RE: SIDE LETTER ON FALLBACK STAFFING FOR EXTRA-HOURS CLINICS
I
Dear Dr. Daniels:
This side letter to the MOU confirms an agreement between the Health Services
Department (HSD) and the Physicians and Dentists Organization of Contra Costa County
(PDOCC) regarding the scheduling of physicians to staff extended-hour clinics in the
Patients Choice Program. This agreement shall be effective July 8, 1996 and will remain in
effect concurrent with the MOU until the HSD exercises the right to reopen as described
below in Section No.7. i
1. Fallback duty means the scheduling of one or more Physicians to an extended-hour
clinic which has been scheduled to meet peak patient demands under the Patients
Choice Program. Fallback clinics will be scheduled to last five (5) hours or less.
2. All fallback duty by Physicians shall be on a voluntary basis.
Physicians who work in an extended-hours clinic shall be compensated at the
physician's base rate plus.$42 per.hour. Any Resident who-works.in an.extended-
hours clinic shall be compensated at the existing Additional-Duty-Pay-rate plus
S42.00 per hour.
4. Physicians who work in an extended-hours clinic shall be guaranteed a minimum of
two hours pay at the rate described in 3 above. This guarantee shallbein effect as
soon as the volunteer physician is notified that her/his services will be needed for
fallback for a specific date.
5. The Heath Services Department will establish an administrative procedure which will
allow individual Physicians to voluntarily sign up for potential fallback duty in
advance by designating those days on which they are available. To the extent
possible. the HSO will schedule fallback clinics to qualified physicians from the
voluntary sign up list in the order of sign up. The `HSD. will provide notice to
physicians regarding the voluntary advance sign up procedure.
F�
I I
6. In addition, the HSD will encourage all eligible physician staff to otherwise keep the
fallback scheduling office regularly informed as to their general availability for I
fallback duty. This information will not be held as a commitment of availability by the
physician, but will comprise an initial "callup pool' of physicians to be contacted for
I voluntary service in the event that an extended-hours clinic must be staffed and no
physicians have signed up for that date. The HSD may seek volunteers from among
all qualified physicians. I
7. At any time subsequent to the date of this agreement, the HSD may determine that
the aforementioned voluntary fallback plan is unsatisfactory for meeting the staffing
needs of extended-hours clinics and may reopen the subject of fallback clinic
staffing with PDOCC. i
An unsatisfactory determination may be made if one or more extended-hour clinics
must be cancelled due to lack of volunteers or administrative efforts required to
obtain volunteers by calls to physicians are deemed excessive.
