Common use of Core CHT Clause in Contracts

Core CHT. The Grantee shall plan, implement and oversee the area CHTs designed to improve the health of the region’s population, reduce expenditures, and improve the patient’s experience of care. This work is to be undertaken in collaboration with a wide array of community service partners and stakeholders as described in Section C.1. above. The practices served by the CHT must participate in and approve of the CHT staffing. The Grantee shall provide organizational support for the operations of the CHTs, including recruitment, hiring (or subcontracting), and ongoing mentoring and supervision of team members and the team leader. Recruitment and hiring should occur according to timeframes that provide for staffing increases when Blueprint payer CHT funding increases. The Grantee shall be aware that the Core CHT is funded through CHT payments from the public and commercial payers (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont, Cigna Corporation, and MVP Health Care) as delineated in contracts #24633, #24633, and #24641 as amended. These contracts also detail the timing of CHT payments and how funding for the core CHT is scaled to the number of unique Vermont patients attributed to participating Blueprint practices. The Grantee shall ensure that all CHT staff working in the HSA contributes required CHT patient encounter and activity data elements to the State’s clinical registry/care management system (currently Covisint DocSite) either via interface, flat file transfer, or direct manual entry. CHT staff must perform this data entry for at least 30 days before the Grantee may invoice for Project Management milestone payments. The Grantee shall also enter CHT staffing data in the Blueprint Provider Directory as required by the State.
