the position's criticality.
A "criticalposition" I's one that is essential to maintainingpublic safety and the legc lfinanc al, and operational continuity.
Where is a sustained and Significant demand for psychiatric medication management sera ices, and it is
essential that we maintain reliable access to these serx4ces for Grant County residents. our current
capacity includes one onsite ARNP, one telehealth ARNP, and a contracted telehealth psychiatrist who
pro-vides approximately eight hrs of serVice/week. These providers form a limited but critical
prescriber network needed to meet ongoing community needs and avoid gaps in care. At present, we
pad' approximately l-8R—$2oR dollars per month under our existing professional services contract
for these prescribing ser-vgces. Transitioning to an employed ARNP who can provide senices onsite
(with the option of telehealth as appropriate) has the potential to reduce overall program casts while
preserving, and potentially expanding, access to care. This shift would allow us to reinvest any sax ngs
into strengthening clinical capacity; & improN ing continutiy of care of clients.
