  7. Back Up Care Proposal

  8. Back Up Care: motives & models • On-going discussions with UCSF CACSW, Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Childcare, CCFL and SACSW.Other peer institutions offer back up care programs. • Precedent with other UC campuses, notably UC Berkeley pilot program.

  9. Peer Institutions Comparisons

  10. Back Up Care: Key factors • Should serve a broad UCSF population (childcare model) • Very limited space and financial resources. • Recognition that any new program that is introduced should have its costs offset by user fees.

  11. UC Berkeley Program: Background • Back-up Care Advantage Program Launched in March 2009 (S. Zedeck, Vice Provost Academic Affairs & Faculty Welfare) • Pilot program for ~300 Assistant Professors • Maximum 80 hours/year back-up care program • Co-pay Structure: • $2/hour per child for center-based care • $4/hour for up to 3 dependents for in-home • No annual service fee

  12. UC Berkeley Program: Results • 98 Assistant Professors or approximately one-third of eligible group registered • UC Berkeley used over 1,318 hours of care in the first program year • Represents 291 unique days saved in absenteeism • 99% of all care provided was in-home • Average of 30 requests/month with 99.6% fill rate • Participants rated satisfaction with the back-up care program 4.8 out of 5

  13. UC-wide interest

  14. UCSF Pilot Program: Assumptions • 250 of eligible UCSF population will utilize service. • Users will pay an annual service fee of $100 and co-pay for days utilizing service. • $6/hour in-home care • $15/day center-based care • Annual allowance of 15 days per employee per year. • Maximum of 50% of days for in-home care.

  15. Program features • Back up care at Bay Area Bright Horizons full service centers: • San Francisco • Palo Alto • San Jose • Marin (before/after school care only) • Back up care at non-Bright Horizons network of providers nation-wide. • In-home care through network of in-home care agencies (child and adult care). • 24x7 care and service availability. • Crisis Care Assist – rapid response program when national or local disaster and/or health emergencies impact availability of care.

  16. Funding Strategy

  17. Pilot Program • Pilot a program for 250 UCSF faculty, staff, students, residents and postdocs. • Requires $100 annual service fee (covers cost of program). • Assign program management to CLS Family Services (during pilot program only). • Develop partnership with UC Berkeley, and possibly other UC sites, to leverage program goals and costs. • Identify funding contingency to fill gap if 250 do not register IF the university wants to make this investment.

  18. Timeline • January – February 2011 • Negotiate contract with Bright Horizons Family Solutions • Requires 30 days advance notification • March 2011 • Launch program • Open enrollment for all eligible UCSF populations • May 2011 • Report on 3 month utilization statistics • June 2011 • Pursue shared contract with UC Berkeley
