FACTUAL RECITALS Pursuant to section 25-1.5-101 0)(I), C.R.S., as amended,the General Assembly of the state of Colorado has declared that the state"has, in addition to all other powers and duties imposed upon it by law,the powers and duties to disseminate public health information." Section 25-1.5-101 (r), C.R.S.,as amended, states that the state can, "operate and maintain a program for children with disabilities to provide and expedite provision of health care services to children who have congenital birth defects or who are the victims of burns or trauma or children who have acquired disabilities".

The State's Prevention Services Division (PSD) is charged with the administration of funds from the Title V MCH Block Grant to improve the health and well being of the maternal and child/adolescent populations through assessing population needs, influencing health policy, engaging in strategic planning and coordinating/implementing best practices and evidenced-based programs. The authority for the administration of the Title V MCH Block Grant, including the maternal, child and children with special health care needs resides in Title V of the Social Security Act, §§ 501-509. Each state that receives MCH funds from the HHS must demonstrate to the HHS that it has served three(3)distinct population groups with the MCH funds. These three(3)distinct population groups are: "the perinatal population", which is defined to include women of childbearing age,pregnant women, and mothers;the"child and youth population", which is defined to include infants,children, and adolescents from birth through age twenty(20);and, the"children with special health care needs population"(CSHCN), which is defined as those children who have,or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral,or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally.

Local public health agencies, working in partnership with other community organizations, facilitate the development and enhancement of community-based systems of care for the maternal, and child population. The goal of these systems is to ensure that all families have access to direct care services,as well as,enabling and population-based services that address the issues and health problems delineated in the MCH performance measures.

Section 29-1- 201,C.R.S., as amended, further states that all state of Colorado contracts with its political subdivisions are exempt from the state of Colorado's personnel rules and procurement code. The Contractor is a political subdivision of the state of Colorado.

Direct Health Care Services Direct health care services are defined as basic health services. Such services are generally delivered"one on one" between a health professional and a patient in an office, clinic or emergency room. Basic services include what most consider to be ordinary medical care, inpatient and outpatient medical services, allied health services,drugs, laboratory testing, x-ray services,dental care,and pharmaceutical products and services. State Title V programs may support services such as prenatal care, child health,school health and family planning by directly operating programs or by funding local providers. Direct health care services also include health care services for children with special needs. 2. Enabling Services Enabling services are defined as services that allow or provide for access to and the derivation of benefits from the array of basic health care services. Enabling services include transportation,translation, outreach, respite care,health education, family support services, purchase of health insurance, case management, and coordination of care. These kinds of services are especially necessary for the low-income population which is disadvantaged,geographically or culturally isolated,and for those with special and complicated health needs. 3. Population-Based Services Population-based services are defined as services which are intended and available for the entire population,rather than for a selected group of individuals. Disease, prevention, health promotion and statewide outreach come under this heading. Oral health, injury prevention,nutrition and outreach and public education are topics which also belong in this category. Population-based services are generally available for women and children regardless of whether they receive care in the public or private sector or whether or not they have health insurance. 4 Infrastructure Building Services Infrastructure building services are defined as those services that are directed at improving and maintaining the health status of a population. Included among those services are development and maintenance of health systems, standards, and guidelines, training,data,and planning. Needs assessment,evaluation, policy development,quality assurance, information systems, and applied research are all contained within the infrastructure umbrella.

