I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County,
Renewal Contract #26-183-1 with Patricia A. Carini, R.N. , M.P.A. for

III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On May 16, 1989, the Board approved Standard Contract #26-183
(effective April 1, 1989 through May 31, 1990) with Patricia A.
Carini, R.N. , M.P.A. , for consultation and technical assistance with
regard to a Patient Classification System. Patient Classification
Systems are mandated by JCAHO and Title XXII, and an updated system
for Merrithew Memorial Hospital is essential because of the heavy
workload for nurses and the increased acuity of the patients.
At the conclusion of the 1988 contract negotiations between the
County and California Nurses Association , agreement was reached with
regard to development of a new Patient Classification System for the
Hospital. Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Carini was selected by a
representative committee as the consultant to assist the Hospital
with selection and implementation of a new system.
Approval of Renewal Contract #26-183-1 will continue the services of
the Contractor through May 31, 1991.
