SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of ,the County,
Contract Amendment Agreement #26-109-21 with Staff Builders Services,
Inc. , effective August 1, 1991, to amend Standard Contract #26-109-20
(effective July 1, 1991 through June 30, 1992) to provide for payment
for Registered Nurses who work only in ICU at Merrithew Memorial
Hospital.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. There is no change in the payment limit of the contract, and.
services provided under the contract are billable to patients and third
party payors.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For several years the County has contracted with nursing registries to
provide temporary licensed nursing personnel to assist Merrithew
Memorial Hospital and Clinics during peak loads, temporary absences and
emergency situations. There is a nationwide nursing shortage, and in
spite of persistent efforts to recruit nurses for vacant funded
Registered Nurse positions, the Department has experienced great
difficulty in filling any vacant positions. Therefore, the Department
has had to rely heavily on the registry services in order to provide
quality nursing care for patients.
On June 25, 1991, your Board approved Contract #26-109-20 with Staff
Builders for temporary nursing help. The purpose of this Contract
Amendment Agreement #26-109-21 is to add a fee rate for the Contract-
or's Registered Nurses who are assigned to work in Merrithew Memorial
Hospital ' s ICU.
