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
#26-260-2 with Preferred Staffing Incorporated, in the amount of
$50, 000, for the period from August 1, 1997 through September 30,
1998 , to provide nursing registry services at Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Health Centers.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is included in the Health Services Department Enterprise
I budget for FY 1997-98 .
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 Health Centers during peak loads, temporary
absences, and emergency situations. There continues to be a
nationwide nursing shortage, and in spite of persistent efforts to
recruit nurses, the Department has experienced difficulty in filling
vacant positions. Therefore, the Department has had to rely heavily
on the registry services in order to provide quality nursing care for
patients.
Approval of Contract #26-260-2 will allow the Contractor to provide
nursing care for County's patients, as required by the Department,
through September 30, 1998.
