j ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda Item No. V E ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: April 19, 1994 SUBJECT: Agreement Between the University of North Carolina Hospitals and orange county for its Health Department. DEPARTMENT: HEALTH PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: HEALTH DIRECTOR'S OFFICE X2411 Three Page Agreement TELEPHONE NUMBER: Hillsborough -732-8181 Chapel Hill -968-4501 Mebane -227-2031 Durham -688-7331 PURPOSE: To approve the renewal of an Agreement between UNC Hospitals and orange County for the Health Department through which the Hospital agrees to provide shared office space for a Maternity Care Coordinator from the Health Department. BACKGROUND: The Health Department has received ongoing Medicaid reimbursement to fund a Maternity Care Coordinator whose caseload focuses on UNC Hospital patients. This agreement, which involves no exchange of funds, assures that the health department employee has space and access to UNC Hospital patients requiring her services. Because there is no cost associated with this agreement, the need to renew it was overlooked until recently. RECOMMENDATION(S) : The Manager recommends the agreement be approved and that the Chair be authorized to sign.
