RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Interagency Agreement #26-591-1 with the Regents of the University of California, an educational institution, on behalf of the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center (UCSF) and Benioff Children’s Hospital, for the transfer of patients and records from Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC) to UCSF and Benioff Children’s Hospital, for the period from December 1, 2013 through August 31, 2018 including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this Contract.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Transfer Agreement #26-591-1 will allow facilitation and continuity of care of patients and records between UCSF and Benioff Children’s Hospital and CCRMC, through August 31, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, CCRMC would not be able to transfer patients to UCSF or Benioff Children’s Hospital for higher levels of care.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
