Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) purchased six dedicated beds at a client-centered, accessible, quality, affordable inpatient psychiatric service center that is available to the County for patient placement without wait times. North Valley Behavioral Health operates two multidisciplinary inpatient Psychiatric Health Facilities in Yuba City, California. The programs provide patient-centered with a “Patient’s First” philosophical approach and guided by a multidisciplinary team that provides individualized pharmacological, therapeutic, and rehabilitative interventions in a safe and secure environment. Eligible clients are Yolo County residents who are 18 years or older with serious mental illness (SMI), who are deemed in need of the highest level of care provided in a non-state (local) hospital like facility. With the purchase of the six dedicated beds, the County is able to collaborate with a consistent provider of intensive, supportive inpatient care, with the goals of decreasing overall hospitalization length of stay and improving client outcomes.
Services are available in a 24-hour care, non-state hospital like setting to referred adults who:
1) require intervention for psychiatric crisis/episode or other acute mental health problems; and
2) have physical health needs that can be met by an affiliated hospital or in an outpatient setting.
The services provided by North Valley Behavioral Health are billable to Medi-Cal and are therefore a more cost-effective option than free-standing psychiatric hospitals.
Staff recommends approval of this amendment to pay pending invoices for FY2021-22 and allow for the continuation of these vital services.
Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows:
Performance measures were included in Agreement No. PO 4077 and are not being changed by this amendment.