Both Local Plans are part of a planning, implementation and evaluation process that is associated with the receipt of State and Federal funds for Maternal and Child Health(MCH)activities in local health departments. The information in this document provides guidance for the development and submission of the Local Plans due on or before May I,2006. In each of the Local Plans the Contractor is asked to assess and prioritize the health status needs for each of the populations addressed in the plan and to identify how the MCH funds will be used to address the priority needs. Quantitative and qualitative data gathered at the state and local levels should be used in assessing health status needs. The resources available in the community,to meet these needs,should also be assessed and considered in establishing the priorities to be addressed with MCH funding. Local public health agencies are expected to collaborate with public and private partners in the development of the two local plans. Health issues should be addressed using multi-faceted systematic approaches,which improve health status indicators at a population level. It is the intention of MCH federal and state funding agencies to decrease,over time,the provision of direct patient care services to individuals using MCH monies and to increase enabling,population- based and infrastructure building activities. Local decisions about how to use MCH funds must also take into account whether the activities to be implemented are likely to improve the MCH Performance Measures in the entire county or district and not just within a small group of individuals enrolled in a program within the agency. The contractor's decision to utilize MCH and/or HCP funds to provide direct patient care services must have the approval of the State. Colorado has identified ten MCH priorities to be addressed with MCH Block Grant funding. The services or activities provided under the MCH and HCP funding should be responsive to one or more of the priorities,which are as follows: • Improve healthy birth outcomes for pregnant women • Improve access to health care for MCH populations • Improve immunization rates for all children • Reduce the adolescent fertility rate • Reduce the rates of child and adolescents motor vehicle injury and death • Improve preconceptual health among women • Reduce the incidence of overweight and obesity among children and teens • Improve the mental health of MCH populations • Improve the health of children • Reduce the use of tobacco,alcohol and other drugs among the MCH population Page 1 of 9 The Local Prenatal and Child/Adolescent Plan and the Local CYSHCN Plan will each consist of three sections,the Agency's Organizational Chart,the Statement of Need,and the Operational Plan. Section 1-Organizational Chart: For the Organizational Chart Section of the Local Plans the Contractor shall provide two organizational charts,the first organizational chart is for your Local Prenatal and Child/Adolescent Plan and needs to contain the names of supervisors, staff under each supervisor,and the percentage of FTE for each staff receiving MCH funds for performing prenatal and child/adolescent tasks within the agency;the second chart is for your Local CYSHCN Plan and needs to contain the names of supervisors, staff under each supervisor, and the percentage of FTE for each staff receiving HCP funds for performing CYSHCN tasks. Section 2-Statement of Need: For the Statement of Need Section of your Local Prenatal and Child/Adolescent Plan,complete the Performance Measure Checklist-Part II-FY07 to assess and present the priority needs for which your agency will use the MCH funding for the prenatal and child/adolescent populations. For the Statement of Need Section of your Local CYSHCN Plan, complete the appropriate sections of the HERMAN document and the Performance Measure Checklist-Part I-FY07 to assess and present the priority needs for which your agency will use the HCP funding for the children and youth with special health care needs population. Section 3-Operational Plan: For the Operational Plan Section of the Contractor's Local Plans,there should be goals, objectives, activities and measures for each of the Performance Measures for which your agency will be using MCH or HCP funds,as indicated in the Statement of Need Section of each local plan. For certain Performance Measures,the State has developed Model Plans with sample goals, objectives,activities and measures. The Contractor can use these Model Plans for their Operational Plans or may develop their own plans using the same format. The Contractor may also"mix and match"the Model Plans with plans of your own. The Contractor is asked to include a population-based methodology for the activities for at least one(I)of the objectives included in each of the Operational Plans. The Operational Plans will become an attachment to the FY07 MCH Contract. Each Operational Plan shall describe the activities or services to be carried out under the funding provided by this contractual agreement. The activities and services shall be designed to address one or more of the MCH Priorities and associated Performance Measures based on unmet or emerging public health needs of the community. Using the MCH"Core Public Health Services" Pyramid as a guide, local agencies are encouraged to implement infrastructure building, population-based, and enabling services over direct patient care services. Objectives and activities should be developed that are aimed at affecting the outcomes of a large number of people versus a small group. The infrastructure building activities may include the creation of a community planning structure to develop needed health care