of medication levels, and setting the appropriate follow-up needs for those they are <br />providing services to. Any and all necessary communication for clients and patients can <br />be handled and navigated by the Clinical Staff overseeing the mental health portion of <br />services provided by CompassDirect Healthcare. <br />All complex behavioral/mental health care will be referred to the existing mental health <br />nurse practitioner to ensure complete and proper continuation of care for the patient. <br />Furthermore, any changes to medications, questions about care, or discussions needed <br />to be had about the care for a certain patient will be communicated through <br />CompassDirect Healthcare and either the clients primary care giver when not <br />incarcerated or the existing mental health nurse practitioner. There may also be <br />collaboration between CompassDirect Healthcare and KCJ mental health staff required <br />during this contract. <br />Research and Evaluation <br />CompassDirect Healthcare will evaluate the success of the KCJ behavioral/mental <br />health practitioner and Clinical Staff successes by tracking data associated with these <br />services. This will include the number of inmates seen, the total number of inmates <br />treated, and perhaps most importantly, the recidivism rate for inmates who were treated <br />with behavioral/mental health medications while in custody at KCJ. KCJ will gather and <br />analyze this data with quarterly and annual reporting available, unless otherwise <br />requested by KCJ. Any additional specific metrics KCJ desires to be tracked may be <br />requested as well. <br />KCJ is the owner of the research data, to the extent consistent with and allowed by the <br />grant funding and may make use of the de -identified data for the education of the public <br />and other entities. <br />At least quarterly a representative from CompassDirect Healthcare will be invited to <br />participate in a meeting and share any pertinent information regarding successes or <br />barriers of the programming, how the parties can improve on processes or <br />communication, and present information as requested. CompassDirect Healthcare may <br />also be requested to update KCJ administrators or staff more frequently if so desired <br />when both parties have available time. <br />Professional Services Agreement (rev. 09/24/2018) <br />Page 14 of 18 <br />
