RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74–343–6 with Richard D. Baldwin, M.D., a self-employed individual, in an amount not to exceed $220,800, to provide geriatric psychiatric services for County’s Adult Mental Health Clinics, for the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% Mental Health Realignment Fund. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

For a number of years the County has contracted with Medical, Dental and Mental Health Specialists to provide specialized professional services, which are not otherwise available in its Hospital and Health Centers.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 7, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-343-5 with Richard D. Baldwin, M.D. for the provision of geriatric psychiatric services for seriously and persistently mentally ill older adults at the County’s Adult Mental Health Clinics, for the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.

Approval of Contract #74-343-6 will allow the Contractor to continue providing geriatric psychiatric services through December 31, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County’s clients will not have access to Contractor’s professional geriatric psychiatric services, which may result in a reduction in overall levels of service to the community.