resources or carrying out further needs assessment. Population-based activities may include injury or disease prevention activities and health promotion activities. Enabling services and activities may include the provision of direct health care information and referral services, follow-up services, and case management services. The services or activities chosen by the Contractor shall be"Best Practice"or"Evidence-Based" approaches or a promising approach, as identified by a review of the applicable literature and consultation with experts. The Operational Plans shall present goals; reasonable,measurable and time-framed objectives;activities that will accomplish the objectives;methods to measure progress in completing the activities(process evaluation); and, methods to evaluate if the objectives are met(outcome evaluation). The Contractor may select from the Model Plans prepared by the State, if such prepared Model Plans address the needs identified as priorities for the Contractor's community in the Statement of Need Section. The objectives and activities of the Model Plans shall be adapted to be reasonable and appropriate for the needs and capacity of the agency. Page 2 of 9 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS: STEP 1. Creating the Organizational Charts A. Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs(CYSHCN)Organizational Chart The Contractor shall provide an organizational chart that contains the names of supervisors receiving HCP funds for supervising CYSHCN staff,names of supervised CYSHCN staff under each supervisor,and the percentage of FTE for each CYSHCN staff listed in the organizational chart. B. Prenatal and Child/Adolescent Organizational Chart The Contractor shall provide an organizational chart that contains the names of supervisors receiving MCH funds for supervising Prenatal and Child/Adolescent staff, names of supervised Prenatal and Child/Adolescent staff under each supervisor,and the percentage of FTE for each Prenatal and Child/Adolescent staff listed in organizational Chart. STEP 2. Completing the Statement Of Need Section of the Local Prenatal and Child/Adolescent Plan and the Local CYSHCN Plan: There are two parts to the Performance Measure Checklist for each agency to use to complete the Statement of Need Sections of the Local Prenatal and Child/Adolescent Plan and the Local CYSHCN Plan: Part I is for the children and youth with special health care needs population,and Part II is for the prenatal and child/adolescent populations. The Checklists are made up of the performance and outcome measures by which the State MCH program reports to the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau each year. Each agency will receive a checklist from the state that has been prepared specifically for the counties in its jurisdiction,with the most current data available for each measure for each county. A. Instructions for completing the Statement of Need for the Local CYSHCN Plan The Statement of Need Section of the Local CYSHCN Plan has two(2)parts: Part 1 - Surveillance of Need for Performance Outcomes 1-7 in the HERMAN document Part 2- The Performance Measure Checklist-Part 1-FY07 1. Complete the Surveillance of Need for Performance Outcomes 1-7 in the HERMAN document. Refer to and use the HCP data report,which shall be provided by the State HCP office in March 2006. The Surveillance of Need will give you qualitative and quantitative data on indicators for each of the seven outcomes. 2. Complete the Performance Measure Checklist-Part l-FY07: a. Decide for each of the six CYSHCN measures if the measure is a low, medium,or high priority. Fill in the appropriate designation(L, M,H) under the"Priority Need figh/Med/Low)"column. If the regional or county measure given meets the Healthy People 2010 goal,mark an"L" for low in the column. If the regional or county measure is near the Healthy People 2010 goal,mark an"M"for medium. If the regional or county measure is far from the Healthy People 2010 goal, mark an"H" for high. There is not regional or county outcome measure data for all six(6) CYSHCN Measures, Refer to all available indicator data in the HCP Data Report and HERMAN to make your judgment of priority level for those measures. Page 3 of 9 b. Check one or more of the boxes under the"How Need Is Being Addressed" heading to show whether you will be using HCP funds to address that need; other funds to address that need;other agencies in your community are addressing the need; or, if you are not addressing it because there are no funds or there is no agency or community support of addressing that need. It may be appropriate to check more than one box. c. If the measure is not a high priority need,but your agency has determined that you need to continue to use HCP funds in order to maintain the good status that the measure reflects,place a check in the"Need to Maintain Current Effort"for that measure. d. In the"Rank for Goals 1-6"column,place numbers I through 6,to indicate the relative priority that you are giving each measure, I being the highest. e. In the Explanation or Description for Checked Boxes column, provide a BRIEF explanation of the situation to explain the checked boxes. B. Instructions for completing the Statement of Need for the Local Prenatal and Child/Adolescent Plan: The Contractor is to complete the Performance Measure Checklist-Part 11-FY07, which has been pre-populated with the data that is provided in the county profile,beginning with the teen fertility data. You will want to refer to the 2005 County Profiles for your county or counties,which will be provided by the state. The Contractor can also obtain a description of the source of information from