1 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda Item No. zrat ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: May 3, 1993 SUBJECT: Extension of Permanent, Time-limited Maternity Care Coordination Position DEPARTMENT: HEALTH PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: 1 page Analysis HEALTH DIRECTORS OFFICE X2411 TELEPHONE NUMBER: Hillsborough - 732-8181 Chapel Hill - 968-4501 Mebane - 227-2031 Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: To extend a permanent, time-limited Maternity Care Coordination position to June 30, 1994. BACKGROUND: 1. On March 24, 1992, the Board of Commissioners approved a budget ordinance amendment to accept a state grant award of eight thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars ($8,750.00) to establish a temporary Maternity Care Coordinator position. 2. After the Health Department experienced difficulty filling the temporary position, the Board of Commissioners, on June 1, 1992, agreed to convert the temporary Maternity Care Coordination position to a permanent, time-limited position through June 30, 1993. The continuation of this position for FY93-94 would depend on the medicaid revenue generated by the position and the case load demand experience. 3. The grant of $8,750.00 for FY91-92 was used to pay an existing Maternity Care Coordinator funded by revenue. This allowed revenue in the amount of $8,750.00 to be carried forward into FY92-93. 4. The new, permanent, time-limited Maternity Care Coordination position was filled by Diane Simpson on July 1, 1992. 5. During the first six months the incumbent was oriented, trained and assisted in slowly building up a case load. During that time salary and fringe benefit expenditures amounted to $14,930.00. Revenue generated was $10,720.00.
