RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna Wigand) to execute on
behalf of the County, Contract #74-277 with Jackson & Coker LocumTenens, LLC., a corporation,
in an amount not to exceed $54,000, to provide temporary Psychiatric registry services to the Mental

FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment. Cost is offset by the non-renewal of a
contract with another Temporary Help Firm Registry Contract.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
For several years, the County, has contracted with nursing registries to provide temporary licensed
nursing personnel to assist Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and the Contra Costa Health
Centers during peak loads, temporary absences, and emergency situations. There continues to be a
nationwide nursing shortage, and in spite of persistent efforts to recruit nurses and other healthcare
staff, the Department has experienced difficulty in filling vacant positions. Therefore, the
Department has had to rely heavily on the registry services in order to provide quality care for
patients.
Under Contact #74-277, Contractor will provide temporary Psychiatric registry coverage services
to the Mental Health Division Outpatient Clinics, to cover vacations, sick leave, and extended
leaves of County-employed Psychiatrist, through June 30, 2007.