the 2005 County Profiles for the data and how the rates reported were determined. The"Trends in MCH Performance Measures"document,released in early 2005,for each county will also be provided by the state. The trend analyses analyzes each agency's performance for each measure for which county-level data are available,relative to the state as a whole,to the state goal for 2005 and to the Healthy People 2010 goal, if applicable. To complete the next section of the checklist: 1. Decide if this measure is a priority need. Refer to the"Trends in MCH Performance Measures"document for the county or counties in your jurisdiction. It will tell you which measures are"close to the goal","far from the goal"or"at some distance from the goal". If the county measure meets the Healthy People 2010 goal,mark an"L"for Low in the"Priority Need(High/Med/Low)"column. If the county measure is near the Healthy People 2010 goal, mark an"M"for medium. If the county measure is at some distance or far from the Healthy People 2010 goal, mark an"H"for high. 2. Under the"How Need Is Being Addressed" Section,check one or more of the boxes to show if you will be using MCH funds to address that need; if you are using other funds to address that need; if other agencies in your community are addressing the need;or, if you are not addressing it because there are no funds or there is no agency or community support for addressing that need. It may be appropriate to check more than one box. 3. If the measure does not show a high need, but your agency has determined that you need to continue to use MCH funds in order to maintain the good status that the measure reflects, place a check in the"Need to Maintain Current Effort"column for that measure. Page 4 of 9 4. In the Explanation or Description for Checked Boxes column,provide a BRIEF explanation or description of the situation to explain the checked boxes. 5. Summary Statement of Need: List the Performance Measures that have a check mark under the column"Using MCH Funding" on the Performance Measure Checklist-Part II-FY07. These are the measures that you will use to write your agency's Prenatal and Child/Adolescent Operational Plan STEP 3. Writing the Operational Plans: When creating the Prenatal and Child/Adolescent Operational Plan and the CYSHCN Operational Plan your agency may select state-prepared Model Plans(composed of goals, objectives, activities,process evaluation methods and outcome evaluation methods),choosing only as many as are appropriate for the amount of MCH or HCP funds you will be receiving;your agency may write your own plans or may use a combination of state-prepared Model Plans and agency-developed plans. Please note that not all performance measures have state-prepared Model Plans developed. A. Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs(CYSHCN)Operational Plan Instructions I. For the CYSHCN Operational Plan choose state-prepared Model Plans(composed of goals, objective,activities,process evaluation methods and outcome evaluation methods)or develop your own agency plans that address priority needs and for which you checked that you will use HCP funding. Choose or write at least one plan that uses a population-based methodology. 2. For state-prepared Model Plans: a. Fill in the appropriate target(the percent or rate to be achieved)that is realistic for your agency and community. b. Choose from the listed activities and follow the sequence of the activities as presented in the Model Plan. Select only what is realistic for your agency for the year. For example, if analyzing the need is all that can be accomplished on that objective in a year's time,then select only those activities. Fill in the level of activities, i.e.,the number of meetings or number of individuals to be served,etc.,adapting the level to what will be needed to accomplish the objective that you have set. You may also want to add or adapt an activity that is determined to be more appropriate for your community based on past results or best and/or promising practice literature/research. Note: It is likely that you will use the same objectives for a number of years,but the activities or level of activities to address the objectives are likely to change annually. 3. For Agency-developed Plans: a. You may choose to use the HCP funds for agency-developed plans as long as they address priority needs of the children and youth with special health care needs population in your community as presented in the Statement of Need section of the Local CYSHCN Plan. You may also choose to use other approaches than those outlined in the prepared Model Plans by writing objectives and activities of your own. Page 5 of 9 b. Use the same standard table format as that used for the prepared Model Plans. A blank copy of the standard table format can be found at the end of the prepared Model Plans. The objectives should be measurable and time- framed;the activities should be ones that will accomplish the objective; there should be process measures explaining how your agency will check to see if you are completing the activities;and, there should be outcome evaluation measures that describe how you will evaluate whether the objective has been accomplished. B. Prenatal,and Child and Adolescent Operational Plan Instructions 1. For the Prenatal and Child/Adolescent Operational Plan choose state-prepared Model Plans composed of goals, objective,activities,process evaluation methods and outcome evaluation methods)or develop your own agency plans that address priority needs and for which you checked that you will use MCH funding. Choose or write at least one plan that uses a population-based methodology. 