RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22234 to add six (6) Physical Therapist II (V5VF) positions at salary plan and grade TC5 1746 ($6,717 - $8,164) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $953,774 with pension costs of $208,694 included. This cost will be 100% offset by Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting six Physical Therapist II positions to meet our patient care needs. We have utilized the Physical Therapist Per Diem (temporary employees) and registry services (contractors) to fill our need to provide rehabilitation services to our patients. However, in review, we find it crucial and necessary to have permanent positions to maintain the consistent levels of patient care services. As our patients and referred patient population have increased, our rehabilitation therapy services are more in demand requiring for not only in-patient hospital services but also out-patient clinics, specialty clinics, health centers and Prime projects services as well. This request will satisfy Title 28 standards and patient access for healthcare services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers will not be able to meet the requirement of Title 28, provide efficient services, maintain budget, and provide services to our patients.
