RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #76-519-12 with Steven A. Harrison, M.D., A Professional Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, to provide ophthalmology 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 $1,000,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. This contract includes a rate increase.

BACKGROUND:

Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers relies on contractors to provide necessary specialty health services to its patients. CCRMC has contracted with Dr. Harrison for ophthalmology specialty services since April 2004.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On March 31, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-519-11 with Steven A. Harrison, M.D., A Professional Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, to provide ophthalmology services, including but not limited to clinical coverage, consultation and training at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2023.

Approval of Contract #76-519-12 will allow the contractor to continue providing ophthalmology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers through April 30, 2026.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the necessary specialty ophthalmology 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.
