FACTUAL RECITALS Pursuant to section 25-1.5-101 (j)(I),C.R5.,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.RS., 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". Section 25-1-709(10(a), C.RS.,as amended, further states that"[t]he program and services of regional health departments shall include to the greatest extent possible,but not be limited to personal health services,including: maternal and child health services;program for children with disabilities". To accomplish its statutory duties,the State has determined that public health services are desirable in the Contractor's region. The United State Department of Health and Human Services MIS"),through the Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant(MCH)has awarded the State Title V federal funds under Notice of Grant Award("NGA) number B04MC02394-01-00(See,Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance("CFDA")number 93.994). 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. Page 1 of 11 Mit a/Z6- The State has formulated a comprehensive statewide plan to carry out a Maternal and Child Health Program, funded by Title V MCH dollars. As part of the comprehensive plan,it is the express intent of the state to support local public health agencies in contributing to a coordinated, efficient statewide program which focuses on specific MCH performance measures set by the MCH state and Federal agencies. 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, encourages governments to make the most efficient and effective use of their powers and responsibilities by cooperating and contracting with each other to the fullest extent possible to provide any function,service,or facility lawfully authorized to each of the cooperating or contracting entities. Section 29-1- 201,C.RS., 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. The State and the Contractor mutually agree that the most efficient and effective way to provide the above-described services is at the local level.

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. 1::'PeggyVONTRMIStPY O5\MCH-HCP Combined CmnMVbchment H-Page 2-Pyramid Defm bona.doc Page 2 of 2 , Attachment I MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH(MCH) PRIORTITES,PERFORMANCE MEASURES,AND OUTCOME MEASURES As of October 1,2003 Colorado MCH Priorities 1.

C. Relevant Data/Statistics Local Report—Goal 1, I.C.: As anticipated last year, family representation and participation with HCP has improved dramatically since the addition of Rhonda Stute as our Family Coordinator. During FY 2003 Rhonda documented 32 contacts with the community. She attended meetings with Empower Colorado,Parent to Parent(serving on their board),El Grupa Vida and Strengthening Latino Families in addition to initiating a Spanish-speaking support group for families in Greeley and the surrounding area. She made one formal presentation about the new role of HCP to Strengthening Latino Families and offered a training session on TABOR to Weld County Department of Public Health staff. During FY 2003 the Weld Neurology Clinic coordinator conducted a limited survey of families attending the transitional neurology clinic. All nine families were pleased with the services they received. A survey of foster families conducted in the spring of 2002 by the • Weld County United Way Child Coalition Intervention Committee documented the need for respite care in our county. Family Page 5 of 43 I:\MCH\mch04\Weld\WELD HERMAN.D0C(LB-PB) Connects,the Weld County Early Childhood Connections agency,conducts a family satisfaction survey every year. Results from this survey are still being tabulated. As anticipated,the MCH Indicator for CSHCN degree of Family Participation has improved dramatically. In 2002,the Weld County . score was 0/18;in 2003 the score was 1/18 and in 2003, following the employment of Rhonda Stute,the score rose to 18/18. Due May 1, 2004 GOAL 1: Families of CSHCN will partner in decision-making at all levels and will be satisfied with the services they receive. D.

Because the current support group in Eaton is at capacity,a 2n°monthly support group for English-speaking families will be established by May I, 2004. Local Report—Goal 1,I.E.: Write in progress toward outcome measures for MCH 2004 Plan: To date,only two Parent Newsletters have been drafted and sent to families—one was released in December of 2002 and one was released in January 2004. English and Spanish versions were available for both newsletters. This does not meet our current goal of one newsletter each quarter. It has been difficult to carve out the time necessary for Rhonda to draft these publications because of her other active roles on the team. She is currently working on a new publication which should be ready for release later this month. The Spanish-speaking parent support group was established in March 2003,well ahead of the deadline of January 1,2004. With the exception of August 2003,the group has met on a monthly basis. An English-speaking parent support group sponsored by HCP has not been established as of yet. The initiation of the Weld County Respite Project with heavy involvement of both English and Spanish speaking families has taken priority. On January 30,2004 the Weld County HCP team hosted the first Family to Family Health Information Network training held in the state of Colorado! While notification of the training was sent to every family enrolled in HCP and Part C services in Weld County,the majority of participants were professionals. Several parents did attend and reported the conference as highly valuable to them. Should the training be offered in Weld County in the future,more extensive advertisement will be done.

