Subject:Amendment #74-277-8 with Jackson & Coker LocumTenens, LLC
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
temporary psychiatric services for the Mental Health Division Outpatient Clinics, to cover
vacations, sick and extended leaves and emergency situations, for the period from January
1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. At the time the Contract was negotiated, the payment
limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the Division did not include enough
funds to allow the Contractor to provide the services needed through the term of this
Contract.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-277-8 will allow the Contractor to
provide additional temporary psychiatric services, through December 31, 2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, the County’s Mental Health Outpatients Clinics would
not have appropriate psychiatric coverage during temporary staff absences therefore patients
would go untreated.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
