BACKGROUND:
The Ryan White Program has been awarded funding from the Ohio Development Services Agency to undertake process improvement projects using the Lean methodology.
As the HIV System of Care has evolved and become more complex, the process of linking new consumers to medical case management has become significantly more complex. A need exists to improve the process.
This ordinance authorizes the Board of Health to enter into contract in the amount of $32,000.00 with Supplier Six Sigma, a LEANOhio approved consultant; to manage, facilitate, and coordinate elements of a quality improvement program that seeks to increase case management standardization in the Central Ohio HIV care network using Lean principles. These services were advertised through vendor services (SA006128) in November, 2015.
The contract compliance number for Supplier Six Sigma, LLC is 011291 and is good through October 28, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this project is available within the Health Department Grants Fund.
