ACKGROUNDMEASUN(S)FOR RECUMMENDATTON(�1:
For many years the County has contracted with registries to provide temporary qualified personnel to
assist the Department during peak workloads, temporary absences and emergency situations. This
Contractor continues to provide Radiology and Psychiatry Locum coverage on a monthly basis to fill
the physician coverage gaps at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.
On December 17, 2002, the Board of-Supervisors approved Contract #26-294-8 (as amended by
Contract Amendment Agreements #26-294-9 through #26-294-11) with Staff Care., Inc., for the
period from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005, to provide locum tenens physicians to
work as temporary employees to provide vacation, sick leave, and extended leave relief for County-
employed physicians at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers,
including the specialty of Radiology services.
On April 19,2005,the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment Agreement#26-294-12.
Unfortunately, due to an administrative oversight, the Board Order did not reflect the intent of the
Department and mutual agreement between the parties. Approval of this board order will reflect the
correct effective date of the amendment to read April 1, 2005 and allow the Contractor to be paid for
additional-services in an amount not to exceed $1,275,000, as agreed upon by both Contractor and
County,through December 31,2005.