2. For state-prepared Model Plans: a. Fill in the appropriate target(the percent or rate to be achieved)that is realistic for your agency and community. b. Follow the sequence of the activities as presented in the Model Plan. Select only what is realistic for your agency for the year. For example, if analyzing the need is all that can be accomplished on that objective in a year's time,then select only those activities. Fill in the level of activities, i.e. the number of meetings or number of individuals to be served, etc., adapting the level to what will be needed to accomplish the objective that you have set. You may also want to add or adapt an activity that is determined to be more appropriate for your community based on past results or best and/or promising practice literature/research. Note: It is likely that you will use the same objectives for a number of years,but the activities or level of activities to address the objectives are likely to change annually. 3. For Agency-developed Plans: a. You may choose to develop other plans to address one or more of the selected needs. If you choose to do this,you should explain: • what priority need the plan is addressing, • what data or information you used to determine that this is a priority need,and • what information or experience you used to choose the activities or approach to accomplish the objective. This information may be presented in a paragraph or two preceding the agency-developed plan. b. Use the same standard table format as that used for the state-prepared Model Plans. A blank copy of the standard table format is found at the end of the prepared Model Plans. The objectives should be measurable and time-framed;the activities should be ones that will accomplish the objective;there should be process measures that are the ways you will check to see if you are completing the activities; and,there should be outcome evaluation measures that describe how you will evaluate whether the objective has been accomplished.

The Maternal and Child Health contract between local agencies and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment(CDPHE)requires needs assessment of local communities. Local public health staff are currently doing many of the following activities. The CDPHE Health Care Program for Children with Special Needs(HCP)and Public Health Nursing consultant staff will provide technical assistance, as needed in assisting local public health agencies to define which of these—or other activities— are most appropriate for addressing the needs of children with chronic illnesses and disabilities. 1. Direct Services 1.1 Seek out funding resources and work with specialty provders to establish alternative funding sources for families. 1.2 Work with health providers so that they appropriately refer families to state and local resources that can fund or discount specialty medical care services. 1.3 Offer access to SELECT specialty care through HCP Specialty Clinic program. However no direct payment for services is available through HCP. 2. Enabling Services 2.1. Conduct an initial interview with a defined population(NICU, SSI, etc.)of new families to help them determine their need for information,referral and/or care coordination using a standard tool such as the "Family Status Profile"form. 2.2. Assist families who have insurance coverage, including private insurance, CHP+and Medicaid and those in managed care plans,to understand their benefits and their disenrollment and grievance procedures. 2.3.

Determine the status of primary care and immunizations and make appropriate referrals. Work in collaboration with the EPSDT outreach worker if the child is on Medicaid to assure that EPSDT benefits have been explained and an EPSDT screen has been completed and billed. 2.5. Initiate or participate in the development of a Care Plan, IFSP(Individual Family Service Plan),or IEP(Individual Educational Plan)with the family and medical home when it has been determined that a family would benefit from care coordination. This includes a statement of the family's strengths and needs as identified by the family and strategiesfor enhancing the child's Page 1 of 5 development. Include a statement of major outcomes to be achieved by the child and family. State the criteria, procedures and time lines. Document periodic statements of progress towards meeting family goals and the need for modifications or revisions. The process for the development of a care plan, IFSP,or IEP should include all the disciplines involved with the child's care, i.e., medical home, audiologist,CHIP therapist,social worker,family advocate,OT/PT, dietitian, speech therapist, etc. 2.6. Follow-up with family according to plans written on care plan, IFSP,or IEP. Should MCP staff have no direct role in the IFSP or IEP,or are not doing care coordination,assure that a contact with each family is made at leak once a year to assure that the child and family are receiving necessary services and that the family is aware of community resources available to them. 2.7. Make home visits when appropriate. (Situations might include complex medical or surgical conditions or when resources or help can be provided relating to the home environment.) 2.8. Work in concert with the EPSDT outreach worker to review monthly listing of SSI recipients and Contact SSI families to assure that health care needs are being met. If there are needs which HCP can meet,assure that children are enrolled in the program. 2.9. Meet periodically with staff from local agencies such as social services,representatives from the Community Centered Board, mental health and special educationservices from local schools to collaborate around services to individual children and their families. 2.10.

