Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Authorize the Purchasing Manager for Natividad Medical Center (NMC) to execute the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (A-11514) between The Regents of the University of California, a California Constitution corporation, on behalf of the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics ("UCSF"), and Natividad Medical Center ("NMC") to provide Neonatology Services at NMC, extending the term Agreement to October 31, 2013, for a total amount not to exceed $1,050,000 (no change from the previously approved amount) in the aggregate.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Natividad Medical Center's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit ("NICU") provides stabilization of the initially ill newborn and intermediate intensive care as well as continuing care for growing newborns. NMC currently has an agreement with UCSF School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics to provide two highly trained neonatologists / pediatricians for physician coverage of infants admitted to the NICU as well as oversight and medical direction of the unit.
NMC wishes to amend the agreement to extend the term an additional twelve (12) months in order to continue to provide quality neonatal services to NICU patients without interruption. The initial maximum liability of the agreement was not reached, therefore, no additional funds are being added in this Amendment.
