HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 07212015 - C.82RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract
#26-765-1 with Pathology, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $325,000, to provide laboratory services
for patients at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC) for the period from
July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (No rate increase)
BACKGROUND:
Certain laboratory tests require equipment not available at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center's laboratory and are
rarely requested tests. Because of the large number and diversity of laboratory tests used by the medical community
to make diagnoses, most hospitals have to utilize outside laboratories, as it is too cost prohibitive to provide all tests
on site. Contra Costa County has used the services of outside laboratories for over twenty-five years.
