HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 10132015 - C.41RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract
#26-749-1 with Stanford Health Care, a nonprofit corporation, including mutual indemnification, in an amount not to
exceed $15,000, for the provision of outside clinical laboratory services for 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 100% funded by Enterprise Fund I. As appropriate, patients and third party payors will be billed for
services.
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. Under Contract
#26-749-1 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide outside clinical laboratory services, through June 30,
2016.
