RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22224 to add two (2) Sterile Processing and Distribution Technician (1EWA) positions at salary level TA5-1015 ($39,087-$47,510) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an estimated annual cost of $169,550 which includes $33,732 in pension costs. The cost will be offset by Federally Qualified Health Care revenue.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Health Clinic Services has expanded its dental services, which has resulted in an increased need to sterilize instruments used during dental procedures. Dental equipment and tools are utilized in Public Health Mobile Clinics when serving homeless sites in Richmond and the Central and East County school sites. The two Sterile Processing and Distribution Technicians will be assigned to the Contra Costa County Regional Medical Center where the sterilization process is being conducted.







BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Sterile Processing Distribution Technician position is responsible for cleaning, decontaminating, inspecting, packaging and sterilizing expensive, state-of-the-art surgical instrumentation and medical devices. Incumbents will also be assigned to account, control, conduct inventory, and requisition of medical supplies and equipment needed for patient care. To meet this increased workload, the Sterile Processing Unit is requesting that two full-time Sterile Processing and Distribution Technician positions be added.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, sterilization and decontamination of dental instruments will not be completed in a timely manner.
