RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Contract #26-800-5 with John Roark, Jr., M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $300,000, to provide gastroenterology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $300,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers rely on contractors to provide necessary specialty health services to its patients. This contractor’s gastroenterology services will include clinic coverage, consultation, training, provision of medical procedures, and on-call coverage. This contractor has been providing gastroenterology services since May 2015.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-800-4 with John Roark, Jr., M.D., in an amount not to exceed $375,000, for the provision of gastroenterology services, including, but not limited to clinical coverage, consultation, training, on-call and surgical procedures at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2023.

Approval of Contract #26-800-5 will allow this contractor to continue providing gastroenterology services at CCRMC through April 30, 2026.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the necessary specialty gastroenterology services needed for patient care will not be available or will create increased wait times due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community.
