Family Ways
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County,
Standard Contract #26-176-9 with Family Ways in the amount of
$500, 000 for the period from July 1, 1992 - June 30, 1993 to provide
nursing registry services at Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is included in the Health Services Department Enter-
prise I budget projection for FY 1992-93 , to be funded by salary
savings generated through vacant registered nurse positions.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For several years the County has contracted with nursing registries
to provide temporary licensed nursing personnel to assist Merrithew
Memorial Hospital and Clinics during peak loads, temporary absences
and emergency situations. 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.
Approval of Contract #26-176-9 will ensure the Department's ability
to provide nursing care for the County's patients, while continuing
its efforts to hire permanent nursing staff.
