Scope of Services:
Since 1986, the California Department of State Hospitals (previously the Department of Mental Health) (DSH) has provided funding for the Conditional Release Program (CONREP). The purpose of this program is to provide court mandated treatment and supervision and to evaluate and submit recommendations to the court for judicially committed persons. Currently, Orange County CONREP evaluates biannually approximately 200 patients in the Forensic State Hospital system not yet released, and supervises and provides treatment for 50 individuals in the community. Additionally, CONREP completes court-ordered Incompetency to Stand Trial evaluations.
On May 3, 2021, HCA received Standard Agreement Number 21-78005-000 in the amount of $3,335,387 for the period of July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2023.
The agreement contains an indemnification provision that differs from the County's standard of sole indemnification that requires the County to indemnify and hold harmless DSH against general claims for injury and damages by a third party. County Executive Office/Office of Risk Management has reviewed and found the sole indemnification to be acceptable since the County is the service provider.
The Health Care Agency requests the Board approve the Standard Agreement for CONREP with the DSH as referenced in the Recommended Actions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Revenue for this Agreement is included in Budget Control 042 in FY 2021-22 Budget and will be included in the budgeting process for future year.