Work with NICU Consortium contacts in hospitals to identify needs of newborns as the child prepares to leave the hospital to return to the community. Make contact with other community resources as needed. 2.12. Design and maintain a clinic structure including identifying and scheduling clinic providers, facilities,and equipment. Set clinic dates. Seek referrals by contacting local doctors,Child Find, interagency councils,and Community Center Boards to inform them of the cynics. Distribute the local HCP clinic schedule to appropriate agencies and individuals. 2.13. Organize,schedule and staff each clinic using guidelines provided in the HCP Procedure Manual. Obtains a HCP application on each child scheduled for clinic and a consent for service signed by the parent or legal guardian. Provide the clinician with Medicaid and private insurance billing information and collect clinic support fees. 2.14. Complete a Clinic Encounter Form for each clinic patient. After each cinic submit Encounter Forms,a copy of the attendance list(schedule)and the dictation to the assigned Regional Office. 2.15.

Revised June 10,2005 Page 2 of 2 Attachment A-17 HEALTH CARE PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS (HCP) Policy and Procedures for Care Coordination Services for Children and Youth with Traumatic Brain Injury October 1, 2005 - September 30, 2006 Page 1 of I 1 • HEALTH CARE PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS (HCP) Policy and Procedures for Care Coordination Services for Children and Youth with Traumatic Brain Injury October 1, 2005 - September 30, 2006 OVERVIEW OF CARE COORDINATION SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY(TBI) Traumatic Brain Injury Care Coordination is a collaborative process that assesses, plans, implements, coordinates, monitors and evaluates the options and services required to meet individuals' needs, using communication and available resources to promote quality, cost effective outcomes. TBI Care Coordination operates with an underlying premise that when individuals reach their optimal level of wellness and functional capability, everyone benefits: the individual and family being served, their community support systems, the healthcare delivery system, and insurance carriers. The primary functions of TBI Care Coordination are: A. To maximize individual and family understanding and participation through education and support. B. To advocate for individual wellness and autonomy through advocacy, communication and identification of service resources. C. To optimize access to appropriate community services. D. To integrate and coordinate service delivery by multiple sources and to prevent fragmentation of services. HCP Care Coordination Services for Traumatic Brain Injury follow HCP Policies and Procedures and are applied consistently by Care Coordinators in all HCP Regions of the state. The term "individual/family" refers to whoever has legal responsibility for the person receiving program services. This may be the parent of a minor, an emancipated youth, a guardian, a county department of social services, or another party having legal responsibility for the program participant. Page 2 of 11 IL TRAINING HCP STAFF Regional/County HCP staff/care coordinators attend training before providing care coordination services and receiving funding for TBI Care Coordination. The State HCP office will keep records of HCP staff that have completed training for TBI Care Coordination. HCP staff must participate at required HCP TBI Care Coordination training or if unable to attend must complete the following steps before providing TBI Care Coordination: A. Read provided Power Point Presentation and Handouts B. View HCP Training Video C. Read the Brainstars Manual D. Submit a completed Care Coordination Sample Plan to the Regional Office Team Leader and/or State Nursing Consultant. For review and approval. E. Discuss Questions/Concerns with the HCP Regional Office Team Leader and/or State Nursing Consultant. III. ELIGIBILITY AND REFERRAL PROCESS A. Eligibility: The Brain Injury Association of Colorado(BIAC)will perform client intake and determine eligibility for the Colorado Traumatic Brain Injury Program. Once the family is determined to be eligible the family is approved for a 12-month period of care coordination funded by the Colorado Traumatic Brain Injury Trust Fund. Eligible dates for a 12-month period beginning on the date the care coordination plan is signed. B1AC will refer eligible families/individuals under age 21 to the state HCP Office(CDPHE)for care coordination services. Families/individuals seeking program services will contact BIAC directly to begin the application process through one of the following options: 1. The family/individual contacts the Brain Injury Association of Colorado directly. 2. Families/individuals contacts the state HCP office or the HCP Regional or County Nursing Agency. The HCP office informs the family/individual that the Brain Injury Association of Colorado will complete the application process and determine eligibility for program services. The HCP office provides contact information for BIAC to the family and family contacts BIAC. 3. Family/individual contacts the state HCP office or the HCP Regional Office or County Nursing Agency. HCP contacts the Brain Injury Association of Colorado on behalf of the family/individual, and provides the family/individual's contact information so that the Brain Injury Association may contact the family/individual to begin the application process. HCP will notify BIAC within two(2) business days of its initial contact with the family/individual seeking services. Page 3 of 1 I B. Referral Process 1. The Brain Injury Association of Colorado(BIAC) refers eligible families/individuals under age 21 to State HCP office (CDPHE)for care coordination services. 