1 1. Background/Introduction 1.1. This Statement of Work ( SOW ) describes the activities and responsibilities (the Work ) of the Regional Health Connector (RHC) Host Organization ( Host ) participating in the Colorado RHC Program (the Program ) The Host will be responsible for the Work described in this SOW within the region which encompasses Denver County (the Region ) The Program is supported through two federally-funded initiatives: EvidenceNOW Southwest (ENSW) and the Colorado State Innovation Model (SIM). As shown in Figure 1, the Program will be developed and managed by the Colorado Foundation for Public Health and the Environment (CFPHE) and the Colorado Health Institute (CHI), under contract with the University of Colorado (for ENSW funding) and the Colorado SIM Office (for SIM funding), respectively. ENSW is funded through the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and SIM is funded through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Figure 1. Colorado Regional Health Connector Program Funding Partnership 1.4. The cost allocation for the Work will be 70% funded by SIM and 30% funded by ENSW. Given the key role of the RHC in engaging partners for both programs, the 70/30 split is based on the planned statewide scope of engagement for each project:

2 Colorado SIM plans to recruit a total of 400 primary care practices and four Community Mental Health Centers to participate in the program. In addition, SIM will fund two Behavioral Health Regional Collaboratives and eight local public health agency (LPHA) collaboratives, which encompass over 30 LPHAs, two Regional Care Coordination Organizations, two school districts, substance use treatment providers, and a variety of community partners. The Colorado SIM Office is also in the process of developing a comprehensive telehealth strategy with additional partners across the state. With over 500 different entities engaged, SIM constitutes 70% of the total statewide engagement for both programs ENSW plans to recruit 208 primary care practices (in Colorado), which constitutes 30% of the total statewide engagement for both programs To ensure that the Work reflects the 70/30 funding split, each RHC will identify three target areas: one directly linked to ENSW target areas and two directly linked to Colorado SIM target areas. Please see Section for additional details The Host will work closely with program staff at CHI and CFPHE (collectively, Program Staff ) to launch the RHC workforce and to continuously improve the program throughout planning, implementation and transition to sustainability phases. 2.

Scope 3.1. The scope of this SOW is limited to the roles and responsibilities of the Host and the RHC in the development and implementation of the Program. The SOW also describes the type of support and engagement the Host and the RHC may expect from the Program Staff; however, this document is not intended to be a comprehensive or binding description of Program Staff activities The Host is responsible for hiring, guiding, and supporting the RHC in work within the Region. The Host is ultimately accountable to the Program Staff for the successful completion of all activities described in this SOW, including those assigned to the RHC.

4 3.3. The RHC is responsible for engaging appropriate practice-based and community partners to identify local priorities and to develop and implement a plan to address local priorities within a Region The Host and the RHC will receive training, guidance and support from the Program Staff through frequent virtual and in-person interactions and regular reporting requirements (described further in Section 4) Although this SOW delineates specific required activities and deliverables, Program Staff expect to work closely with the Host and the RHC to improve the Program through continuous iteration. Changes to the Work may be considered to better meet the needs of the local Region; therefore, the Host and the RHC are expected to participate as thought partners for the Program Staff in considering changes and should anticipate and plan for flexibility throughout the Period of Performance. 4. Tasks and Deliverables 4.1. Under this SOW, the Host and the RHC will be responsible for the specific tasks and deliverables described in this section. Tasks and deliverables are identified according to phases of Program implementation, as well as ongoing activities to support training, evaluation and sustainability efforts Table 1 identifies the phases of Program implementation and ongoing activity categories.

