RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #26-410-3 containing mutual indemnification with La Clinica de La Raza, Inc., a non-profit corporation, to provide transfer and coordination of care for patients requiring emergency medical care at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period from March 1, 2022 through February 29, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a nonfinancial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The County has been contracting with La Clinica de La Raza, Inc., since March 2016 to provide transfer and coordination of care for patients requiring emergency medical care at CCRMC. The goal of this Care Transition Agreement is to provide continuity of care for La Clinica de La Raza, Inc. patients who are treated at CCRMC and ensure that these patients are connected with their primary medical home after the hospital visit.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-410-2 with La Clinica de La Raza, to provide transfer and coordination of care for patients requiring emergency medical care at CCRMC, for the period March 1, 2020 through February 28, 2022.

Approval of Contract #26-410-3 will articulate the roles of the parties with regard to transfer and coordination of patients who have been hospitalized at CCRMC, through February 29, 2024. This agreement includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the transfer and coordination of care for these patients may not be in compliance with all applicable Federal and State statutes and regulations, including the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA).
