SUBJECT: Approval of Contract#26-327-13 with On Assignment Healthcare Staffing (dba On Assignment
Staffing Services Inc.)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Jeff Smith, M.D.), to
execute on behalf of the County, Contract #26-327-13 with On Assignment Healthcare Staffing
(dba On Assignment Staffing Services Inc.), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed
$1,500,000, to provide temporary admitting, registration, billing, and collection professionals, for
the period from June 1, 2006 through May 31, 2007.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this contract is 100% Enterprise I budget funds.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The County has contracted for many years with registries to provide temporary help services to
assist Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Clinics during peak loads, temporary
absences, and emergency situations. For example, given the uncertainty of the duration of
Worker's compensation/leaves of absence, the use of registries allows the Department to obtain
temporary registry help on short notice, and only until the employee is able to return to work.
Other usage is to cover nights and weekend shifts in Admissions, which have historically been
difficult to fill on a permanent basis, although efforts continue.
On June 14, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-327-12, with On Assignment
Staffing Services, Inc. (dba On Assignment Healthcare Staffing), now known as On Assignment
Healthcare Staffing (dba On Assignment Staffing Services Inc.), for the provision of temporary
admitting, billing, and collection professionals to provide coverage at Contra Costa Regional
Medical Center and Health Centers, for the period from June 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006.
Approval of Contract #26-327-13 will allow On Assignment Healthcare Staffing (dba On
Assignment Staffing Services Inc.) to continue providing temporary help services, on an as-
needed basis, through May 31, 2007.