Local Report—Goal 2,I.B.: Write in final report of outcome measures for MCH 2004 Plan: Due May 1, 2004 GOAL 2: All children with special health care needs will receive regular,ongoing comprehensive care within a medical home. C. Relevant Data/Statistics Guidance on Statistics to Include: • * IRIS Report#24-Medical Home Summary. Number and percent of children on HCP caseload who have a Medical Home. • * IRIS Report# 30-Concern Report by age. Number and percent of children on HCP caseload who have Primary Care Needs/Medical Home as a concern. • * IRIS Report#31A, number of children in the HCP program who receive care coordination for any concern. • Evidence of the availability of primary care to children in your county(ies),such as average waiting times to be seen for well-child/ preventive care in private practices and FQHC community health clinics and whether your area is designated as a high need area for primary care. Page 10 of 43 I:\MCH\mch04\Weld\WELD HERMAN.DOC(LB-PB) • Local Report-Goal 2,LC.: According to IRIS Report#24,only one child out of the 386(0.3%)enrolled in HCP through the Weld County Regional Office has a . medical home which meets all four criteria as defined by the Colorado Medical Home Initiative. On a brighter note,280 children (72.4%)indicate they seek medical care from a consistent primary care provider. IRIS Report#30 indicates that 24 clients had primary care/medical home listed as a concern. Because the total county caseload varies widely among IRIS reports, it is difficult to identify what percentage of the overall caseload these children represent. For the purposes of this report, the total number of children will be considered to be 386; therefore,approximately 6%of the caseload had primary care/medical home listed as a concern at some point during FY 2003. Many of these children were new to the area and needed assistance in establishing a primary care provider. A glance at the list of children still showing this concern as unresolved indicates that the care coordinators are not being diligent in updating IRIS when a concern has been resolved.•This skews the data and will be addressed during the remainder of FY 04. Weld County does not have any areas designated as high need for primary care providers. An unofficial survey of the three FQHC's in Weld(Sunrise,Monfort Children's Clinic and Ft. Lupton Salud)indicate that most children will be seen the same day or the next day at the latest. Private family practices indicate they can usually see clients within one or two days. Private pediatric practices stated they can sometimes see children the same or next day,but the wait can be as long as a week. Due May 1, 2004 GOAL 2: All children with special health care needs will receive regular,ongoing comprehensive care within•a medical home. D. Other Regional Activities and Resources Guidance on Information to Include: • Community collaborations or initiatives related to the Medical Home,such as collaboration with Part C regarding Physician Outreach • Outreach activities geared toward key stakeholders, including families and primary care providers, about the medical home concept and providing primary care to CSHCN • The agency or coalition that is taking the lead on medical home efforts in your county(ies)and the role of your agency. • How HCP care coordination services promote the medical home concept Local Report-Goal 2,I.D.: There have been no formal community collaborations or initiatives related to Medical Home in Weld County to date. Discussions around joint presentations to primary care providers have been held with Part C,but no action has been taken to date. No formal outreach activities have been initiated. No agency has taken the lead on this issue,although HCP is poised to assume this role in the future. All members of the HCP interdisciplinary team promote the concept of medical home as opportunities arise in the community. Care coordinators work closely with primary care providers. One example of this is the close relationship between the Neurology Clinic care coordinator,Dr. Reiley and individual primary care providers. PCPs are invited to attend appointments with their patients,notified of any Page 11 of 43 I:\MCH\mch04\Weld\WELD HERMAN.DOC(LB-PB) immediate needs by phone call or a letter immediately following clinic and receive a written copy of Dr. Reiley's dictation. One family practice physician actually attended clinic with his patient and family.

Local Report-Goal 3,I.C.: IRIS Report#14 indicates that a total of 35 children had no insurance or were HCP-RQD during FY 2003. 77 children(19.9%of the caseload)had SSI during FY 2003 according to the data from IRIS report#26. Report#30 indicates 103 children(26.7%of the caseload)have insurance concerns. Page 16 of 43 I:\MCH\mch04\Weld\WELD HERMAN.DOC(LB-PB) Use of the referral screen by HCP care coordinators and team members has been very limited.

