EXECUTIVE ORDER 12372 Effective September 30,1983. Executive Order 12372 (Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs) directed OMB to abolish OMB Circular A-95 and es1ablish a new process for consulting with State and local elected officials on proposed Federal financial assistance. The Department of Health and Human Services implemented the Executive Order through regulations at 45 CFR Part 100 (Inler-governmental Review of Department of Health and Human Services Programs and Activities). The Objectives of the Executive Order are to (1) increase Slate flexibility to design a consultation process and select the programs it wishes to review, (2) increase the ability of State and local elected offICials to inlluence Federal decisions and (3) compel Federal officials to be responsive to State concerns. or explain the reasons. The regulations at 45 CFR Part 100 were published in Federal Registeron June 24, 1983, along with 8 notice identifying the Department's programs that are subject to the provisions of Executive Order 12372. Information regarding PHS programs subject to Executive Order 12372 Is also available from the appropriate awarding office. Stales participating in this program establish State Single Points of Contact (SPOCs) to coordinate and manage the review and comment on proposed Federal financial assistance. Applicants should contact the Governors office for information regarding the SPOC, programs selected for review, and the consultation (review) process designed by their State. Applicants are to certify on the face page of the SF-424 (attached) whether the request is for a program covered under Executive Order. 12372 and, where appropriate. whether the State has been given an opportunity to comment.

Together, the partnership is implementing a Health Information Technology project by adopting an electronic infonnation network between the portals of entry for the low income adults into the system. Applicant Location This network will be created and established throughout multiple locations in Collier County, Florida, including Naples and rural Immokalee. Brief Mission Statement The Collier County Medical Society in collaboration with other community healthcare stakeholders initiated a volunteer healthcare access referral program that became PLAN in January 2005. PLAN is now the community conduit for access to specialty health care for low income uninsured adults with over 150 physicians and other healthcare providers participating. PLAN's mission is to close the gap in access to care, focusing on specialty care, as an initiative of the Collier County Medical Society Description and Exact Location of the Proposed Proiect Collier County is located on the southern gulf coast of the Florida peninsula, due west of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area. Naples, located in the western and coastal area of Collier County, is the largest of the three incorporated cities in Collier County. Everglades City lies south and east of Naples and recently incorporated City of Marco Island lies south along the Gulf of Mexico. Collier County contains approximately 2,025.45 square miles of land area, larger than the states of Delaware and Rhode Island with a population of approximately 339,000. The rural predominantly migrant community of Immokalee is approximately 45 miles from the coastal Page 1 of 7 Agenda Item No. 16011 May 26, 2009 Page 22 of 32 City of Naples. Bus transportation is limited within the metropolitan area and even more so in the outlying areas. Requesting an amount of $141,570 Collier County Govemment will purchase the equipment and software needed to implement a Health lnfonnation Technology project for the electronic transfer of information linking data from the hospitals' systems, the community's clinics that serve as access to care for the poor and the private practice participating healthcare providers into PLAN. The County will also facilitate the purchase of key equipment to assist clinic providers with the health care of the uninsured, low income population of Collier County. Once the information network is operational, the project plans to develop and implement a marketing plan for full penetration of the population of individuals who are uninsured. Time Frames The project, which began III September of 2008, will continue with equipment purchase and implementation in October of 2009. The initial implementation of the equipment, software and marketing of the program should be completed by September of 20 10. Entity Type Collier County Housing and Human Services is a department within Collier County government. The County is the applicant on behalf of the Physician Led Access Network, a 50lc3 corporation in the State of Florida. Issues This project has faced a number of significant and unexpected challenges since its inception. First and foremost, the key partnering organization, the Physician Led Access Network (PLAN) experienced a complete tumover of staffing including the Executive Director and a patient care coordinator overseeing the software implementation. Both positions for the organization needed to be advertised and filled and training for their positions within PLAN was paramount so services to the most vulnerable of our citizens to continue. Page 2 of 7 Agenda Item No. 16011 May 26, 2009 Page 23 of 32 In addition to these key personnel changes, Collier County and the number of organizations that are part of this network, are each experiencing the effects of the downturn in the economy. Hiring freezes, lay-offs and early retirement packages have left many of our partners with minimal