By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator
DATE', May 21, 1986 Coir till
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract 4426-110-11 with Medical Personnel Pool Illi
of Contra Costa County, Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the County, Contract
426-110-11 with Medical Personnel Pool of Contra Costa County, Inc. in the amount
of $100,000 for the period July 1, 1986 - June 30, 1987 for provision of on-call
Registered Nurses through this temporary help firm - nursing registry.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for this service will be included in the FY 1986-87 Department Budget.
Actual cost to County depends upon utilization. As appropriate, patients and/or
third-party payors will be billed for services . The FY 1985-86 contract payment
limit . was $120,000, and the FY 1986-87 payment limit is . $100,000. The decreased
contract payment limit is due to development of an in-house floating nurse staff
which has reduced the need for registry nurses. Registered Nurses under this
contract will only be used during peak loads created by fluctuating patient census,
in emergency situations, and to cover temporary absences of staff nurses or
unfilled staff positions .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Merrithew Memorial Hospital requires services of on-call Registered Nurses during
peak loads, in emergency situations, and to cover temporary absences of staff nur-
ses. A contract with a nursing registry is the most expeditious method of filling
this need. The department has contracted with several such temporary help firms
for nursing services . On June 18, 1985, the Board approved Contract #26-110-10
with Medical Personnel Pool of Contra Costa County, Inc. (nursing registry) for On
call Registered Nurses. Contract 4426-110-11 continues the registry services during
FY 1986-87.
This document has been approved by the Department's Contracts and Grants
Administrator in accordance with the guidelines approved by the Board's Order of
December 1, 1981 (Guidelines for contract preparation and processing, Health
Services Department) .