Local Report—Goal 3,I.D.: All agencies in Weld County continue to work hard to assure that children with special needs have adequate health insurance. The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment continues to serve as a SED site,although CHP+no longer pays to staff an outreach worker here.

Continue current activities as described. Local Report—Goal 3, I.E.: Write in progress toward outcome measures for MCH 2004 Plan: The efforts that were successful in previous years have not weathered the storm of a faltering economy and state budget cuts. In FY 2003 35 children(9%of the total caseload)were self-pay or depended on HCP to assist them with medical expenses. All 11 children who received HCP only benefits during FY 2003 closed prior to June 15, 2003. In the first half of FY 2004 the number of children without insurance rose to 74(25%of the caseload)an increase of 278%. Page 17 of 43 1:\MCH\mch04\Weld\WELD HERMAN.DOC(LB-PB) Families applying for Medicaid benefits in Weld County must now wait between 2 and 6 months for their application to be processed. Weld EPSDT outreach workers believe this backlog can be attributed to a rise in the number of applications,funding constraints which prohibit the hiring of additional staff and Medicaid's decision to give first priority to applications from pregnant women. The cap on CHP+enrollees has prevented families falling off of Medicaid from submitting their applications. Three HCP staff and two EPSDT outreach workers attended the HIFA Waiver Public Forum in Ft. Collins on December 11,2003. The percentage of the caseload enrolled in SSI has remained steady at about 20%. Families continue to wrestle with the laborious process of documenting their need to continue receive SSI and HCP staff continue to assist with applications,renewals and providing medical information as we are able under the restrictions of HIPAA. One local family recently lost benefits when the father received a lump sum disability settlement for an injury that will prevent him from working at all. The family had just made the difficult decision to proceed with a vagal nerve stimulator implant to control their child's intractable seizures and is now forced to postpone the surgery until funding or insurance can be established. The Weld County HCP Emergency Fund has been used to assist uninsured children with special needs with their most pressing medical needs. Unfortunately,the Greeley Realtors Association is not planning on hosting their annual Bowl-a-thon event this year. The funds left over from last year will need to be stretched until summer 2005.

Due May 1, 2004 GOAL 4: All children will be screened early and continuously for special health care needs D. Other Regional Activities and Resources Guidance/Recommendations to Include: • Participation of your agency or others in CDPHE's early vision screening project and results of any screening efforts conducted in your county(ies)e.g. numbers screened,referral rate,follow up outcomes. • Local Child Find activities related to developmental screening and your agency's role. • Local EPSDT activities related to assuring access to well-child check ups for CSHCN with Medicaid and your agencies role. • How infants identified by CRCSN in your county(ies)are being monitored for special health care needs and developmental delays. Results of your monitoring efforts. • Training efforts that may have occurred in your county(ies)related to the importance of screening,appropriate screening tools,and best practices for vision,hearing,developmental,behavioral,mental health,oral health,or metabolic screening. • Within the HCP Sponsored Specialty Clinic(s)held in your county(ies), any regular screenings and follow up practices that take place beyond the specialty medical assessments that are conducted. Local Report—Goal 4,I.D.: The Weld Regional Office has not participated in CDPHE's early vision screening project this year. Child Find coordination shifted successfully from Part C to individual school districts in the county. Currently seven school districts hold family fairs and screening activities. HCP care coordinators continue to make the initial referral to Grace Bean at Family Connects and she forwards the referral to the appropriate school contact person. Page 21 of 43 I:\MCH\mch04\Weld\WELD HERMAN.DOC(LB-PB) The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment continues to operate as a SED site for Medicaid,with two EPSDT outreach workers stationed in our nursing division. The relationship between HCP and EPSDT is excellent,with collaboration working . in both directions. EPSDT personnel are able to verify type of Medicaid coverage and eligibility spans(as their data system allows)and HCP staff assist with EPSDT contacts for children enrolled in the HCP program. The two Weld EPSDT outreach workers handle a very large caseload,but Health Care Policy and Finance has prohibited their sharing of numbers for the purposes of this report. Prior to January 1, 2004 the CRCSN referrals were made to Family Connects,our local Part C agency. Follow-up was done by sending out a letter and waiting for the family to respond. Referrals to HCP were rarely if ever made. No formal trainings related specifically to screening topics occurred in Weld County during FY 2003. No screening programs are associated with the HCP Neurology Clinic,the only specialty clinic currently being held in Weld County. A fledgling attempt to re-establish the Developmental Evaluation Clinic system in Greeley was begun in FY 2003. • Due May 1, 2004 GOAL 4: All children will be screened early and continuously for special health care needs E.

