Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Health entered into contract with Supplier Six Sigma, LLC to undertake a process improvement project using the Lean methodology to improve linkage to care for new consumers to medical case management services.
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 and a need existed to improve the process. Supplier Six Sigma, LLC was contracted to manage, facilitate, and coordinate elements of a quality improvement project that seeks to increase case management standardization in the Central Ohio HIV care network using Lean principles.
This ordinance is needed to modify and increase the contract with Supplier Six Sigma, LLC in the amount of $13,225.00 for a total contract amount of $45,225.00. Additional funding is needed because at the time of the contract only a partial award for the Ryan White grant, which funds this contract, was issued. Since that time, additional Ryan White funding has been issued which allowed for funding to complete this contract. The modification amount was determined through negotiations with the vendor. 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.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so as to allow for the completion of this quality improvement project and allow full implementation as soon as possible for the Ryan White HIV care program.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this project is available within the Health Department Grants Fund.
