Proactively Reducing Health Sample Clauses

Proactively Reducing Health. Inequalities It is the responsibility of the provider to proactively reduce health inequalities in supplying this service. Health inequalities are the result of a complex and wide-ranging network of factors. People who experience material disadvantage, poor housing, lower educational attainment, insecure employment or homelessness, are among those more likely to suffer poorer health and an earlier death, compared with the rest of the population. As part of the strategy to reduce health inequalities, the service provider must provide evidence of engagement and collaborative working practices with all relevant organisations, to promote and improve health equalities within the relevant population. All partners are required to work in compliance with NICE guidelines PH 9 on Community Engagement, in order to deliver the legal obligations on the ‘Duty to Involve’ legislation. It is expected that all engagement processes are adequately resourced, long term and embedded within service delivery. As a minimum, data returns submitted should include the broad nature of the client/patients encounter, actual age, gender, ethnicity and full postcode if feasible, using standard classification systems where possible. Equality monitoring for all service users, including referrals and DNA’s where appropriate, should also be recorded and reported typically as monthly, but no less than quarterly. Equality monitoring should include physical, sensory or learning disabilities as appropriate and the commissioners will agree specific data returns with the provider on top of those here listed. The service provider shall not discriminate unlawfully within the meaning and scope of any law, enactment, order, regulation or similar instrument relating to discrimination (whether in relation to race, gender, disability, religion or otherwise) in employment or in relation to the performance of the services. The service provider will facilitate the commissioners in meeting all its statutory responsibilities in this area.

The text of the HCAO is available on the web at xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx. Capitalized terms used in this Section and not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Chapter 12Q. a. For each Covered Employee, Contractor shall provide the appropriate health benefit set forth in Section 12Q.3 of the HCAO. If Contractor chooses to offer the health plan option, such health plan shall meet the minimum standards set forth by the San Francisco Health Commission. b. Notwithstanding the above, if the Contractor is a small business as defined in Section 12Q.3(e) of the HCAO, it shall have no obligation to comply with part (a) above. c. Contractor’s failure to comply with the HCAO shall constitute a material breach of this agreement. City shall notify Contractor if such a breach has occurred. If, within 30 days after receiving City’s written notice of a breach of this Agreement for violating the HCAO, Contractor fails to cure such breach or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such period of 30 days, Contractor fails to commence efforts to cure within such period, or thereafter fails diligently to pursue such cure to completion, City shall have the right to pursue the remedies set forth in 12Q.5.1 and 12Q.5(f)(1-6). Each of these remedies shall be exercisable individually or in combination with any other rights or remedies available to City. d.

If a Subcontractor fails to comply, the City may pursue the remedies set forth in this Section against Contractor based on the Subcontractor’s failure to comply, provided that City has first provided Contractor with notice and an opportunity to obtain a cure of the violation. e. Contractor shall not discharge, reduce in compensation, or otherwise discriminate against any employee for notifying City with regard to Contractor’s noncompliance or anticipated noncompliance with the requirements of the HCAO, for opposing any practice proscribed by the HCAO, for participating in proceedings related to the HCAO, or for seeking to assert or enforce any rights under the HCAO by any lawful means. f. Contractor represents and warrants that it is not an entity that was set up, or is being used, for the purpose of evading the intent of the HCAO. g.

Contractor shall allow City to inspect Contractor’s job sites and have access to Contractor’s employees in order to monitor and determine compliance with HCAO. l. City may conduct random audits of Contractor to ascertain its compliance with HCAO. Contractor agrees to cooperate with City when it conducts such audits. m. If Contractor is exempt from the HCAO when this Agreement is executed because its amount is less than $25,000 ($50,000 for nonprofits), but Contractor later enters into an agreement or agreements that cause Contractor’s aggregate amount of all agreements with City to reach $75,000, all the agreements shall be thereafter subject to the HCAO. This obligation arises on the effective date of the agreement that causes the cumulative amount of agreements between Contractor and the City to be equal to or greater than $75,000 in the fiscal year.

This plan does not cover services for a newborn child who remains hospitalized after thirty-one (31) days and has not been enrolled in this plan.

In addition, if you lose coverage from another plan, you may enroll or add your eligible dependents for coverage through a Special Enrollment Period by providing required enrollment information within thirty (30) days following the date you lost coverage.

In order to enroll, you must provide required information within sixty (60) days following the change in eligibility.