Local Report—Goal 4,I.E.: Write in progress toward outcome measures for MCH 2004 Plan: The Weld County hearing screening rate of 96.8%continues to exceed the HP 2010 benchmark of 95% set as the Colorado FY 2005 goal. Deanna Meinke, Regional Audiology Coordinator,has done an excellent job of working with North Colorado Medical Center to make this program successful. The local HCP team is gradually taking over the follow up for infants that have been identified by the - Colorado Newborn Hearing Screening Program. This responsibility recently began in March,and the team is still working to determine how this process can be efficiently accomplished. Currently,the team leader and regional audiologist are working together to contact and follow up on the handful of children that have been identified since the beginning of 2004. Page 22 of 43 I:\MCH\mch04\Weld\WELD HERMAN.DOC(LB-PB) Tiffany Daley, OT has just agreed to become the Weld County Regional Office Vision Coordinator. She has a special interest in vision issues and is a welcome addition to our staff. She will begin exploring the range of screening efforts in our county during the 2"d half of FY 2004. . The Weld County Regional Office assumed responsibility for following up on the CRCSN notifications as of January 1,2004. In January, the referral list began coming directly to the Weld County HCP Regional Office. Follow-up has been slow to date because of staff limitations. The recent addition of a 0.25 FTE RN care coordinator should help to eliminate this difficulty. HCP will work closely with Part C to make sure that all families identified have been made aware of the services available to them. Resumption of the D &E clinic has been frustrating for members of the HCP team. No one in the regional office has been notified prior to the two trial clinics that have been held in the last year. Furthermore, HCP regional consultants who have been asked to staff these clinics as part of their other job responsibilities report that the clinics have been disorganized and frustrating for the families and pediatricians. On January 16,2004 Paula Hudson attended a meeting of the HCP Regional Coordinators to discuss D&E clinics with the team and the two local D &E coordinators. At that time,it was determined that North Colorado Medical Center is still waiting to receive signed contracts from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and that 4 clinics would be scheduled for calendar year 2004. No further word has been received regarding these clinics.

By July 1,2003,formalize draft Memorandum of Understanding improve collaboration between Part C(Family Connects)and between HCP and Part C. HCP. 2. By end of FY 2004,HCP collaboration with Part C will improve as evidenced by: • CRCSN report will be shared with HCP Regional Office on a monthly basis. • At least one HCP Care Coordinator will become trained as a Part C service coordinator. • An HCP Care Coordinator will be the lead service coordinator for all infants and toddlers with complex medical conditions eligible for Part C services. • HCP Care Coordinators will be advised of IFSP meetings for all children dually enrolled in HCP and Part C. HCP Care Coordinators will document their participation in this process appropriately in IRIS. 3. HCP Care Coordinators will receive training on the IRIS referral screen by 10/01/2003. All community referrals will be entered into IRIS on a consistent basis during FY 2004. Local Report—Goal 5,I.B.: Write in progress toward outcome measures for MCH 2004 Plan: Page 27 of 43 I:\MCH\mch04\Weld\WELD HERMAN.DOC(LB-PB) Due May 1, 2004 GOAL 5: Community based service systems for CSHCN and their families will be organized for easy use. • C. Relevant Data/Statistics Guidance • * IRIS Report#31A,number of children in the HCP program who receive care coordination for any concern. (Same as Goal 2,LC.) • * IRIS report#57C. Numbers of families referred to other community agencies,the agencies to which they were referred,and the number of referrals completed. • * IRIS report#31 B. Frequency of occurrence of the top five concerns for which care coordination was provided among HCP Caseload. • * IRIS report#62. Total number and type of community encounters. * IRIS Reports for HERMAN are to be for the date range of 10/1/02 through 9/30/03,for children 0-21,and for current caseload for date range unless otherwise stated. Multi-county Regional Offices are to report Regional Totals and County Subtotals as appropriate. You may request assistance for running reports through the IRIS HOT LINE# 1-800-886-7689 x2383. Local Report of what the data above means to you. Goal 5,I.C.: IRIS Report 31A seems of limited use in defining the number of children receiving care coordination for any concern as statistics are entered according to the individual concerns. There is no way to determine whether every child is receiving care coordination for at least one concern. In Weld County a child enrolled in the HCP program is enrolled in order to receive care coordination at some level. It can therefore be assumed that 100%of the caseload is receiving care coordination. IRIS Report#57C is only able to retrieve data for one client individually. It is not a summary report for the entire caseload The top 6 concerns for the HCP caseload were Administrative Activity(99.3%), Health Medical Needs—Child(88.1%),Other(63.7%), Insurance (59.7%), Communication(50.5%)and Dental Care(30.2%). IRIS Report#62 indicates that 82 Community Encounters were made during FY 2003. 51%of the encounters were meetings,24% phone calls, approximately 10%trainings, 5%presentations and the remainder were correspondence and community screenings. The top 3 reasons for these contacts were Outreach,Professional Development and Capacity Building.

