For several years the County has contracted with nursing registries to 1provide temporary licensed
nursing personnel to assist Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers
during peak loads, temporary absences and emergency situations in critical areas. 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.
On March 1, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-1374-8 with STAT Nursing
I
Services, for the period from April 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006, for the provision of nursing
registry services, including Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners.
Approval of Contract #26-374-9 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services through
March 31, 2007.
