On March 14, 2022, Ordinance No. 10130 was approved by City Council approving the cooperation agreement with Pueblo Triple Aim Corporation and Health Colorado Inc. accepting, budgeting and appropriating funds to establish a full-time position and continue a part-time telehealth position connected with the DOTS program. BACKGROUND: The Pueblo Fire Department works closely in partnership with other agencies in the community to help citizens navigate healthcare resources. Pueblo Triple Aim Corporation is one such local non-profit community partner with the mission of making Pueblo County the healthiest county in Colorado through community problem solving and cross-sector collaboration. The Directing Others to Services (DOTS) program consists of a trained outreach team that visits individuals who overutilize 911/Emergency Rooms and educates and connects them to resources. This has routinely decreased their “usage” of unnecessary emergency medical services by 50%. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Project No. PS2214 has been established, with the passage of a previous ordinance accepting Funds in the amount of $71,184.48 for the purposes of funding the salary and benefits of the full-time coordinator position and part time telehealth position in 2023. The funding will be provided by Pueblo Triple Aim Corporation through September of 2023 with the remaining three months of the position covered by the General Fund at a cost of $17,796.21. The intent is to reapply for funding each year for continued financial support. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: The no action alternative would be to retain current staffing levels and not provide the necessary full-time staff support for the DOTS Program. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
