Draft specification attached. Currently, licensed per diem Registered Nursing staff is being used in the ambulatory care setting to provide services that do not require licensed personnel. This is due in part to the lack of Licensed Vocational Nurses available in the current job market. This has resulted in significant usage of per diem Registered Nurses in the clinics. Often, these nurses spend their time performing clinical tasks that do not require the advanced and specialized skills of a registered nurse. The Office of Ambulatory Care reviewed all of the required tasks in the clinics and determined that an appropriate skill level for those tasks would best fit that of a Certified Medical Assistant. The ambulatory care clinics utilize 22,700 per diem hours every year. The average wage for a per diem nurse in ambulatory care is $37.00 per hour. The proposed salary range of the Certified Medical Assistant with 5 steps at 5%increments will be$2705432$9 per month. The number of unnecessary RN per diem hours times the proposed starting hourly rate of a CMA (including benefits)would equal a savings of over$300,000 per year. The annual cost of these new positions including benefits associated with this action will be $540,134.00. The requested positions will be funded by the elimination of per diem nursing hours. Please place this item on the next available Board Agenda. If you have any questions I can be reached at 5-8868.
