SUBJECT: Approval of Contract#26-391-10 with Maxim Health Care Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Service Director or his designee (Jeff Smith, M.D.), to execute on
behalf of the County, Contract #26-391-10 with Maxim Health Care Services, a corporation, in an
amount not to exceed$450,000, to provide temporary registry services at Contra Costa Regional Medical
Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from September 1, 2008 through August 31,
2009.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is 100% funded by the Enterprise Fund I.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
For several years the County has contracted with nursing registries to provide temporary licensed nursing
personnel to assist Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers during peak
loads, temporary absences and emergency situations in critical areas. There is a nationwide nursing
shortage, and in spite of persistent efforts to recruit nurses, 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.
On October 9, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-391-7 (as amended by
Amendment Agreements #26-391-8 and #26-391-9) with Maxim Healthcare Services, for the period
from September 1, 2007 through August 31, 2008, for the provision of temporary help services
including nurses, therapists, radiologists and medical records coders for Contra Costa Regional
Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.
Approval of Contract #26-391-10 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide services, through
August 31, 2009.
