Report

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:

a. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer for Natividad or his designee to execute the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (A-15373) with The Regents of the University of California, on behalf of the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics (UCSF) to provide pediatric hospitalist services, extending the term by twelve months (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023) for a revised full agreement term of July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, adding $200,000 for a revised amount not to exceed $433,520 in the aggregate; and

b. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer for Natividad or his designee to sign up to three (3) future amendments to this Agreement where the total amendments do not exceed 10% ($23,352) of the original contract amount and do not significantly change the scope of work.

 

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:

Natividad operates a twelve-bed pediatric unit and an eighteen-bed maternal infant unit providing medical care for newborns, children and adolescents, as well as hospital based services for the pediatric population (age 0-21) through NMC’s emergency medicine, trauma programs, general surgery and outpatient specialty clinics.

 

Natividad would like to amend its agreement with UCSF, for which Dr. Christopher Carpenter, a board-certified pediatric hospitalist participates in the call panel and provides pediatric patient care as needed. Natividad has obtained an independent opinion of fair market value supporting the payment terms of this agreement.

 

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

County Counsel has reviewed and approved this amendment as to legal form.  Auditor-Controller has reviewed and approved this Agreement as to fiscal provisions.  The amendment was not placed on Natividad’s Finance Committee or Board of Trustees agendas in order to ensure compliance with conflict of interest laws.

 

FINANCING

The cost of this amendment is $200,000, the actual cost is dependent on the need for coverage and Dr. Carpenter’s availability.  The total not to exceed amount of this agreement is $433,520 for the period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023.  $200,000 is included in the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 Recommended Budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.

 

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:

Partnering with UCSF will enhance the breadth of services now being provided at NMC for children in Monterey and neighboring counties, thus allowing more children to remain closer to home for their acute pediatric care rather than being transferred to distant Northern California Bay Area hospitals.
