76. AGREEMENT WITH CONTEXTURE FOR COMMUNITY CARES ACCESS PROGRAM Approve a non-financial Agreement with Contexture and its affiliate, Health Current (collectively, “Contexture”), a non-profit organization and Maricopa County (“Licensee”) administered by its Human Services Department - Workforce Development Division. The purpose of the Agreement is to implement a referral system to address social determinants of health (“SDOH”) needs in Arizona and provide Health Information Exchange (“HIE”) participants with access to SDOH data critical to Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (“AHCCCS”)’ Whole Person Care Initiative (collectively, the “CommunityCares” program). Contexture has contracted with (“Unite Us”) to purchase and distribute licenses for certain organizations, and local and state governmental bodies and agencies in Arizona to access and use the Unite Us Network as part of the CommunityCares program. Unite USA, Inc. owns and operates the Unite Us Network, a common network powered by their proprietary software to coordinate electronic referrals and case management tasks between health care organizations and community-based organizations (“CBOs”). In Arizona, this common network powered by the Unite Us Platform is referred to as CommunityCares. Contexture operates HIEs and has teamed with AHCCCS and 2-1-1 Arizona (operated by Solari) to implement CommunityCares to address SDOH needs in Arizona. Contexture intends to provide HIE participants with access to SDOH data critical to AHCCCS’ Whole Person Care Initiative to ensure better care coordination, case management and health outcomes for Arizonans. The term of this Agreement shall begin on or about November 15, 2023, or until terminated pursuant to the Agreement or upon termination or suspension of any Agreement between Contexture and Unite Us, or if Contexture loses funding for the CommunityCares program. Approval of this item will not impact the County General Fund. Supervisory District: ALL (C-22-24-053-X-00)
