Approve Data Sharing Agreement with Anthem Blue Cross and Other Partners as Necessary for Implementation of the Whole Person Care (WPC) Pilot Program.

SBC FILE NUMBER: 130



AGENDA SECTION:

CONSENT AGENDA

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:

The WPC pilot program is ramping up for full implementation and in doing so will be required by the State to have multiple data sharing and other such community partner memorandums of understanding (MOU) as are necessary to achieve the goals of the WPC program.  The attached Data Sharing Agreement with Anthem Blue Cross is the first of several agreements and MOUs that the HHSA Director will be required to sign.

 

This data will be aggregated into the WPC e-BHS software system that is cloud based and thus will not have any effect on the county data systems.

 

Other MOUs will address our Community Partners' willingness to participate in WPC and allow for activities, reporting and monetary incentives as approved by the State for our WPC program.  Due to the time sensitive nature of these documents, HHSA is requesting approval for Director's signature for these MOUs and other such documents as necessary for the implementation of WPC.
