Medical Services Review Team. The COUNTY shall assign a Quality Management Coordinator and/or a Contract Monitor (hereinafter “Contract Monitor”) who will monitor performance and contract compliance of Provider. Contract Monitor will identify contract performance deficiencies for each Facility and report any such contract deficiencies to the Medical Services Review Team (“MSRT”), an interdisciplinary, collaborative committee comprised of leadership from the Shelby County Health Department (SCHD), Provider, the Sheriff’s Office, and the Shelby County Division of Corrections, at regular meetings scheduled by the COUNTY. It shall be mandatory for PROVIDER to attend any scheduled MSRT meeting for each/either Facility. As requested by the MSRT, Provider shall develop a corrective action plan (hereinafter “Corrective Action Plan” or “CAP”) for specific deficiencies as identified at MSRT meetings, and the COUNTY shall review each such plan prior to its implementation. If the Corrective Action Plan meets the specified objective, the Contract Monitor will approve said Corrective Action Plan for implementation. The Corrective Action Plan must be developed and submitted to the COUNTY within ten (10) business days after the MSRT meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if time is of the essence, as determined by the COUNTY, the COUNTY will advise the Provider, and then the Corrective Action Plan must be submitted to the COUNTY within forty-eight (48) hours and immediately implemented upon approval by the COUNTY. PROVIDER’s failure to comply with the Corrective Action Plan may result in penalties as identified in Section IV. 1. below.
