RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-769-3 with Bryan Ristow, M.D., an individual, effective October 1, 2016, to amend Contract #26-769 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #26-769-1, and #26-769-2), to increase the levels of service for on-call duties and the inclusion of administrative duties, with no change in the payment limit of $1,711,000, and with no change in the original term of June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On June 3, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-769 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #26-769-1, and #26-769-2) with Bryan Ristow, M.D. for the provision of cardiology services, including, but not limited to: clinic coverage, consultation, on-call coverage, training, and medical procedures at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), for the period from June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2017. The Cardiology Unit is experiencing an increase in patient cardiology service needs. County requested, and Contractor agreed to provide an increased level of services for on-call duties including the addition of administrative duties in conjunction with the Section Chief. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-769-3 will allow the Contractor to provide an additional level of service for on-call duties and provide administrative duties in the cardiology unit at CCRMC through May 31, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, patients requiring an increase in cardiology services will not have access to Contractor’s services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