2. State HCP office forwards referrals to the appropriate Regional HCP Office. 3. The Regional HCP Office forwards all referrals to the appropriate HCP County Nursing Agency. C. Wait List: Program services are subject to available funding. If the demand and need for care coordination services exceeds the available funding, state HCP office will maintain a wait list of eligible persons. 1. Wait list is maintained in order of the date of referral,and individuals shall receive program services on a first-come, first-served basis. 2. Persons are also put on the waitlist when the demand is too great for an HCP regional or county nursing office's capacity. The HCP regional or county nursing office and the state HCP office referral manager determine HCP office capacity. 3. The HCP office referral manager reviews active caseload and the number of new referrals received each month to determine if additional new referrals can be referred to Regional Offices. D. Referral Packet: The referral packet includes the signed application from the Brain Injury Association of Colorado, documentation of diagnosis and any supporting eligibility information, signed informed consents, and signed subrogation form. L The Brain Injury Association of Colorado(BIAC) sends referral packet for eligible persons to State HCP office referral manager 2. Referral manager assures completeness of referral packet contents, including signatures. 3. Referral manager forwards referral packet to the HCP regional or county office. 4. Referral manager documents the referral in the state HCP TBI database. IV. IMPLEMENTING CARE COORDINATION SERVICES A. Assignment of Care Coordinators: HCP solicits and considers the family/individual's preferences when assigning a Care Coordinator within the capacity of the HCP staff. Factors such as gender, age, culture, language, location, and hours of availability may be considered as part of this process. 1. The HCP Regional and/or County Office assigns a Care Coordinator to the family/individual. 2. Care Coordination assignments are documented in IRIS. B. Developing the Care Coordination Plan: 1. The HCP Care Coordinator and family/individual develop the care coordination plan together. The plan reflects the family/individual's own identification of service needs. The care coordination plan is not a clinical treatment plan and does not reflect clinical treatment goals or objectives. Page 4 of II In selecting specific service providers,the Care Coordinator should assist the family/individual to choose from among available providers, taking into consideration any preferences the family/individual may have concerning the service providers. Factors such as gender,age, culture, language, location, pediatric specialty, experience with children with special needs and hours of availability may be considered as part of this process. The care coordination plan identifies financial assistance programs the family/individual is receiving, or may be eligible to apply for within the community or at the State or federal level. 2. Document plan on"Health Care Program for Children with Special Needs(HCP) Care Coordination Child/Family Plan of Care" form provided by state HCP. Refer to figure#I. 3. Each outcome/goal must have a documented expected date outcome/goal is to be achieved. 4. Each outcome/goal must state specific actions/interventions in a logical sequence. 5. For every action/intervention there must be documented an assigned responsible person. 6. Evaluation of outcome goal status will be documented during and at the end of the 12-month period of care coordination services. C. Signing the Care Coordination Plan: The family/individual who receives program services must agree to the terms of the care coordination plan. 1. Family/individual signs original agreed upon care coordination plan form. 2. HCP Care Coordinator signs and initials original care coordination form and gives copy of form to family/individual. 3. Any additionally assigned HCP Care Coordinator that is involved in modifications or evaluation of the plan's status must initial and sign the original form. D. Approval of Care Coordination Plans: The Regional HCP Office and/or State HCP Office reviews and provides consultation for new care coordination plans. 1. Shortly after State HCP sends the referral packet to the HCP regional or county office, assigned State staff will contact that local office to provide consultation. 2. HCP Regional and county offices keep a hard copy of completed and signed care coordination plans on file. 3. State HCP office completes a follow up review of a monthly random sample of 25%of new care coordination plans. 4. For ongoing consultation, as needed, local offices can contact State and/or Regional office personnel. Page 5 of 11 E. Duration of Care Coordination Services: CDPHE shall provide the care coordination services included in the care coordination plan for a period of twelve(12) months from the date of signature on the completed care coordination plan. If DPHE and/or the family/individual determine that care coordination services are no longer necessary before the end of the twelve-month period, DPI-IE shall place the client on"inactive" status. If the family/individual requests and needs additional care coordination services after being placed on inactive status and before the end of the twelve-month period, DPHE shall place the client on"active" status and resume services to the family/individual. At the conclusion of the twelve-month period,DPHE shall close the individual's case. A family/individual may submit a new application for care coordination services to the Brain Injury Association of Colorado at any time. V. CLIENT RECORDS A.

