RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-294-28 with Staff Care, Inc., a corporation, effective December 1, 2011, to amend Contract #26-294-24 (as amended by #26-294-26 abd #26-294-27) to increase the payment limit by $400,000, from $1,300,000 to a new payment limit of $1,700,000, with no change in the original term of January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Enterprise Fund I. (No increase in rates). Funds are coming from reduction in the Payment Limit of other locum tenens registries.

BACKGROUND:

On January 11, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-294-24 (as amended by Administrative Amendment #26-294-26 and #26-294-27) with Staff Care, Inc. for the period from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, to provide temporary physicians for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

At the time of negotiations the Payment Limit was based on target levels of utilization. Due to higher than anticipated usage of this locum tenens registry the payment limit of this Contract is being increased and other registry is being decreased. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-294-28 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide temporary physician services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, through December 31, 2011.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center would not have appropriate physician coverage.
