Description
The St. Mary’s County Health Department is seeking qualified organizations to design, expand, and implement mobile, home‑based, community‑based, or place‑based health access strategies for county residents. Proposals must address a broad definition of “mobile health,” including traditional mobile units, telehealth kiosks, digital navigation, transportation vouchers, remote patient monitoring, and community health worker models. Awardees will integrate with the County Health & Wellness Portal, may use proprietary hardware/software under cost‑reimbursement or commercial pricing rules, and must comply with HIPAA and state data‑interoperability standards (CRISP, SDI). The effort aims to reduce geographic barriers, improve care coordination, and report detailed utilization and outcome metrics.
• Target audience: St. Mary’s County residents needing easier access to primary, preventive, and behavioral health services.
• Scope: Design and deployment of mobile health delivery models, technology platforms, and support services (e.g., transit passes, referral tracking).
• Deliverables: Service implementation plan, technology integration with HWP, data reporting framework, partnership documentation, and compliance with federal grant cost principles.
• Timeline: Proposals due Sep 17 2026; pre‑proposal meeting Sep 4 2026 (optional).
• Funding: Not disclosed; cost‑reimbursement or commercial pricing permitted depending on contractor/sub‑recipient status.