However, services shall be discontinued and the client placed on"inactive" status if the individual's need for care coordination services has been met prior to the end of 12 months, or if the individual no longer qualifies for services(e.g. he/she moves out of state). Once a care coordination plan is signed,the care coordinator will send the HCP care coordination invoice(Provider)to the HCP TBI Referral Manager with a check box assuring the plan is signed. The HCP TBI Referral Manager will log the information and initiate payment process. VIII. QUALITY ASSURANCE A. The State HCP Office, in collaboration with HCP regional and county offices, completes quality improvement activities on a yearly basis. State and Regional HCP ensures that all Care Coordinators are appropriately and consistently trained, apply the policies and procedures for care coordination services, and participate in audits of care coordination care plans, client records, IRIS documentation and family satisfaction surveys. The State HCP office: 1. Evaluates the outcomes of the care coordination services provided by determining whether the quality of clients' lives have been maintained or improved as a result of receiving services. 2. Evaluates administrative processes, such as customer service,and response to appeals and grievances; and 3. Uses results of quality improvement activities to plan and improve HCP care coordination services and administrative systems. State HCP documents its quality improvement efforts and makes information on quality improvement activities and results available to clients, families and other stakeholders. Page 8 of 11 B. Customer Satisfaction Surveys: State HCP requests that families/individuals who receive program services complete a Customer Satisfaction Survey when an individual goes on "inactive status", and at the end of twelve months when the case is closed.

Colorado MOU—Subcontracting Covered Functions Rev. 3/04 Page 5 of 10 o. Safeguards During Transmission. Associate shall be responsible for using appropriate safeguards to maintain and ensure the confidentiality, privacy and security of Protected Information transmitted to CE pursuant to this MOU, in accordance with the standards and requirements of the Privacy Rule, until such Protected Information is received by the Department, and in accordance with any specifications set forth in Attachment B-1. p.

This dispute resolution mechanism is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other reporting or other requirement of federal or state law concerning alleged privacy violations. c. Reasonable Steps to Cure Breach. If the Department knows of a pattern of activity or practice of Associate that constitutes a material breach or violation of the Associate's obligations under the provisions of this MOU or another arrangement and does not terminate this MOU pursuant to Section 7(a), then the Department shall take reasonable steps to cure such breach or end such violation, as applicable. If the Department's efforts to cure such breach or end such violation are unsuccessful, the Department shall either (i) terminate this MOU, if feasible or (ii) if termination of this MOU is not feasible, the Department shall report Associate's breach or violation to the CE, the Colorado Attorney General's Office and to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. d.

If Associate elects to destroy the PHI, Associate shall certify in writing to the Department that such PHI has been destroyed. (2) If Associate believes that returning or destroying the Protected Information is not feasible, Associate shall promptly provide the Department notice of the conditions making return or destruction infeasible. Upon mutual agreement of the Department and Associate that return or destruction of Protected Information is infeasible, Associate shall continue to extend the protections of Sections 5(a), 5(b), 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e) of this MOU to such information, and shall limit further use of such PHI to those purposes that make the return or destruction of such PHI infeasible.
