Contract Number: 568312 - Champions for Health: Budget Amendment Proposal

1. Introduction

The purpose of this budget amendment is to reallocate funds within our immunization contract to better align with our evolving priorities and ensure the successful achievement of our contract objectives. Over the course of our contract period, we have identified the need to adjust our budget allocations to optimize our resources and enhance our capacity to deliver essential services to our target populations. This amendment seeks to address these needs by reallocating funds from certain line items to bolster our clinic operations, thereby enabling us to meet our contractual obligations in a more efficient and effective manner.
As we continue to navigate the complexities of our immunization program, it has become evident that our initial budget allocations may not fully reflect the evolving demands and challenges we face. By proactively adjusting our budget to prioritize clinic operations, we aim to streamline our efforts and maximize the impact of our services on the communities we serve. Through this amendment, we seek to ensure that our resources are strategically deployed to address the most pressing needs and deliver high-quality care to those in need.
This introduction sets the stage for the proposed changes to our budget, providing context for the reallocation of funds and highlighting the importance of adapting our financial resources to meet the evolving demands of our immunization program. We recognize the significance of these adjustments in optimizing our operations and remain committed to maximizing the effectiveness of our contract in serving our target populations.

3. Justification

The proposed changes in units and budget allocations stem from an analysis of our immunization program's recent progress and strategic objectives outlined in the Vaccine Implementation Plan. Our recent Monthly Progress Report responses have highlighted key strategies and initiatives aimed at enhancing our vaccination efforts and addressing emerging challenges.
To bolster our clinic operations, we have identified strategic zip codes in HPI quartiles 1 and 2 through data analysis conducted by our Data Analyst. This approach aligns with our goal of targeting underserved communities and improving accessibility to immunization services. By focusing our outreach efforts on these areas and appointing HPI Outreach Coordinators to facilitate partnerships and outreach activities, we aim to increase vaccination rates among vulnerable populations.
Our collaboration with external partners, such as LGBTQ clinics, agricultural organizations, and refugee-serving agencies, reflects our commitment to expanding our reach and addressing the unique needs of diverse populations. The addition of LGBTQ, agricultural, and refugee-specific clinic settings in our data tracking system underscores our efforts to track and evaluate the impact of our outreach efforts accurately.
In parallel, our efforts to restructure the School-Based Sector and enhance coordination between VFC and non-VFC school-based efforts demonstrate our commitment to optimizing resource allocation and improving service delivery. By hosting separate internal meetings for overall school events and VFC efforts, we ensure that each initiative receives adequate attention and support from our team members.
These strategies align with the objectives outlined in our Vaccine Implementation Plan, which emphasizes the importance of data-driven decision-making, strategic partnerships, and targeted outreach efforts to achieve our vaccination goals.
Below are our justifications for the budget options:
Feb-June 2024 Option 1: This option reflects a strategic decision to optimize our resources by reducing the number of doses while increasing the number of clinics conducted. In our calculations, we considered our current average number of doses administered. However, it's important to note that we did not account for the potential addition of high-demand vaccines such as RSV, which may impact our clinic schedules. Additionally, the restructuring of our homebound sector is expected to result in an increase in referrals, further influencing our clinic capacity. Moreover, as we continue to expand into new partnerships and sites, we anticipate a rise in COVID-19 vaccine doses administered. These factors collectively contribute to the rationale behind this budget proposal."
Feb-June 2024 Option 2: In Option 2 for the budget proposal covering February to June 2024, we carefully considered the feedback from our CORs during our financial meeting. In alignment with their recommendations, we have made adjustments primarily to our "Other Doses" line item, reducing doses to allocate resources more efficiently. Concurrently, we have increased funding for community clinics, aiming to conduct approximately 155 clinics per month, consistent with our historical average. As part of our enhanced service delivery strategies, we are exploring opportunities to expand our vaccine inventory to include other high-demand vaccines such as RSV, ensuring comprehensive immunization coverage for our target populations.
Feb-September 2024 (3 month extension): In considering the possibility of a three-month extension from February to September 2024, we have crafted an option aimed at providing vital support to our partners, particularly schools, during the summer months. To achieve this objective, we have strategically reduced the allocation for other doses while bolstering funding for both community and school clinic initiatives. By prioritizing these areas, we aim to maintain robust immunization services and ensure accessibility for our target populations, even during the traditionally quieter summer season. While there are slight reductions in doses allocated for homebound and COVID vaccinations, we are confident that our updated service delivery and outreach strategies will effectively address these needs, allowing us to meet our objectives and fulfill our commitments to our communities.
⁠
See note regarding change in clinic cost consideration for July-Sept
⁠
⁠
Feb-December 2024 (6 month extension) Option 1: In the event of a six-month extension from February to December 2024, we have crafted an option that carefully considers the upcoming flu season and the anticipated increase in demand for homebound services. With these factors in mind, we have made adjustments to our allocation plan by slightly reducing the number of doses allocated for homebound services and reallocating resources from the other doses category. This reallocation allows us to increase funding for both school and community clinic initiatives, which are crucial for ensuring widespread access to immunization services. Additionally, we will prioritize Vaccine for Children (VFC) efforts for school-based clinics and strategic partnerships in areas with high priority index (HPI) quartiles 1 and 2. While the average monthly community clinic amount is currently set at 80,
we have proposed a clinic cost change that will allow us to reevaluate our clinic capacity for the July to December period.
⁠
⁠
Feb-December 2024 (6 month extension) Option 2: In our proposal for a six-month extension from February to December 2024, Option 2 maintains a balance between the various components of our immunization program. Unlike Option 1, we have retained a larger portion of the allocation for COVID doses while still making adjustments to the other doses category. By taking more from the other doses line item, we are able to allocate additional resources to support our school and community clinic initiatives, which remain essential for comprehensive immunization coverage. Additionally, we will continue to prioritize Vaccine for Children (VFC) efforts for school-based clinics and strategic partnerships in areas with high priority index (HPI) quartiles 1 and 2.
It's important to note that our proposal includes a proposed change in clinic costs
⁠
, which will allow us to reassess our clinic capacity for the July to December period, ensuring optimal resource allocation.