5 Phas e Description Table 1. Phases of Program Implementation Timeline for completion* 1 Planning 7 months Step 1: Host hires or assigns RHC Step 2: Review existing data and initiatives to identify local priorities Step 3: Align local priorities with SIM and ENSW Target Areas Step 4: Develop a plan to address local priorities (RHC Roadmap) 2 Implementation of the RHC Roadmap 3 Transition to sustainability Ongoing Activities Evaluation Training & Technical Assistance *Measured in weeks/months from execution of contract. 6 weeks 3 months 3 months 6 months Through Apr Through Jan Through Jan As stated in Section 3.2, the Host is ultimately accountable to the Program Staff for the successful completion of all activities described in this SOW, including those assigned to the RHC. This SOW assigns responsibilities specifically to the RHC in order to provide clarity about the role of this new workforce and the role of the organizations who have been selected to hire, manage, and support them. It is important to note that Sections 4.4, 4.6, 4.9, 0, 4.15, 4.18, 4.20, 4.22, and 1 refer to Host responsibilities as an organization, while the remaining sections refer to activities and responsibilities that are expected to fall within the role of the RHC as an employee of the Host. Phase 1: Planning Step 1: Host Hires or Assigns RHC PHASE 1 STEP 1 TASKS: The Host shall complete the following tasks: Finalize a Region-specific RHC job description, based on the job description template provided by Program Staff, and submit to Program Staff. Submit the name and contact information for the hiring manager and/or RHC supervisor to Program Staff Identify an appropriate internal or external candidate who meets the qualifications specified in the RHC job description.

6 Submit the resume of the proposed RHC candidate to Program Staff at least 48 hours before offering the position to the candidate. Program Staff reserve the right to discuss the proposed candidate s qualifications with the Host before an offer is made; however, Program Staff approval of the proposed candidate is not required Provide the RHC with the necessary resources to perform their duties, including a computer, printer, meeting space, access, etc Notify Program Staff of the RHC start date and connect the RHC to onboarding training and RHC meetings hosted by Program Staff Participate in network analysis activities with Program Staff. Facilitate scheduling and communication with community partners, as needed PHASE 1 STEP 1 DELIVERABLES: The Host shall submit the following deliverables: DELIVERABLE: Hiring Package, which include four separate items due at different points in the hiring process: Final Region-specific job description and hiring manager/supervisor contact information, due within two weeks of the Effective Date Proposed RHC Candidate Resume, due 48 hours before offer is extended Notification of RHC start date upon RHC acceptance of the position Baseline network analysis information, building upon the partnership table submitted with the Host s proposal. Program staff will work with each Host to determine the appropriate timing for delivery of this information. Phase 1: Planning Step 2: Review Existing Data and Initiatives to Identify Local Priorities PHASE 1 STEP 2 TASKS: The Host shall complete the following tasks: Identify and connect RHC to existing assessments of local health needs and priorities within the Region. At a minimum, the existing assessments identified should include the following: Community Health Assessments and Community Health Improvement Plans, developed by public health agencies; Community health needs assessments, conducted by local hospitals; Regional listening session reports, available from various Colorado-based foundations; and Any other local reports and/or assessments that describe the current state of health or health disparities in the Region. The Host should engage local partners and stakeholders to ensure a comprehensive list of existing assessments is compiled Identify existing Local Partnerships, meetings, and projects and (if needed) introduce the RHC to key contacts for each Local Partnership, meeting, and/or project.

7 Ensure that the RHC is engaged in Local Partnerships, meetings, and projects in which the Host participates, as appropriate Provide local historical context to the RHC, as appropriate PHASE 1 STEP 2 TASKS: The RHC shall complete the following tasks: Work with the Host and Program Staff to review existing local assessments and data. At a minimum, the RHC should review the following documents and datasets: Community Health Assessments and Community Health Improvement Plans, available from CDPHE; Community health needs assessments, conducted by local hospitals; Regional listening session reports, available from various Colorado-based foundations; County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, available online; and Colorado Access to Care Index and County Health Report Cards, available from CHI; and Any other local reports and/or assessments that describe the current state of health or health disparities in the Region Discuss local initiatives and projects with key contacts. Ensure that efforts by local practices, LPHAs, AHECs, Alliances, and human services are considered, in addition to any region-specific community organization efforts Engage Practice Transformation Organizations (PTOs), including local Practice Facilitators (PFs) and Clinical Health Information Technology Advisors (CHITAs), participating in Colorado SIM or ENSW within the Region to identify relevant assessments, population health plans, or specific needs related to connecting to community resources and developing partnerships. Leverage relationship with PTOs to engage with practices participating in Colorado SIM and ENSW, while minimizing additional meetings for the practices (e.g., an RHC might attend a previously-scheduled meeting between the PTO and practice rather than initiating a separate meeting) Engage the Regional Care Coordination Organization(s) (RCCOs) covering the Region to identify relevant RCCO assessments and other documents. Review all available RCCO materials. Program Staff will provide introductions to Opportunity Liaisons at the RCCO(s) to facilitate this engagement. Leverage relationship with Opportunity Liaison and RCCO to engage with practices, while minimizing additional meetings for the practices (e.g., an RHC might attend a previously-scheduled meeting between the RCCO and practice rather than initiating a separate meeting) Engage local representatives of Colorado-based foundations, including the following types of representatives: Program Officers from the Colorado Health Foundation, Caring for Colorado Foundation, the Denver Foundation, as well as Community Partners, from the Colorado Trust, and others.

