This document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for specialty care services in Pinellas County Health and Human Services. The document outlines the scope of work, minimum qualifications and requirements, and evaluation criteria for potential providers.
The document emphasizes the importance of the "Medical Home" concept, which is expected to provide the majority of client health and behavioral health services. However, there is a need for specialty referral for conditions that cannot be addressed by Family/Internal Medicine or are outside their scope of practice. The specialty care is expected to be short-term assessment and evaluation, with screening and intervention as needed.
Due to limited funding, the specialty care provider is required to work closely with the client's medical home provider, especially for chronic disease management. The document also mentions the need for on-site resources for ancillary services, considering transportation challenges in the community.
The specialties of particular interest for referral include Cardiology, Dermatology, Endocrinology, GI, Gynecology, Neurology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Radiology, and Urology.
The document also highlights the importance of quality/performance improvement, use of health information systems/technology, and fee structure. It mentions the need for providers to have appropriate licenses and certifications, maintain insurance certifications, and be in good standing with their respective boards.
The evaluation criteria for the proposals include approach and methodology, capability and experience, cost, and report methods. The total points for evaluation are 1000.
Additionally, the document specifies that the proposals should be submitted in a sealed envelope, with the envelope clearly indicating the RFP number, name, and address of the firm, and title.
Overall, the document provides a detailed overview of the requirements and expectations for specialty care services in Pinellas County Health and Human Services, including the submission process for proposals.
