SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County,
Standard Contract #26-236 with Judy Windrix, A.R.T. in the amount of
$175, 000 for the period December 1, 1991 through November 30, 1992 for
provision of medical transcription services for Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Clinics. This Contract includes a three-month automatic
extension for the period from December 1, 1992 through February 28,
1993 with a payment limit of $43 ,750.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is included in the Health Services Department Enterprise
I budget foi- FY 1991-92 .
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Expert medical transcription services are necessary to meet the
standards for Medical Record Services set forth in the J.C.A.H.
Accreditation Manual and to address the problem of illegibility on the
part of medical professionals for which the Contra Costa Health Plan
has been criticized in State Department of Health Services PHP medical
audits.
Over the past few years the Department has paid for medical record
transcription services through a purchase order. Due to the volume of
service and the cost of providing the service to Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Clinics, the Department determined that a contract would
be the most cost effective method for obtaining quality service.
Therefore, bids were solicited from a number of vendors. Not only did
Ms. Windrix: submit the most competitive bid, but she also meets
MBE/WBE standards.