8 Where appropriate, assist local practices and/or communities in conducting selfassessments and/or community health need assessments. This activity should not be duplicative with any existing or planned assessments. It is expected that new assessments will be appropriate only in rare instances Use the local priority alignment tool provided by Program Staff (or an equivalent tool) to identify local priorities that are common across existing assessments. All local priorities should be captured in Step 2 to ensure that the ensuing RHC activities are tailored to the needs of the local community. Program Staff will assist the RHC in aligning local priorities with Colorado SIM/ENSW Target Areas in Step Using the local priority alignment tool (or equivalent), compare local priorities among existing initiatives and efforts. In collaboration with the Host, Local Partnership(s), and other community stakeholders, identify opportunities for RHC work to support and accelerate progress on local priorities PHASE 1 STEP 2 DELIVERABLES: The RHC shall submit the following deliverables: DELIVERABLE: Completed local priority alignment tool (or equivalent) Phase 1: Planning Step 3: Alignment of Local Priorities with SIM and ENSW Target Areas PHASE 1 STEP 3 TASKS: The Host shall complete the following tasks: Provide guidance and support to the RHC in completing all tasks and deliverables Ensure that the RHC is engaged in Local Partnerships, meetings, and projects in which the Host participates, as appropriate Provide local historical context to the RHC, as appropriate PHASE 1 STEP 3 TASKS: The RHC shall complete the following tasks: In collaboration with Program Staff, determine alignment between Local Priorities and Colorado SIM/ENSW Target Areas. In many cases, a Local Priority may be a direct match for a Target Area (e.g., obesity or substance use). In other cases, a Local Priority may be an upstream determinant that impacts a Target Area (e.g., a Local Priority of clean air may impact the asthma Target Area). A list of Target Areas and example contributing factors and social determinants of health are provided in Exhibit 2. Program Staff will assist each RHC in determining areas of alignment to ensure that work on Local Priorities can be linked to Target Areas for evaluation In collaboration with the Host and Local Partnerships, select three Local Priorities that align with one ENSW and two Colorado SIM Target Areas, as shown in Figure 2. The selected Local Priorities will be the focus of the RHC Work.

9 Figure 2. Alignment of selected Local Priorities with ENSW and Colorado SIM Target Areas Local Priority 1 Local Priority 2 Local Priority 3 ENSW Target Area Colorado SIM Behavioral Health Target Area Comorbidity Any Colorado SIM Target Area or other Select a Local Priority that can be directly linked to one of the ENSW target areas around heart health. The ENSW target areas and a few example projects are shown in Table 2 below. The RHC will identify specific projects based on the needs of the community in Step 4, as described in Section Table 2. ENSW Target Areas and Example Projects ENSW Target Area Cardiovascular Disease Cholesterol Hypertension Obesity Substance Use Tobacco Example RHC Projects Help practices implement evidencebased clinical-community linkages for smoking cessation Disseminate patient engagement materials about cardiovascular health Increase access to local community college fitness facility

10 Select a Local Priority that can be directly linked to one of the Colorado SIM target areas on behavioral health (i.e., mental health and/or substance use). The Colorado SIM behavioral health target areas and a few example projects are shown in Table 3 below. The RHC will identify specific projects based on the needs of the community in Step 4, as described in Section Table 3. Colorado SIM Behavioral Health Target Areas and Example RHC Projects Colorado SIM Behavioral Health Target Area Anxiety Child Development Screenings Depression Substance Use Alcohol Substance Use Prescription Drugs Example RHC Projects Connect primary care to statewide early intervention resources Disseminate stigma reduction materials from SIM LPHA grantees to primary care Facilitate coalition between law enforcement, substance use providers, and primary care Improve access to behavioral health services in rural communities via coordinating transportation networks and/or supporting adoption of telehealth.

