Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Denver Health and Hospital Authority

 

Type and Scope of services to be performed:

In May 2019, the Colorado General Assembly passed Senate Bill 19-223; legislation that mandates the provision of interim mental health services for individuals who have been court-ordered for inpatient competency restoration and who are waiting for admission

to an inpatient bed. To compensate for these specialty services, SB 19-223 allocates funding to the Jail Based Behavioral Health Services (JBBS) program to address gaps in services in the jail for those with mental health disorders that are awaiting restoration services.

 

Through JBBS funding, the Denver Sheriff Department seeks to subcontract to Denver Health to:

 

                     provide interim mental health services to individuals who are in jail and have been court-ordered to the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) to receive competency restoration services;

                     provide mental health services to individuals who are returning to the jail after receiving restoration services at an Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) designated inpatient restoration facility;

                     coordinate services with the Forensic Support Team (FST) and Court Liaison (Bridges) when a court order has been received for an evaluation and/or when an individual is identified to be in crisis by the jail at the time of booking or while incarcerated; and

                     coordinate and provide oversight for competency evaluations for both state and non-state court-ordered evaluations to ensure the evaluations are completed timely and in a private setting using in person visits, between the glass visits, or video visits based on the requested format of the evaluator.
