The St. Mary's County Health Department is issuing this RFP 27-06 to seek proposals from qualified independent evaluation firms, organizations, or consultants to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the St. Mary's 360: Connected Care Everywhere project.
St. Mary's 360 is SMCHD's initiative to establish an integrated, technology-enabled system of care that connects residents to primary care, behavioral health, oral health, public health services, wellness supports, emergency response systems, and resources that address health-related social needs. The initiative centers on a Community-Integrated Care Coordination system using embedded care coordinators, closed-loop referral technology via the Health & Wellness Portal, digital health supports, mobile integrated health outreach, and multidisciplinary care planning.
SMCHD is seeking an independent evaluation partner to develop and implement a public health mixed-methods evaluation and continuous quality improvement approach to assess both the implementation and outcomes of St. Mary's 360. The evaluation is expected to draw on multiple quantitative and qualitative data sources, including Health & Wellness Portal analytics, CRISP resources, participant and partner feedback, and other available data.
The evaluation aims to provide SMCHD and its partners with actionable insights to monitor implementation, identify opportunities for continuous quality improvement, demonstrate program impact, and inform future sustainability and development.
SMCHD intends for the independent evaluation to assess St. Mary's 360 as a coordinated system, rather than evaluating individual programs or funded activities in isolation.
The evaluation will focus on several key areas: examining the implementation of St. Mary's 360; assessing the effectiveness of partner organizations and participating programs in connecting residents to care and services; tracking resident engagement and their progression through the care system; and measuring significant progress and outcomes over time.
Additionally, the evaluation should include both process and outcome assessments and establish mechanisms to use findings to support ongoing quality improvement throughout the project period.
Awarded vendor should anticipate attending bi-weekly meetings virtually through Google Meet. [...] Applicants should include both short-term process measures and longer-term outcome measures.
SMCHD requires updates regarding evaluation of all resources and projects identified under the St. Mary's 360 system. This update should be provided to the SMCHD representative(s) ahead of any scheduled meetings. If no meetings are scheduled within a single month, report should be provided by the 5th work day of the following month.
Awarded vendor shall coordinate report and any other identified deliverables with SMCHD representatives.
