RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22101 to cancel one vacant permanent 20/40 hour Registered Nurse position #8260 and increase the hours of one (1) permanent part-time Registered Nurse (VWXG) position #10605 at salary grade L32-1880 ($8,305-$10,372) from 20/40 to 40/40 hours in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost savings of approximately $44,181 with pension and benefits savings estimated at $22,463 included.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Cost Health Plan's Authorization/Utilization Management Unit is increasing the position hours of Registered Nurse position #10605 to meet regulatory time frames. Due to the lack of adequate staffing, the department is struggling in meeting the turnaround time frame required by the recent California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and California Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) audits. Therefore, the department is requesting that Registered Nurse part-time (20/40) position #8260 to be canceled in order to have one permanent full-time Registered Nurse position #10605.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Health Plan Authorization/Utilization Management Department may not meet the turnaround time frame required by the recent California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and the California Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) audits.
