RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #26-347-40 with Cross Country Staffing, Inc., a corporation, effective December 1, 2021, to amend Contract #26-347-39 to modify the contract to include travel, urgent, and crisis rates for temporary lactation consulting services with no increase in the payment limit of $5,500,000, and no change in the original term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will result in no change to the original payment limit of $5,500,000 for fiscal year 2021-2022 and is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Additional rates)

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers have an obligation to provide medical staffing services to patients. Therefore, the County contracts with temporary help firms to ensure patient care is provided during peak loads, temporary absences, vacations and emergency situations where additional staffing is required. The County has been using the contractor’s temporary staffing services since July 1, 2005.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

June 22, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-347-39 with Cross Country Staffing, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $5,500,000, for the provision of temporary medical staffing services, including registered nursing, and Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) nursing services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-347-40 will allow the contractor to provide additional travel, urgent, and crisis rates for temporary lactation consulting staffing services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring lactation consulting medical services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers will not have access to this contractor’s services.
