DATE: January 27, 1995 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #26-193-7 with
Professional Health Care Providers, Inc. (dba TherAmerica)
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, Standard
Contract #26-193-7 with Professional Health Care Providers, Inc. (dba
TherAmerica) , in the amount of $50,000, for the period from February
1, 1995 through January 31, 1996, for physical therapist registry
services at Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Health Services Department's
Enterprise I budget. Source of funds includes third party revenues,
as appropriate, and salary savings through vacant Physical Therapist
positions.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For several years the County has contracted with registries to provide
temporary medical professionals to assist Merrithew Memorial Hospital
and Clinics during peak loads, temporary absences and emergency
situations.
The Department relies upon this registry as there is a current
national shortage of physical therapists, and recruitment efforts to
fill vacant positions have not been successful.
Approval of Standard Contract #26-193-7 will allow the Contractor to
continue to provide temporary coverage, as required by the Department,
through January 31, 1996.
