The County has contracted for many years with registries to provide temporary help services to assist Contra
Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Clinics during peak loads, temporary absences, and emergency
situations. For example, given the uncertainty of the duration of Worker's compensation/leaves of absence,
the use of registries allows the Department to obtain temporary registry help on short notice, and only until the
employee is able to return to work. Other usage is to cover nights and weekend shifts in Admissions, which
have historically been difficult to fill on a permanent basis, although efforts continue.
Lander Contract #26-505 the Contractor will provide temporary admitting, registration, billing, and collection
professionals for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center,through December 31, 2005.
