NEW BAA for Response Teams

Please note: The BAA that was approved by Corp Counsel in February of 2021 was reviewed by Baraboo Ambulance's legal team, and they have some suggested revisions on the attached contract that need review by Corp Counsel. Thank you!

************

Using grant funding, the Sauk County Health Department is establishing overdose response teams. These are teams of 3 individuals (2 EMS/Fire representatives and 1 peer support specialist) that would attempt an in-home or in-facility visit to overdose survivors in Sauk County in an effort to streamline
a connection to treatment and other vital support services. The BAA attached enables the sharing of protected health information between each participating agency (EMS/Fire) and Sauk County Public Health so that 1) Public Health will be alerted when an EMS provider treats a suspected overdose and the name and contact information of the person who overdosed will be provided to Public Health; 2) Public Health will then share the name and contact information of the individual with the team members who have been scheduled to attempt the home/facility visit.

Note that the BAA references a Services Agreement, the MOU that was submitted through this system on Monday, 3/22/21. Thank you.