staffing levels and therefore it is difficult to initiate new projects. Finally, some of our key partners are launching their own significant health infonnation technology projects and have prioritized their staffing levels on their own projects with less time available for coordinated projects. There have also been some challenges in the implementation of the Client Track software because of staffing changes with the contractor. The project is now investigating other software options that may be more feasible for the transfer of information at this time. Agency Initiatives This project will support key HRSA/agency initiatives. The main initiative is the establishment of electronic transfer of health infonnation to more efficiently assist the low income uninsured and enhance the provision of clinical services at delivery sites (#2 and #3). In addition, the project will raise public awareness regarding the improper use of the Emergency Room (#7). The project will also increase the range of services at these facilities and target special populations. (#12 and #13) Collier County Government, in partnership with PLAN, is creating a health infonnation network throughout multiple locations in Collier County including rural Immokalee. As a technology infrastructure is constructed, the project will focus on efficient, electronic transfer of patient information and will also develop solid data collection methodologies for reporting on results and cost-savings attributable to PLAN. Once the transfer of infonnation is operational, a full scale marketing effort will be implemented to educate the low income population regarding the improper use of the emergency room and properly divert individuals to more appropriate providers of the health services needed. In addition to the transfer of electronic infonnation, several key pieces of equipment will be purchased to enhance the delivery of clinical services at both the Marian E. Fether Clinic in Immokalee and Senior Friendship Clinic in Naples; both sites are part of the health care network established to serve the low income population of Collier Page 3 of 7 Agenda Item No. 16011 May 26, 2009 Page 24 of 32 County. The County is home to over 75,000 citizens who are over the age of 60 and 22% of the general population is uninsured. This equipment will directly enhance the level of service and quality of health care given to the uninsured and underinsured population in Collier County. The implementation of this electronic network will increase the at risk population referred into the PLAN network of care as well as increase efficiency of care. As outcome measurements are developed and tracked, cost-savings may be realized as use of emergency care decreases. In establishing a network of trained volunteers, an outreach program will be instituted in the Emergency Department of the participating hospitals to institute awareness of access to follow up care and referral to participating PLAN physicians and providers. Project Description Without the Physician Led Access Network (PLAN), a low-income uninsured patient has no financial access to needed specialty care, such as specialty consultation, surgery, or expensive tests such as an MRI or endoscopy. Some seek care in the emergency rooms, only to learn that the specialty care they require is not available since it is not considered life threatening. Others either live with debilitating pain or their condition continues to worsen to the extent that they can no longer work or care for their families. With PLAN, a patient's PLAN affiliated primary care doctor can refer the patient to PLAN for the specialty care or tests needed. PLAN's staff members make an appointment with the volunteer specialist who can provide the care this patient needs. With the support of many types of health care providers, the patient receives the necessary hospitalization, lab tests, and medication they need but cannot afford. Because PLAN encompasses a broad network of health care providers, the cost of providing free care is spread among many, rather than concentrated on a few. In order to successfully design and implement this project plan, partners will be building on already existing relationships with local physicians, hospitals and clinics. Since 2003, PLAN has worked with NCH Healthcare System's hospitals and since 2005, worked with Physicians Page 4 of 7 Agenda Item No. 16011 May 26, 2009 Page 25 of 32 Regional Medical Center. Both hospitals have active board members on the Physician Led Access Network. A representative from Collier Health Services Inc., the primary care clinic, also serves on the Board of Directors of PLAN as does the Senior Friendship Center, Inc. These on-going relationships have contributed to the successful implementation of the current service network. In 2008, PLAN has facilitated over 1300 patient encounters and built a network of 150 health care providers. The close relationship with the Collier Medical Society whose Executive Director and Past President also serve on the PLAN board of directors facilitates on-going and expanding local clinician support. In 2008 PLAN enrolled 381 new patients, many of whom are referred to PLAN from participating physicians and provided 898 specialty doctor visits, for services valued at more than $2 million. Since PLAN has been built upon partnerships with local physicians, hospitals and primary care clinics, the foundation for a partnership for shared health information is already in place. To implement an electronic inforn1ation network, it will be necessary to build relationships with and effectively communicate with IT