RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22290 to add one (1) full-time Director of Safety and Performance Improvement (VWFA) position at salary grade ZA5-2180 ($10,709-$13,017) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to add one permanent full-time Director of Safety and Performance Improvement position in the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers. The new position is being added due to the pay for performance metrics increasing the current workload of the department. The duties and responsibilities include managing and directing the daily operations and functions of the Safety and Performance Improvement Division, participating in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the organization's continuous quality improvement initiatives and activities including training and team consultations, establishing and maintaining a continuous and accountable process for measuring and improving the quality and appropriateness of patient care and services, and assuring that the Quality Improvement Program in relation to medical and clinical services meet the compliance standards of the Joint Commission, California Coding regulations, Title 22 and other accrediting agencies, and monitoring operational compliance with licensor, accreditation, regulatory standards, and recommending and implementing changes as needed.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and its Health Centers will not have adequate oversight in its Safety and Performance Improvement Unit.
