To: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS 1. 3-7
FROM: MarkTFinucane, Health Services Director Contra
Costa
DATE: March 10, 1995 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-214-7 with
Therapy Connection, Inc.
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, Contract Amendment
Agreement #26-214-7, effective February 10, 1995, to amend Standard
Contract #26-214-6 (effective November 1, 1994 through October 31, 1995)
with Therapy Connection, Inc. , for provision of physical and occupa-
tional therapy services at Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics.
This Contract Amendment Agreement will increase the contract payment
limit by $50, 000, from $50, 000 to a new total payment limit of
$100, 000.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Health Services Department Enterprise
I budget, to be funded by salary savings generated through vacant
physical and occupational therapy positions.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On December 6, 1994, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard
Contract #26-214-6 with Therapy Connection, Inc. , for physical and
occupational therapy services at Merrithew Memorial Hospital and
Clinics. The Department continues to be unable to fill vacant physical
and occupational therapy positions, and has had to rely heavily on
registry therapists, when they are available.
The increase in the payment limit is due to increased patient activity
which the Hospital has experienced and expects to continue. Approval
of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-214-7 will allow the Contractor to
continue providing therapy services through October 31, 1995.