Other Regional Activities and Resources Guidance/Recommendations to Include: • Community interagency coalitions that are working to build a better system of service for CSHCN . • Evidence of successful collaborations or gaps in collaboration among agencies in your communities • Formal or informal agreements and collaborations between your agency and local Part C agencies and school districts in your county(ies) Local Report—Goal 5,I.D.: The Early Childhood Connections Advisory Council continues to meet on a monthly basis with representation from several county Child Finds,Head Start, Department of Social Services,Part C,Envision—the Community-Center Board(CCB)and public health(HCP). Part C and the CCB work well together to provide services to children eligible for Part C early intervention services,sharing funding streams to help assure that families are able to access the services they need. Family Connects continues to work on a general memorandum of understanding between themselves and other agencies in the community. The MOU remains in draft form. During FY 2003,one school nurse in Weld County District#6(Greeley)has consistently included HCP care coordinators in IEP reviews for children enrolled in the schools she serves. Page 29 of 43 1:\MCH\mch04\Weld\WELD HERMAN.DOC(LB-PB) Due May 1, 2004 GOAL 5: Community based service systems for CSHCN and their families will be organized for easy use. E. Progress on Activities Selected in MCH 2004 Plan (Activities for 2004 Plan that fit under these Goals) Activity Evaluation—Outcome Measures Copy in selected activity from MCH 2004 Plan Copy in selected evaluation-outcome measures from MCH 2004 Plan During FY 2004, the Weld County Regional HCP Office will 1. By July 1,2003, formalize draft Memorandum of Understanding improve collaboration between Part C(Family Connects)and between HCP and Part C. HCP. 2. By end of FY 2004,HCP collaboration with Part C will improve as evidenced by: • CRCSN report will be shared with HCP Regional Office on a monthly basis. • At least one HCP Care Coordinator will become trained as a Part C service coordinator. • An HCP Care Coordinator will be the lead service coordinator for all infants and toddlers with complex medical conditions eligible for Part C services. • HCP Care Coordinators will be advised of IFSP meetings for all children dually enrolled in HCP and Part C. HCP Care Coordinators will document their participation in this process appropriately in IRIS. 3. HCP Care Coordinators will receive training on the IRIS referral screen by 10/01/2003. All community referrals will be entered into IRIS on a consistent basis during FY 2004. Local Report—Goal 5, I.E.: Write in progress toward outcome measures for MCH 2004 Plan: The Memorandum of Understanding with Family Connects(Part C) is still in draft form at this time. It will continue to be a priority for completion by the end of this fiscal year. CRCSN reports are now being received and followed up on by HCP staff. This process began in January 2004 and the procedure is still being developed. Janis Pottoroff was to have provided Part C service coordination training in January. Due to large caseloads and changes in staff,this has not been accomplished. The failure to refer medically involved infants and toddlers to HCP continues to be of great concern to the HCP team. HCP care coordinators are rarely included in the IFSP process. It is hoped the MOU will delineate referral guidelines and a standard procedure for making these referrals. The goal for improved collaboration remains the end of FY 2004. Training for use of the IRIS referral screen was held on April 26,2004. Use of this screen should improve during the 2nd half of FY 2004. Page 30 of 43 I:\MCH\mch04\Weld\WELD HERMAN.DOC(LB-PB) The top five concerns for care coordination in FY 2004 remain exactly the same as FY 2003. It is concerning that the"Other"concern is used so frequently. The HCP team leader will work with care coordinators to eliminate the use of this option as it is impossible to quantify the situations it covers. In October 2003,the HCP team was eligible to receive $13,729 from the state to use on a project of their choosing. Because respite care in Weld County is desperately needed, the team chose to look into replicating Alamosa's Adventure Center. The team attended the training sponsored by HCP on October 17,2003 and decided if one mom could do it in Alamosa,a whole team could certainly be successful in Weld County! The team began meeting monthly in January,researching other respite programs, state licensing requirements,the scope of services available in Weld County and anything else they could think of. Field trips were taken to Greeley's Eldergarden, Centennial Developmental Services, Inc. and the Ft. Collins Respite Care Inc. The following vision and mission statements were developed by the end of January: Vision Statement: To establish accessible,community-based respite care in Weld County available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for families of children with special needs. Mission Statement: The mission of this parent-driven program is to assist in the development of temporary,specialized child care one Saturday per month for families of children with special needs to provide relief from the ongoing responsibilities of caring for their children. A bilingual power point presentation and flyer were developed and presented to the staff at the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment on February 10, 2004. A community informational meeting was then held on February 17,2004. Because the majority of families planning to attend were monolingual Spanish speaking,the presentation was made in Spanish with interpretation into English—a new experience for everyone involved! Interested parents volunteered and a parent advisory council was formed. This group began meeting in early March and community interest and involvement has been overwhelming. The University of Northern Colorado Schools of Nursing and Special Education have committed to recruiting student volunteers and are making connections with other departments to promote the program and recruit more volunteers. Envision,the Boys and Girls Club and United Way are also actively involved. A board of directors has been formed and will begin to meet in May. Target date for the first trial run of the respite program is July 10,2004. This project has become a great example of the power of community collaboration.

