Subject:Contract #74-277-12 with Jackson & Coker LocumTenens, LLC
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
2013.
Approval of Contract #74-277-12 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide services, through December 31,
2013, including a modification to County’s General Conditions Paragraph 18. (Indemnification) related to locum
tenens physicians not being indemnified by Contractor.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, the County’s Mental Health Outpatient Clinics would need to engage an alternate
vendor potentially creating a lack of appropriate psychiatric coverage during temporary staff absences and therefore
patients would go untreated.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