Current School Based team members include:

Trina: VFC Consultant - avg monthly hours 100-115
Junley: School Events Coordinator - avg monthly hours 140
Ave monthly: 240-250
That is around additional 259 hours to complete a month.
⁠
With a remaining balance of 2,289.63 hours and approximately $274,755.60 in funding allocated for our School-Based Coordinator Sector, we have a targeted goal of utilizing around 457.93 hours per month to maximize the effectiveness of our program. Currently, our School-Based team members include Trina, our VFC Consultant, averaging between 100-115 hours per month, and Junley, our School Events Coordinator, with an average monthly commitment of 140 hours. This brings our total average monthly hours to approximately 240-250. This may stay consistent or increase as our VFC work is ramping up.
To address the increased demand and accommodate the restructuring of our School-Based Coordinator Sector, we have outlined plans to onboard additional team members in March. These roles include:
VFC Consultant Assistant: This position will support the VFC Consultant in managing vaccine inventory, conducting team training sessions, and overseeing program operations.
CAIR2 VFC Reporting Consultant: Tasked with assisting the Quality Assurance Manager, this consultant will be responsible for completing the VFC tab on our Monthly Progress Reports, gathering VFC clinic forms, and preparing VFC-related reports.
VFC School Outreach Consultant: Working closely with the School Events Coordinator, the County’s School Workforce Grant Public Health Nurses, and HPI Outreach Coordinators, this consultant will focus on strengthening strategic partnerships with schools for VFC vaccine distribution.
Each of these consultants will be expected to contribute around 20 hours per week, effectively utilizing the additional 259 hours available per month. By strategically allocating these resources, we aim to optimize our outreach efforts, enhance collaboration with key stakeholders, and achieve our immunization program objectives.

