement Year 2024. HEDIS is one of health care’s most widely used performance improvement tools to evaluate and drive health care quality. CalMHSA will utilize data provided by the department to calculate the five required Mental Health Plan measures and produce one annual report to help the Participants target interventions and meet state requirements. CalMHSA will host webinars to support Participants in orienting to HEDIS measurement and related performance improvement strategies.
