By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator Costa
CourDATE: April 20, 1993 �JIJ�
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #26-218-6 with Katherine Hughes,
Ph.D.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Frank Puglisi) , to execute on behalf of the County, Standard Contract
#26-218-6 with Katherine Hughes, Ph.D. , in the amount of $35, 000 for
the period March 1, 1993 through February 28, 1994, for provision of
technical assistance and behavioral science consultation services to
the County's Family Practice Residency Program.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for this contract is included in the Department's Enterprise
I Budget. As appropriate, patients and third-party payors will be
billed for Contractor's services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Katherine Hughes, Ph.D. , has provided part-time or temporary back-up
coverage for behavioral science consultation services for Merrithew
Memorial Hospital and Clinics since January, 1991. The Family
Practice Residency Program requires a behavioral science component.
In addition, residents require behavioral consultation on an as needed
basis for their patients seen in the Family Practice Center.
The Behavioral Science section was originally staffed by one full-
time, licensed clinical psychologist and one part-time psychiatrist.
Upon review, the Hospital and Residency Program staff determined that
a part-time psychologist could be substituted for the part-time
psychiatrist, resulting in a cost savings for the Department.
Approval of Standard Contract #26-218-6 will allow the Contractor to
provide consultation and technical assistance to the Family Practice
Residency Program, and supervision of first year residents in the
Family Practice Clinic, through February 28, 1994 .
