RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #26-429-17 with Jackson & Coker LocumTenens, LLC, a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $250,000, for the provision of temporary help physicians for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers and the County’s Main Detention Facility, for the period from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by the Enterprise Fund I. No increase in rates.

BACKGROUND:

For many years the County has contracted with registries to provide temporary qualified personnel to assist the Department during peak work loads, temporary absences and emergency situations.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 15, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-429-16 with Jackson & Coker LocumTenens, LLC, for the period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, for the provision of temporary physician services to cover vacation, sick leave, and extended leave relief for County-employed physicians at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers and County’s Main Detention Facility.

Approval of Contract #26-429-17 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide temporary physician services through December 31, 2011.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contra Costa Regional Medical and Contra Costa Health Centers and the County's Main Detention Facility would not have appropriate physician coverage during temporary staff absences therefore patients would go untreated.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
