RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #26-473-21 with SHC Services, Inc. (dba Supplemental Health Care), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,362,392 to provide temporary medical professionals for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC) and the County’s Detention Facilities, for the period from April 1, 2015, through March 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On May 7, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-473-17 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #26-473-18 through #26-473-20) with SHC Services, Inc. (dba Supplemental Health Care), for the provision of temporary nurses, nursing assistants, psychiatric technicians, medical assistants and physical, occupational and speech therapists for CCRMC and the County’s Detention Facilities, for the period from April 1, 2013, through March 31, 2015. Approval of Contract #26-473-21 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide temporary medical professionals to assist the Divisions during peak workloads, temporary absences and emergency situations, through March 31, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring medical services during peak workloads, temporary absences, and emergency situations will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the levels of service to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
