OVERVIEW:
On May 10, 2011 (1), your Board approved the Sheriff’s Department’s request to submit a grant application to the U. S. Department of Justice (USDOJ), Office of Justice Programs for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 DNA Backlog Reduction Program. On August 23, 2011, the Sheriff’s Crime Laboratory received notification from the USDOJ of a grant award in the amount of $309,000.
This is a request to authorize the Sheriff’s Department to accept the grant award and establish appropriations in the amount of $309,000 and authorize the Sheriff’s Department to do a sole source procurement for pipettors from Rainin. Pipettors transfer small, precise amounts of liquid (chemical reagents or samples) from place to place, typically from one container to another. The project period is October 1, 2011 through March 31, 2013. The acceptance of this grant award will provide the Sheriff’s Department with funds dedicated to processing, recording, screening, and analyzing forensic DNA and/or DNA database samples and increasing the capacity to process more forensic DNA samples in order to reduce the number of forensic DNA and DNA database samples awaiting analysis.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for this request are not included in the Fiscal Year 2011-12 Operational Plan for the Sheriff’s Department. If approved, this request will result in current year costs and revenue of $178,000 and Fiscal Year 2012-13 costs and revenue of $131,000. The funding source is grant revenue from the USDOJ. There will be no change in net General Fund costs and no additional staff years.

OVERVIEW:
San Diego is one of only 17 communities across the country chosen to lead the nation in advancing health information technology (health IT) through the Beacon Community Program cooperative agreement program from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The San Diego Beacon Community Program was awarded a $15.3 million grant to spur improvements in our community by fostering innovation and adoption of health IT and by reducing hospital readmission rates for high-risk and chronically ill patients through March 3l, 2013. The San Diego Beacon Community Program is led by the University of California, San Diego in collaboration with San Diego area hospitals, health systems, and health organizations.
The San Diego Beacon Community Program intends to award San Diego County $200,000 in FY2011-12 and up to $500,000 in FY2012-13 for support in connecting public health and emergency medical service programs to healthcare providers across the county in a health information exchange (HIE) system. Additionally, to reduce the rate of readmissions for high-risk, chronically ill patients at three local hospitals, the San Diego Beacon Community Program will award San Diego County $351,638 in FY 2011-12 and $395,592 in FY2012-13 for a total of $747,230 to sustain and expand the delivery of the Care Transitions Intervention (CTI) Program and may increase funding of up to an additional $1,000,000 for the initiative, if it is found to be successful.
Today’s action requests Board authorization to accept initial allocations of $551,638 from the University of California Regents System, to establish appropriations and to authorize contract extensions with Atlas Development Corporation for syndromic surveillance and with Software Partners, LLC for the San Diego Regional Immunization Registry and to administer the Care Transitions Intervention Program at area hospitals.
The Beacon Community Program supports the Building Better Health component of the Live Well, San Diego! initiative which promotes healthy, safe and thriving communities. Approval of this item will: facilitate collecting, managing, and reporting of public health information for disease control activities; improve preparedness for emerging infectious outbreaks, or other disasters impacting the health and well-being of San Diego residents; and reduce the risk of avoidable hospital readmissions for high-risk patients with chronic diseases.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for this request are not included in the Fiscal Year 2011-13 Operational Plan in the Health and Human Services Agency. If approved, this request will result in costs and revenue of $551,638 in Fiscal Year 2011-12 and costs and revenue up to an estimated amount of $1,500,000 in Fiscal Year 2012-13. The funding source is the federal government American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC).
