RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #26-749-4 with Stanford Health Care, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $45,000, including mutual indemnification, to provide outside clinical laboratory services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. As appropriate, patients and third party payers will be billed for services.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Certain laboratory tests require equipment not available at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center's laboratory and are rarely requested tests. Due to the large number and diversity of laboratory tests used by the medical community to make diagnoses, most hospitals have to utilize outside laboratories, as it is cost prohibitive to provide all tests on site. Contra Costa County has used the services of outside laboratories for over twenty-five years.

On June 21, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract 26-749-1 (as amended by Amendment/Extension Agreement #26-749-2) with Stanford Health Care, for the provision of outside clinical laboratory services, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018.

Approval of Contract #26-749-4 will allow the contractor to continue to provide outside clinical laboratory services, through June 30, 2021. This contract includes mutual indemnification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients needing specialized laboratory testing at CCRMC and Health Centers will not have access to the contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the levels of service to the community.
