Board approves cloud-based interagency data-sharing addendum tied to CalAIM funding
Summary
The board approved an addendum to a software license and maintenance agreement with Equivalent to build cloud-hosted data links among county agencies to support CalAIM and prerelease services; staff said the project is grant-funded and will reduce duplicate intake and speed access to wraparound services.
The Lassen County Board of Supervisors approved an addendum to a software license and maintenance agreement with Equivalent to implement interagency data sharing intended to support CalAIM-related services and prerelease coordination.
Sheriff/Coroner John Magarva and staff described how the project will build secure cloud-hosted links between county systems and partner systems so agencies can share intake and wraparound data without repeated forms. Staff said the work is funded in part by CalAIM grants and that the county must implement certain data links to meet program requirements. Presenters emphasized that the cloud-hosted system (hosted in a commercial data center) will have service-level agreements, access controls and testing before the county issues final payments.
Members of the public and supervisors asked about privacy, scope and cost controls. Staff said data will be stored in a cloud data center (Amazon), that individual county logins and service-level agreements will govern uptime and access, and that payment is tied to verified go-live and completion of scope items. Behavioral health and sheriff's staff said better information flow can reduce duplicative intake, improve prerelease connections to behavioral health and services, and reduce the risk of recidivism by expediting appointments and care.
After questions and public comment, the board voted to approve the addendum and authorized the chair to execute the document.
