RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee(Jeff Smith, M.D.)to execute on behalf of
the County, Contract 426-546-3 with Estelle Gregory, M.D., a self-employed individual, in an amount not to
exceed $156,600, to provide professional psychiatric services for the Psychiatric Emergency Room at Contra
Costa Regional Medical Center, for the period from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% by Enterprise I Budget. Cost to the County depends upon utilization. As
appropriate, patients and/or third party payors will be billed for services.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
For a number of years the County has contracted with Medical, Dental and Mental Health Specialists to
provide specialized professional services that are not otherwise available in its Hospital and Health Centers.
Currently, there is an insufficient number of employee physicians to provide the mandated level of coverage at
the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center Psychiatric Emergency Room.
On January 17, 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-546 (as amended by Amendment
Agreement #26-546-1 and #26-546-2) with Estelle Gregory, M.D., for the period from January 1, 2006
through December 31, 2006, for the provision of professional psychiatric services for the Psychiatric
Emergency Room at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.
Approval of Contract #26-546-3 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide psychiatric services through
December 31, 2007.
