Attachment B
B.1 SCOPE OF WORK

B.1.1 The Government of the District of Columbia, Child, and Family Services Agency (CFSA)
is seeking to utilize HSC to provide inpatient respite care placement services to CFSA
clients.

B.1.2 The respite program at HSC serves children with a wide range of medical conditions,
including heart disease, chronic lung disease, children requiring enteral feeds, and
complications of prematurity. The respite patients admitted to HSC must meet the current
admission criteria of the hospital: Respite children have special health care needs that
require medical monitoring but are currently stable. Active medical problems or illness are
exclusions for respite services. It is most commonly provided as a benefit for the parent or
caregiver of a child who requires 24-hour monitoring. Respite admissions typically last 1-
7 days. However, longer stays may be approved for extenuating circumstances. Upon
admission to HSC, there shall be a clearly defined discharge plan.

B.1.3 Children will be referred for respite services by email or telephone via a referral to the
admissions office. A preadmission assessment will be completed by the Nurse Liaison to
ensure appropriate admission. The admission process from referral to admission takes a
minimum of 2 business days. Admissions to HSC typically take place Monday through
Friday 8a-6p.

B.1.4 On admission, CFSA will identify who has authority for medical decision making for the
child during the admission. The CFSA representative will serve in this capacity since the
child is a ward of the District. Child’s legal guardian along with a CFSA representative
must be available onsite at the time of admission.

B.1.5 If the child, once admitted, is deemed not appropriate for HSC’s scope of service, CFSA
shall be contacted to find a more appropriate placement for the child.

6

B.2.4 Contractor shall inform the CA in writing of any disagreement regarding the need for
continued treatment services, appropriateness of certain types of treatment, concerns or
questions regarding invoicing or payment, or any other disagreement concerning the

medical necessity at a higher level of care than respite services, the client’s health insurance
will be billed for the level of care. If the Contractor determines that the client needs timely
discharge, the District will immediately arrange for such transfer. The Contractor may
request a staffing meeting to discuss the issues and attempt to reach a mutually satisfactory
resolution. The CA will inform the Contracting Officer in writing of any such requests and
will work with the Contracting Officer to decide the most appropriate means of resolution.
