  24. Comparing Contract Distribution

  25. Comparing Funding Distribution *Post Aug 2010

  26. A Unified Testing Effort? • 9 separate contract families result in significant overlap • Overlap in targeted populations (risk groups) • Agencies targeting same populations in same neighborhoods creates “competition” • Overlap in funded agencies • Roughly 1/3 of funded agencies have >1 contract • Agencies use different contracts to fund the same activities at different times • Creates greater administrative and reporting burden for agencies

  27. A Unified Testing Effort? • Different contract structures with different payment points and different reimbursement rates fuels differences in performance • Before mid-2010 • Prevention paid for testing, confirmation & linkage • EIS/ESC paid for testing & linkage • HRR paid for testing • Only EIS/ESC paid for linkage of “known positives”

  28. One City, One Plan • Propose a joint RFP for Ryan White- & Prevention-funded contracts • Advantages: • Enables Planning Council to support one unified testing plan for the entire city • Allows agencies to submit only one application • Enables agencies to plan, propose & manage a single comprehensive testing program • Reduces administrative burden and reporting burden for agencies • Provides consistent reimbursement structure

  29. One City, One Plan • Advantages, con’t: • Enables DOHMH to better coordinate funding, ensuring that all target groups and all areas of the city are covered by both CBOs & hospitals/CHCs • Reduces administrative burden for DOHMH
