RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-458-20 with Aya Healthcare, Inc. a corporation, effective October 1, 2014, to amend Contract #26-458-19, to increase the payment limit by $350,000, from $250,000 to a new payment limit of $600,000, with no change in the original term of September 1, 2013 through August 31, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% by Enterprise Fund I. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On September 17, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-458-19 with Aya Healthcare, Inc., for the provision of temporary nursing staff for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), for the period from September 1, 2013 through August 31, 2015.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization during the term of the agreement was higher than originally anticipated in order to provide coverage for critical roles primarily in the emergency, critical care and perinatal departments.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-458-20 will allow the Contractor to provide additional temporary nursing staff at CCRMC through August 31, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, patients will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the levels of service to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
