FACTUAL RECITALS
Pursuant to section 25-1.5-1010) (I), C.R.S., as amended, the General Assembly of the state of Colorado has
declared that the state "has, in addition to all other powers and duties imposed upon it by law, the powers and duties
to disseminate public health information." Section 25 -1.5 -101 (r), C.R.S., as amended, states that the state can,
"operate and maintain a program for children with disabilities to provide and expedite provision of health care
services to children who have congenital birth defects or who are the victims of burns or trauma or children who
have acquired disabilities ". To accomplish its statutory duties, the State has determined that public health services
are desirable in the Contractor's region.
The United State Department of Health and Human Services ( "HHS "), through the Maternal and Child Health
Services Block Grant (MCH) has awarded the State Title V federal funds under Notice of Grant Award ( "NGA)
number B04MC04248 (See, Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance ( "CFDA ") number 93.994). The State's
Prevention Services Division (PSD) is charged with the administration of funds from the Title V MCH Block Grant
to improve the health and well being of the maternal and child /adolescent populations through assessing population
needs, influencing health policy, engaging in strategic planning and coordinating/implementing best practices and
evidenced -based programs.
The authority for the administration of the Title V MCH Block Grant, including the maternal, child and children
with special health care needs resides in Title V of the Social Security Act, §§ 501 -509.
Each state that receives MCH funds from the HHS must demonstrate to the HHS that it has served three (3) distinct
population groups with the MCH funds. These three (3) distinct population groups are: "the perinatal population ",
which is defined to include women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and mothers; the "child and youth
population ", which is defined to include infants, children, and adolescents from birth through age twenty (20); and,
the "children with special health care needs population" (CSHCN), which is defined as those children who have, or
are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also require
health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally.

The State has formulated a comprehensive statewide plan to carry out a Maternal and Child Health Program, funded
by Title V MCH dollars. As part of the comprehensive plan, it is the express intent of the state to support local
public health agencies in contributing to a coordinated, efficient statewide program, which focuses on specific MCH
performance measures set by the MCH State and Federal agencies. Local public health agencies, working in
partnership with other community organizations, facilitate the development and enhancement of community-based
systems of care for the maternal and child population. The goal of these systems is to ensure that all families have
access to direct care services, as well as, enabling and population -based services that address the issues and health
problems delineated in the MCH performance measures.

201, C.R.S., as amended, further states that all state of Colorado contracts with its political subdivisions are exempt
from the state of Colorado's personnel rules and procurement code.

DEFINITIONS OF THE FOUR TYPES OF SERVICES BY WHICH THE CORE PUBLIC HEALTH
SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH PROGRAMS AS DEFINED BY
THE MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH BUREAU
As of October 1, 2003
1. Direct Health Care Services
Direct health care services are defined as basic health services. Such services are generally delivered "one
on one" between a health professional and a patient in an office, clinic or emergency room. Basic services
include what most consider to be ordinary medical care, inpatient and outpatient medical services, allied
health services, drugs, laboratory testing, x -ray services, dental care, and pharmaceutical products and
services. State Title V programs may support services such as prenatal care, child health, school health and
family planning by directly operating programs or by funding local providers. Direct health care services
also include health care services for children with special needs.
Enabling Services
Enabling services are defined as services that allow or provide for access to and the derivation of benefits
from the array of basic health care services. Enabling services include transportation, translation, outreach,
respite care, health education, family support services, purchase of health insurance, case management, and
coordination of care. These kinds of services are especially necessary for the low - income population which
is disadvantaged, geographically or culturally isolated, and for those with special and complicated health
needs.
Population -Based Services
Population -based services are defined as services which are intended and available for the entire
population, rather than for a selected group of individuals. Disease, prevention, health promotion and
statewide outreach come under this heading. Oral health, injury prevention, nutrition and outreach and
public education are topics which also belong in this category. Population -based services are generally
available for women and children regardless of whether they receive care in the public or private sector or
whether or not they have health insurance.
Infrastructure Building Services
Infrastructure building services are defined as those services that are directed at improving and maintaining
the health status of a population. Included among those services are development and maintenance of
health systems, standards, and guidelines, training, data, and planning. Needs assessment, evaluation,
policy development, quality assurance, information systems; and applied research are all contained within
the infrastructure umbrella.

dispersed is to be kept by the clinic coordinator and the Team Leader.
II. Pediatric Clinics
Children attending an HCP Pediatric Clinic:
A. Upon referral from the child's PCP requesting a diagnostic evaluation and /or continuing
consultation from the pediatrician, the child may be seen in the HCP Pediatric Clinic.
