For several years the County has contracted with registries to provide
temporary medical professionals to assist Contra Costa Regional
Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers during peak loads,
temporary absences, and emergency situations . There is a nationwide
nursing and healthcare staff shortage, and in spite of persistent
efforts to recruit nurses and other healthcare staff, 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 .
Under Contract #26-385, California Nurses Bureau will provide
temporary nursing services, as requested by the Department, through
December 31, 2002 .