As we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of public health needs, we recognize the importance of extending our services to address ongoing challenges and emerging priorities. In response to this, we propose a three-month o six-month extension period focused on sustaining and expanding our efforts in school-based clinic operations and COVID-19 administration for high-risk populations.
Objectives:
School-Based Clinic Operations: Our primary objective during the extension period will be to maintain and enhance our school-based clinic initiatives, ensuring access to essential immunization services for students across targeted communities. This includes conducting regular clinics, providing educational outreach, and strengthening partnerships with schools and community stakeholders.
COVID-19 Administration for High-Risk Populations: Building upon our existing efforts, we will prioritize the administration of COVID-19 vaccines to high-risk populations, including homebound individuals, elderly residents, and underserved communities. This will involve targeted outreach, mobile vaccination clinics, and collaboration with local healthcare providers and community organizations.
Influenza Administration for High-Risk Population: During the extension period, our focus will extend to administering influenza vaccines to high-risk populations during the 2024-2025 flu season. We aim to safeguard vulnerable individuals, including seniors, young children, and those with underlying health conditions, against seasonal influenza outbreaks. Our strategy will involve targeted outreach campaigns, collaboration with healthcare providers, and hosting specialized flu vaccination clinics in community settings. By expanding our immunization services to include influenza administration for high-risk populations, we contribute to broader public health objectives of reducing flu-related illnesses and hospitalizations, particularly among those most susceptible to severe complications. Through proactive vaccination initiatives, we strive to enhance community resilience and promote the overall well-being of our residents.
RSV and Other High-Demand Adult Immunizations for High-Risk Populations: In addition to our focus on COVID-19 and influenza vaccination efforts, we recognize the importance of addressing other high-demand adult immunizations, such as Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), particularly among high-risk populations. Our extension objectives include expanding our immunization services to cover RSV vaccinations for vulnerable groups, including infants, elderly individuals, and those with compromised health conditions. Moreover, we aim to address the growing demand for adult immunizations against preventable diseases that pose significant health risks, especially among high-risk populations. By offering a comprehensive range of vaccinations, including those for pneumococcal disease, shingles, and hepatitis, among others, we strive to improve immunization coverage and mitigate the burden of vaccine-preventable illnesses in our communities. Through targeted outreach, education, and collaboration with healthcare partners, we aim to ensure equitable access to essential immunization services for all individuals, particularly those at heightened risk of severe complications from vaccine-preventable diseases. Our commitment to enhancing vaccination efforts for RSV and other high-demand adult immunizations reflects our dedication to promoting public health and safeguarding the well-being of our community members.
Change in Cost per Clinic Rate:
After careful consideration and organizational evaluation, we are proposing a change in the cost per clinic for both school and non-school-based clinics. Initially, our budget proposal included the cost of 1-2 insurance verification specialists per clinic, along with their mileage expenses. However, we have transitioned our insurance verification specialists to remote positions. This transition not only enhances staff coordination but also proves to be more cost-effective for the organization. As a result, we are able to decrease the cost per clinic to more accurately reflect our current operational expenses. This adjustment ensures that our budget aligns with our evolving workflows and organizational efficiency, allowing for optimal resource allocation.
The changes are:
Community: $1,597.28/clinic to $1,250/clinic
School based: $1,844.28/clinic to $1,425/school

6. Conclusion

In conclusion, the proposed budget amendment reflects our commitment to adaptability and responsiveness in meeting the evolving needs of our community. By reallocating resources to prioritize key areas such as non-school-based clinics, school-based clinics, and COVID-19 administration, we aim to enhance our capacity to deliver essential healthcare services effectively.
Through careful analysis and strategic planning, we have identified areas where adjustments are necessary to optimize our operations and maximize our impact. The changes outlined in this amendment align with our overarching goal of promoting health equity, improving access to immunization services, and addressing the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As we move forward with implementing these changes, we remain dedicated to fostering collaboration, innovation, and excellence in service delivery. By leveraging our collective expertise, resources, and partnerships, we are confident in our ability to achieve our objectives and make a meaningful difference in the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
We extend our gratitude to all stakeholders for their continued support and collaboration, and we look forward to realizing our shared vision of a healthier, more resilient future for all.
