SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director to execute on
behalf of the County, Hospital Agreement #23-076-5 with John Muir
Medical Center, for the period from July 1, 1996 through June 30,
1997, in the amount of $50, 000. The Agreement implements the
County' s designation of John Muir Medical Center as a Base Hospital
for paramedic units assigned to the County' s Emergency Medical
Services Zones A and B.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Agreement is funded by County Service Area EM-1 (Measure H)
funds. There is no County General Fund impact.
III. BACKGROUND:
On July 11, 1995, the Board of Supervisors approved Hospital
Agreement #23-076-4 with John Muir Medical Center for the period
from July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996, for Base Hospital
Services.
Base Hospitals provide on-line and retrospective medical direction
and control to paramedic units and are required as a part of an EMS
system providing Advanced Life Support. Base Hospitals provide
medical direction without regard to patient destination, and
therefore, provide services for patients who may be transported to
facilities other than John Muir Medical Center. Currently, two
Base Hospitals serve the four County-designated Base Hospital
Zones: John Muir serves Zone A (West County) and Zone B (South
County) ; and Mt. Diablo Medical Center serves Zone C (North County)
and Zone D (East County) .
Approval of Hospital Agreement, #23-076-5 will allow John Muir
Medical Center to continue as the designated Base Hospital for
Zones A and B through Fiscal Year 1996-97 .