Local Report—Goal 6,I.E.: Write in progress toward outcome measures for MCH 2004 Plan: There has been very little work done toward these outcome measures during the first half of FY 2004 due to the amount of time spent on the respite project. The team is aware of the importance of transition planning and has attempted to assist one or two families with their planning efforts,but a full scale implementation has not been attempted. Centennial BOCES, serving Weld County School Districts RE-1, RE-2, RE-5J,RE-7,RE-9,RE-10, RE-11,RE-12 and Weld Opportunity High School, has a School to Work Alliance Program(S.W.A.P.) in place. This program assists young adults,ages 16-25 with mild to moderate disabilities,develop and follow a career path to employment. The program strives to place young adults in to jobs related to their interests,teaches basic employment skills and supports employers during the initial placement period and for the following year. Rhonda Stute has attended five transition trainings sponsored by the ARC of Denver. She will be presenting information to the Weld Regional team later this year. In addition,a parent has agreed to speak to the group about the information she has gathered while working through the systems with her 18 year old son.

Continue current activities as described. Local Report—Goal 7, I.E.: Write in progress toward outcome measures for MCH 2004 Plan: It was difficult to predict the effect of the loss of direct services on this year's caseload. While the overall caseload decreased following the transfer of the Orthodontia and Hearing Aid programs back to Medicaid,the caseload has gradually been increasing over the first 6 months of FY 2004. Recent referrals are coming from all sectors of the community. With the added workload of the respite project and CRCSN notifications, management has begun a discussion about limiting the number of children the Weld HCP program can enroll. Care coordinators and team members are having difficulty providing care coordination for all children within the standards they have set while attempting to provide population based services and expand the infrastructure in Weld County. The percentage of the caseload with high or moderate acuity levels has increased from 34 in FY 2003 to 40 in the first half of FY 2004. During the 2"d half of the year, Page 42 of 43 1:\MCH\mch04\Weld\WELD HERMAN.DOC(LB-PB) the team leader and Child Health Supervisor will be looking at the overall caseload to determine how to best manage this increased workload.

Local Report-Goal 7, II. (SEE THE CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS (CSHCN)CHECKLIST): The increased funding along with the one time funding for a special grant have freed the HCP team to provide more support for families in Weld County.

