BACKGROUND: This contract covers all physician services for the health department, including communicable disease consultation, clinic supervision and direct clinical services, mandated oversight of nurse practitioners, and consultation on protocol development and quality assurance. The contract this year is an increase from .52 FTE to .70 FTE services to increase continuity of services by a single physician, an increased need for responsiveness to communicable disease situations, and an increasing need to assist in protocol development and ongoing quality assurance mechanisms. Back-up services are also included in the contract for vacation and sick coverage. The contract amount is $110,000 for the year and represents a decrease in the dollar per hour amount of last year's contract. This is due to the mix of physicians that will actually be serving the department. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The contract for FY 1999-200D was $84,852 and the proposed contract for FY 2DD0-2001 is $110,000. This represents a time increase from .52 FTE to .70 FTE over last year's contract. The actual dollar per hour rate is a decrease over last year's contract. This amount has been included in the department's requested budget for FY 2000-2001. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the contract subject to the approval of the 2000-2001 budget and authorize the Chair to sign.
