SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee(Jeff Smith,M.D.), to execute on behalf of
the County, Contract #26-583 with Specialty Laboratories Inc., a Corporation, in an amount not to exceed
$400,000, for the provision of outside clinical laboratory services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is 100% funded by Enterprise I Funds. As appropriate, patients and third party payors will be
billed for services.
i
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
Certain laboratory tests require equipment not available at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center's laboratory
and are rarely requested tests. Because of the large number and diversity of laboratory tests used by the
medical community to make diagnoses, most hospitals have to utilize outside laboratories as it is too cost
prohibitive to provide all tests on site. Co ntra Costa County has used the services of outside laboratories for
over twenty-five years.
Under Contract #26-583, Specialty Laboratories, Inc will provide outside laboratory services for Contra
Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, through December 31, 2007.