The information in this document provides guidance for the development of the Local MCH Plan due on or before May 1,2005. Please put the following information at the beginning of the report or on a cover page: 1. Title the Report:"Local MCH Plan for FY06" 2. Agency Name 3. Contact Person 4. Contact's Telephone Number 5. A Listing of the Topical Areas for Which the Goals and Objectives Are Written for example: "Reduce Low Birth Weight—Adequate Weight Gain" "Reduce Child Injury-Car Seats and Booster Seats" `Improved Perinatal Outcomes—First Trimester Care" "Increase Breastfeeding Initiation" Please submit the Local MCH Plan for Federal FY 06 for the period of October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006,via e-mail to the state MCH office,no later than 5:00 P.M. on May 1, 2005 to: Jan Reimer—E-mail Address: ian.reimer( state.co.us Page 1 of 6 Local MCH Plan for FY 06 In the Local MCH Plan the district/county public health agency is asked to assess and prioritize the health status needs of the Perinatal Population,the Child and Adolescent Population and the Children with Special Health Care Needs Population(CSHCN)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 the needs should also be assessed and considered in establishing the priorities to be addressed with the MCH funding. Local public health agencies are encouraged to collaborate with public and private partners in the development of the Maternal and Child Health Plans. It is the intention of MCH federal and state funded agencies to decrease, ova time,the provision of basic health services to individuals using MCH monies and to increase enabling,population-based and infrastructure building activities. The contractor's decision to provide, or not provide,direct patient care services should be based on an assessment of the capacity of the community's public and private providers to meet the direct health care needs of its'perinatal and child/adolescent populations and with the approval of the State. 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. Colorado has identified ten MCH priorities to be addressed with MCH Block Grant funding. The services or activities provided under the MCH funding should be responsive to one or more of the priorities. There is no ranking of the ten priorities. They are as follows: o Reduce teen pregnancy and unintended pregnancy in women of all ages. o Improve perinatal outcomes. o Reduce child and adolescent morbidity and increase health and safety in childcare settings. o Reduce overweight among children and adolescents,addressing physical activity and nutritional habits. o Improve efforts to reduce unintentional and intentional injury, addressing motor vehicle crashes,suicide, child abuse and other violence. o Improve immunization rates for all children. o Increase access to health care(including behavioral health care). o Improve state and local infrastructure by increasing capacity to analyze data,carry out evaluations, develop quality standards,and assure availability of services to all children,including children with special health care needs. o Reduce substance abuse(alcohol,tobacco, and drugs). o Improve oral health and access to oral health care. Page 2 of 6 A Statement of Need: For the Statement of Need Section of your MCH Plan,complete the Performance Measure Checklist to assess and present the priority needs for which your agency will use the MCH funding for all three MCH populations. B. Operational Plans for Painatal and Child/Adolescent populations:. (The Operational Plan and its attachments will become an attachment to the FY06 MCH-HCP Contract) The Operational Plan section shall describe the activities or services to be carried out,under the funding provided by this contractual agreement. These services and activities shall be designed to address unmet or emerging health care needs of the community. These services and activities may include the provision of direct health care services;information and referral services;follow up services;case management services; injury or disease prevention activities;or health promotion activities. These services and activities may also include projects designed to build the Contractor's or the local community's infrastructure,whichever is appropriate,for effective health status improvement. These infrastructure-building activities may include the creation of a community planning structure to develop needed health care resources or carrying out further needs assessment. 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 Plan section shall present 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 templates of objectives and activities prepared by the State,if such prepared templates address needs identified as priorities for the Contractor's community in the Statement of Need Section. The objectives and activities of the prepared templates shall be adapted to be reasonable and appropriate for the needs and capacity of the agency. C. Using the MCH Performance Measures Checklist for the Statement of Need The checklist is 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. There are a few additional measures on the checklist. They include original performance measures that are no longer reported to the MCH Bureau if we have been able to continue to track than and some new oral health measures that now have county- level data Complete the cover page at the beginning of the report by providing the following information: 1. Tide the Report: "Local MCH Plan for FY 06 2. Agency Name 3. Contact Person 4. Contact's Telephone Number 5. A Listing of the Topical Areas for Which the Templates are Selected or Agency-Written Goal and Objective Templates are Provided Page 3 of 6 Step-By-Step Instructions: The measures are grouped by CSHCN Measures,Adolescent Health Measures,Child Health Measures, Infant Health Measures, Oral Health Measures and Perinatal Health Measures. The first seven measures,on the first two pages,of the checklist are the measures that address the Children with Special Health Care