11 Select a Local Priority that can be directly linked to any of the Colorado SIM target areas, as well as the behavioral health target area selected in Section The goal in selecting this third Local Priority should be to address comorbidities or other linkages between the second Local Priority and another Colorado SIM target area. The RHC might address two behavioral health comorbidities OR comorbidities between behavioral health and physical health. Table 4. All SIM Target Areas and Example RHC Projects SIM Target Area Anxiety Child Development Screenings Depression Substance Use Alcohol Substance Use Prescription Drugs Asthma Diabetes Hypertension Obesity Prevention Breast and Colon Cancer Prevention Flu Safety Falls Substance Use Tobacco Example RHC Projects Facilitate community social support network to address comorbidity between depression and obesity Implement follow-up referral to BH specialist after positive cancer screening Help practices establish referral networks that include support for comorbidities (e.g., joint referral for home assessment for falls and social support evaluation) Record the selection of three Local Priorities in the selected Local Priorities form provided by Program staff PHASE 1 STEP 3 DELIVERABLES: The RHC shall submit the following deliverables: DELIVERABLE: Complete selected Local Priorities form. Phase 1: Planning Step 4: Development of Plan to Address Local Priorities (RHC Roadmap) PHASE 1 STEP 4 TASKS: The Host shall complete the following tasks: Provide guidance and support to the RHC in completing all tasks and deliverables Ensure that the RHC is engaged in Local Partnerships, meetings, and projects in which the Host participates, as appropriate.

12 Provide local historical context to the RHC, as appropriate PHASE 1 STEP 4 TASKS: The RHC shall complete the following tasks: Collaborate with Program Staff to identify and review best practices and/or evidence-based interventions that may be appropriate tools to employ in addressing the selected Local Priorities. Program Staff will support the RHC in tailoring existing evidence-based interventions or developing of promising practices, where appropriate. Focus on opportunities for connection to practices and coordination with practice transformation efforts, as a priority for the RHC work Develop at least one objective related to each selected Local Priority. Objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound (SMART). Program Staff will provide technical assistance on identifying and specifying SMART objectives. RHCs should also engage PTOs and RCCOs in developing SMART objectives, to ensure coordination with local practice transformation objectives Develop an implementation plan for RHC Work, broken into distinct projects, to achieve each SMART objective. This plan will be called the RHC Roadmap. Program Staff will provide a roadmap template and technical assistance. While the scope of RHC work will be tailored to each Region, the RHCs are expected to prioritize coordination activities over detailed work on individual projects. Table 5 provides an example of how three selected Local Priorities might be linked to Target Areas and translated into projects and SMART objectives. The RHC Roadmap would provide additional detail on implementation plans for each project. Table 5. Example Local Priorities, Target Areas, Projects, and Objectives Local Priorities Target Areas Example Projects Example SMART Objectives Safe places to exercise Obesity Facilitate referral network from practices to local community college fitness facility Expand fitness center access to 200 low income families at an affordable rate of no more than $15/ month by Apr Opioid overdose rate Substance Use Increase availability of naloxone through community coalition Distribute free naloxone kits to 1,000 residents by Jan Suicide death rate Depression Engage local providers and community organizations in LPHAled mental health stigma reduction campaign Reduce suicide death rate from 19.4 per 100,000 to 17.6 per 100,000 by Jan. 2019

13 Identify the Local Partnerships and other community stakeholders who will be engaged in addressing the selected Local Priorities, and include a communication plan in the RHC Roadmap. The RHC Roadmap should specify planned engagement with primary care and behavioral health providers, PTOs, RCCOs, and LPHAs, in particular Review RHC Roadmap with the Host, Local Partnerships, PTOs, RCCOs, and other community stakeholders Complete a health equity assessment for each proposed project. A health equity assessment tool will be provided by Program Staff. The RHC may use the tool provided or an equivalent tool more suited to the needs of the Region.
