SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Jeff Smith, MD) to execute on
behalf of the County, Contract#26-260-15 with Preferred Staffing, Inc., a corporation, in an amount
not to exceed $50,000, to provide nursing registry services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
and Contra Costa Health Centers and the Detention Facilities, for the period from August 1, 2007
through July 31, 2008.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100%by budgeted Enterprise I.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
For several years, the County has contracted with nursing registries to provide temporary licensed
nursing personnel to assist Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and the Contra Costa Health
Centers during peak loads, temporary absences, and emergency situations. There continues to be a
nationwide nursing shortage, and in spite of persistent efforts to recruit nurses, the Department has
experienced difficulty in filling vacant positions. Therefore, the Department has had to rely heavily
on the registry services in order to provide quality-nursing care for patients.
On August 8, 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract#26-260-14 with Preferred Staffing,
Inc., for the period from August 1, 2006 through July 31, 2007, for the provision of nursing registry
services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.
Approval of Contract #26-260-15 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services through
July 31, 2008.
