RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #76-786-1 with Esteban Cubillos Torres, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $660,000, to provide emergency medicine physician services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $660,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers relies on contractors to provide necessary emergency medicine specialty health services to its patients. CCRMC has contracted with Dr. Torres for emergency medicine services since September 2022.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 13, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-786 with Esteban Cubillos Torres, M.D., in an amount of $210,000, for the provision of emergency medicine services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023.

Approval of Contract #76-786-1 will allow this contractor to continue providing emergency medicine physician services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers through August 31, 2026.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the necessary emergency medicine physician services needed for patient care will not be available or will create increased wait times due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community.
