Pursuant to the Agreement, MX has agreed to perform certain Services in accordance with written
Statements of Work, such as this one, entered into from time-to-time.
American Rescue Plan Act State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ARPA-SLFRF)" means the
consolidated 2021 bill found in H.R. 1319,Public Law It 7-2".
The parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Term. The term of this SOW shall be February 1,2024 through June 30,2025.
2. Scope&Fees.Under this SOW,MX will endeavor to determine the necessary policy and technical
infrastructure requirements for supporting County Integrated Data System (IDS) and Suicide
Prevention Data Flow for Children("Youth Suicide Prevention"), such efforts to include:
a. Policy:
i. Service Description: MX will develop a policy framework to support ongoing data
exchange between providers, public health, county behavioral health, and school
districts/schools for patients who are minors,providing recommendations for both
MX and Participant best practices and potential policies. These findings, along
with independent review and analysis by Participant legal counsel,will inform the
parameters for data exchange for Youth Suicide Prevention.
ii. Fees: For the Services provided in this Section, Participant shall pay to MX a fee
of$120,000; $60,000 payable upon execution of this SOW, and$60,000 payable
upon delivery of a draft policy framework to Participant by six(6)months.
b. Collaboration:
i. Service Description. MX will work with Participant and Participant stakeholders
to further define existing and novel data flows for Youth Suicide Prevention,
including how and where relevant data is captured,triggers for data transmission,
user permissions, and user technology needs, including infrastructure and user
interfaces. This collaborative analysis will also identify any additional or ancillary
technology beyond MX's current technology that is required to enable the Youth
Suicide Prevention use case. To support alignment between MX's solutioning and
Participant expectations, Participant will include MX in the workgroups listed
below and MX will provide at least one representative for each workgroup that
will attend all regular meetings and provide subject matter expertise. At a
minimum, Participant and MX will confirm mutual understanding of the policy
and technical requirements in writing, including desired data elements and data
output required to fulfill Participant project goals:
1. Youth Suicide Prevention Technical Workgroup
2. Legal Framework/Data Sharing Agreements Workgroup, including legal
compliance assessment.
4
ii. Fees. For the Services provided in this Section, Participant shall pay to MX a fee
of$80,000; $40,000 payable upon execution of this SOW, and $40,000 payable
upon the conclusion of the Workgroups, which are anticipated to run
approximately until January 31, 2025.
c. Implementation of Pilot:
i. Service Description:
1. Provided that the policy work and collaboration efforts set forth in
Sections 2.a and 2.b above(collectively"Requirements Work") conclude
that the desired data sharing associated with Youth Suicide Prevention is
commercially feasible for the Parties, MX will implement a notification
service("MX Notify")that alerts Participant when a Patient of Participant
is: (i) seen in the emergency department of Participant or an NP
Participant; or (ii) admitted to or discharged from the hospital of
Participant or an NP Participant; subject to any limitations, consents, or
other requirements determined in the Requirements Work. Notifications
will be based on the patient panels submitted by Participant. To the extent
that meeting the policy and/or technical requirements for the Youth
Suicide Prevention use case requires MX to acquire,build, or implement
new technology, including but not limited to methods for consent
management, MX and Participant will agree on implementation and
associated fees prior to MX implementing it.
2. Following implementation,MX will support MX Notify for Youth Suicide
Prevention in production for a period of three (3)months ("Pilot Period")
during which time the project teams will evaluate how well the MX Notify
solution meets the use case requirements and stakeholder needs. This will
allow MX to adjust the solutioning as needed to better support the Youth
Suicide Prevention use case and identify the extent to which the solution
is extensible to other County IDS use cases. Continued use of MX Notify
by Participant for Youth Suicide Prevention and/or other County IDS use
cases following the Pilot Period will require an amendment that will
include ongoing fees.
3. For purposes of clarity,MX shall not be required to implement MX Notify
in the event that the Requirements Work deems the data sharing associated
with Youth Suicide Prevention legally impermissible or commercially
infeasible for MX, as determined in MX's sole reasonable discretion.
ii. Fees: In the event that MX implements MX Notify for Youth Suicide Prevention
without implementing additional or ancillary technology to support the use case,
Participant shall pay to MX a fee of$15,000 under this SOW.
d. Additional Hourly Work at Participant's Request: Participant may request, and MX may
agree to perform, additional Services on a time and material basis, invoiced monthly, at a
rate of$200 per hour, up to a maximum of$200,000 without requiring an amendment to
this SOW. MX shall submit a proposal for review and approval by Participant prior to
conducting Additional Work under this Section 2(d) of the SOW.
3. Total Fees. The total fees paid pursuant to this SOW are not to exceed$415,000

Services set forth in this SOW:
