SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his
designee (Frank Puglisi, Jr. ) , to execute on behalf of the County,
Contract Amendment Agreement #24-650-4 with Wendy Eberhardt, M.D. ,
effective July 1, 1996, to amend Contract #24-650-3 , to increase
the Payment Limit by $500, from $60, 580 to a new total contract
payment limit of $61, 080.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is 100% County funded and is included in the
Department' s budget.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On September 19, 1995, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract
#24-650-3 , with Wendy Eberhardt, M.D. , for the period from
September 1, 1995 through August 31, 1996, for provision of
professional psychiatric services to County' s patients at the
Older Adults Clinic in Concord.
Due to the resignation of Dr. Neil Kostick, psychiatrist and
former Director of the Inpatient Geriatrics Unit, the Health
Services Department does not have week-end psychiatric coverage
for the Inpatient Geriatrics Unit. Dr. Kostick previously
telephoned in to the unit on Saturday and Sunday to discuss the
status of each patient and make treatment adjustments as
necessary. Week-end psychiatric coverage is essential to proving
high quality care and continuity.
Approval of this Contract Amendment Agreement #24-650-4 will allow
the Contractor to provide additional week-end telephone coverage
services through August 31, 1996.