Needs(CSHCN)Goals. The Program will still need to complete and submit the HERMAN Document. The CSHCN measures are all nationally set as the measures for the goals for CSHCN programs. It is given,then,that these measures are for priority needs,so local programs will not have to decide whether each is a priority or not. 1. CSHCN Programs will complete the CSHCN Checklist as part of the Statement of Need and submit it with the HERMAN document to their HCP Program Consultant. Follow steps A, B,C& D in Attachment Y,"HERMAN Document Instructions for MCH/CSHCN Plan for FY06"to complete ALL the requirements for the Statement of Need. 2. To complete the Checklist,check the appropriate box under the Priority Need section to explain if and how that measure will be addressed. A rank column is provided just for the CSHCN measures. Local programs are asked to rank the six(6)measures from one(I)to six(6),to indicate the relative priority that they are giving the measures. (One would be the highest rank) 3. In the Explanation Box,provide a brief explanation of what the check mark means. After the CSHCN Section the measures on the Checklist are in the same order in which they are presented in each county's"Maternal and Child County Profile". The checklists have been pre-populated with the data that is provided in the county profiles,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. Refer to the Profiles,also, for a description of the source of information for the data and how the rates that are reported were determined. The"Trends in MCH Performance Measures"document for each county is also included. These documents were prepared in 2003,after four years of county level data for the MCH Performance Measures had been collected. They analyze your agency's performance for each measure for which county-level data are available relative to the state as a whole and relative to the state goal for 2005 and the HP2010 goal,if applicable. To complete the next section of the checklist: 1. Decide if this measure indicates this is a priority need. Refer to the'Trends in MCH Performance Measures"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". Any of these designations would mean this is a priority need. 2. For the measures that show a priority need, check one of the boxes under the Priority Need Heading 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 of addressing that need. It may be appropriate to check more than one box. 3. For the measures that show the need is not a priority for your agency because the goal is already met for that county,simply check under the"Not a Priority Need"Heading. 4 If it is not a priority need,but your agency has determined that you need to continue to use MCH fiords in order to maintain the good status that the measure reflects, check under the Need to Maintain Current Effort heading. 5. Provide a BRIEF explanation or description of the situation to explain the checked boxes. Page 4 of 6 D. Using the Templates for the Operational Plan You may select state-prepared model goals,objective and activities,choosing as many as are appropriate for the amount of MCH block grant funds you will be receiving.You may use a combination of state- prepared models and agency-developed goals and objectives. Please note that not all performance measures have models developed. Step-by-Step Instructions: 1. For the CSHCN Operational Plan, follow Steps E,F,&G in Attachment Y, "HERMAN Document Instructions for MCH/CSHCN Plan for FY06". 2. For the MCH Operational Plan for the Child and Adolescent and the Perinatal populations, complete the Cover Page for the Operational Plan for 2005-2006. Choose templates that address priority needs as presented in the Statement of Need Section,and for which you checked that you plan to use MCH funding. 3. For state-prepared model goals and objectives: 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 template. 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. 4. For Agency-developed objectives and activities: a You may choose to use the MCH grant finds for other objectives to meet priority needs of the maternal-child populations in your community or to use other approaches than those outlined in the prepared templates by writing objectives and activities of your own. b. If you choose to do this,you should explain: • what priority need the objective(s)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.

Overviewof Care Coordination Services For Children and Youth With Traumatic Brain Iniury(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: i) To maximize individual and family understanding and participation through education and support. ii) To advocate for individual wellness and autonomy through advocacy, communication and identification of service resources. iii) To optimize access to appropriate community services. iv) 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 12 H. 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 who 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: i) Read provided Power Point Presentation and Handouts ii) View HCP Training Video iii) Read the Brainstars Manual iv) Submit a completed Care Coordination Sample Plan to the Regional Office Team Leader and/or State Nursing Consultant. For review and approval. v) Discuss Questions/Concerns with the HCP Regional Office Team Leader and/or State Nursing Consultant M. Eligibility and Referral Process 1. 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. BIAC 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: A) The family/individual contacts the Brain Injury Association of Colorado directly. B) 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. C) 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 12 2. Referral Process A) BIAC refers eligible families/individuals under age 21 to State HCP office (CDPHE) for care coordination services. B) State HCP office forwards referrals to the appropriate Regional HCP Office. C) The Regional HCP Office forwards all referrals to the appropriate HCP County Nursing Agency. 3.
