At the conclusion of the 1988 contract negotiations between the
County and the California Nurses Association (CNA) , agreement was
reached with regard to the development of a new Patient
Classification System for Merrithew Memorial Hospital. Pursuant
to this agreement, a representative committee was convened, and '
the committee subsequently selected Patricia A. Carini, R.N.
M.P.A. as the appropriate consultant to assist the Hospital with
selection and implementation of a new system.
The project' has taken longer to " complete than originally
anticipated, ,' even though Ms. Carini has been working steadily" on ,
the project since the County contracted with her in 1989 .
Approval of Contract Extension Agreement #26-183-2 will extend the
term of the contract to allow County' s staff and the Contractor to,. ...,
continue to work together on this vital project through May 3141
1993 . The original Contract Payment Limit for this project was
$55, 000 and this has not been increased over the term of the
project.
