Care Department Was not able to provide qualified care twenty-four (24) hours a clay, seven (7) days a week
Without the help of temporary registry services. The Department had to reply on Per Diem Stal ling Systems,
Inc. t0 maintain minimum staffing levels during peal. loads. At the time the contract expired the Department
had been in prolonged discussions with the vendor concerning the provision of interim cardiopulmonary
services. Due to confusion on the actual start date of the additional requested services the .funding was
erroneously included in the February 1, 2008 contract renewal. There is no financial impact associated with
this action. Funding has been budgeted.
