SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee
(Frank Puglisi, Jr. ) , to execute on behalf of the County, Contract
#26-202-5 with Children's Hospital Medical Center of Northern
California, with a payment limit not to exceed $64, 688, for the period
from January 15, 1995 through January 14, 1996, for provision of
neonatology services for County's Merrithew Memorial Hospital and
Clinics.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for this service has been included in the Health Services
Department's Enterprise I budget.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On March 22, 1994, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-202-
4 with Children's Hospital Medical Center of Northern California
(CHMC) for the period from January 15, 1994 through January 14, 1995.
Under the terms of the agreement, CHMC provides neonatology adminis-
trative and teaching services for staff of County's Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Clinics. In addition, CHMC is on call twenty-four hours
a day to provide neonatology services and to arrange transportation
for high risk infants to their facility. CHMC bills Medi-Cal and/or
other third party payors for the costs of patient care.
The number of deliveries at Merrithew Memorial Hospital continues to
increase, as does the percentage of high risk mothers. This service
provides additional support to staff involved in the care of newborns
and is consistent with the Department's efforts to reduce risk to the
County.
Approval of Contract #26-202-5 will continue the Contractor' s services
for another twelve months.