personnel in the above mentioned locations. The health information network will be web-based to allow for back-up and recovery. Within all emergency preparedness/disaster plans, each organization will account for the security and safety of their data, and PLAN will be responsible for the collected data. In order to establish a patient-level infonnation transfer from Providers to the Physician Led Access Plan Network (PLAN) into a database with reporting capabilities to allow for trend analysis, segment targeting and potentially coordinated case-management while ensuring HIP A compliance, a Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) has been organized which consists of IT/data/information practitioners from the participating partners. This group is identifying which data should be transferred, what is the best method to transfer, what is the best software to use and a report of what are the best practices of other access networks around the country for the electronic transfer of data. This group, led by the Health Planning Council of SW Florida, our technical contractor provider, has been interviewing staff members from area hospitals, clinics, Collier County Government, and PLAN. Staff members include nurses, registration staff, Page 5 of 7 Agenda Item No. 16011 May 26, 2009 Page 26 of 32 administrators, case managers and others who would potentially be involved in the electronic transfer of infoffi1ation or have practical knowledge to enhance the planning process. As the technical needs of the project are detennined, the hardware and software needs will be evaluated to implement the data transfer. The equipment list, which is located in the appendix, will include the following: a. Equipment for providers who do not meet all the technical needs of the project (i.e. a computer with web access) for a clinic. b. Scanning equipment to allow for easy access and transfer of patient information within the hospitals, primary care clinics and PLAN c. Purchase/preparationlcustomization of the software. Development of the necessary fonns and reports. d. Training for Provider staff and PLAN staff on the software selected and the process in general. Following the determination of the technical/equipment needs of the project, the participants will further identify the types of patient-level data to be transferred from the providers to PLAN and will also develop privacy protocols. In establishing a network of trained volunteers, an outreach program will be instituted in the Emergency Department of the participating hospitals to institute awareness of access to follow up care and referral to participating PLAN physicians and providers. The project has also determined equipment needs to enhance the provision of clinical services at participating sites. These pieces of equipment are noted in the detailed equipment list. Senior Friendship Center (SFC) and Collier Health Services (CHS) are private, not-for-profit health care providers who provide services for PLAN patients. CHS is in need of a new ultrasound machine to allow for a telemedicine program. A mid-range ultrasound machine is about $80,000 to Page 6 of 7 Agenda Item No. 16011 May 26, 2009 Page 27 of 32 $85,000. The telemedicine program will allow the PLAN patients to receive most efficient and effective medical care. SFC is in need of a number of smaller pieces of equipment. A HemapointH2 is used to measures hemoglobin and hematocrit. Hematocrit and hemoglobin measurements are blood tests. They are part of a complete blood count, or CBC. An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) is a device which graphically records the electrical activity of the muscles of the heart. It is used to identify normal and abnormal heartbeats. First invented in the early 1900s, the EKG has become an important medical diagnostic device. A bone ultrasonometer is used to measure bone density. A urinalysis machine examines urine to allow for a clinical diagnosis. Often disorders can be found that do not have obvious symptoms. SFC would also benefit from two digital scales that also measure height and Body Mass Index (BMI). This equipment will directly enhance the level of service and quality of healthcare given to the uninsured and underinsured population in Collier County. The Physician Led Access Network of Collier County, Inc (PLAN) and Housing and Human Services, a department of Collier County Government, are both well established organizations with infrastructures and the financial solidity to continue to support the Health Information Electronic Network. This commitment is con finned by the written mandate of the Collier County Commissioners. PLAN continues to be funded by the Collier County Department of Health, the Collier County Department of Housing and Human Services, grants and various foundations supporting community health programs as well as the donated care of in kind contributions by the volunteer healthcare providers surpassing $1.9 million dollars in 2008. Additional support exists across the organizations that will be a part of this multi faceted project. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners has adopted as part of its 10 year strategic plan a commitment to partner with community organizations to improve health care access for the uninsured. In particular the Board of County Commissioner has chosen this project as a legislative priority for the past three years and has supported the endeavor to obtain this funding, envisioning it as a great opportunity to benefit the health and welfare of all Collier County residents but especially the community's most needy citizens.
