BACKGROUND:
San Mateo County is responsible for providing necessary medical care to its medically indigent population. Since August 1, 2011 Dr. Michael Trindade has provided orthopedic services for San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC), treating musculoskeletal issues. During that time, Dr. Trindade also has served as SMMC's Medical Director for Orthopedics.
DISCUSSION:
Under this agreement, Dr. Trindade has agreed to provide a minimum of 96 half-day orthopedic clinics, including 24 fracture clinics, as well as a minimum of 120 half-day surgery blocks per year.
This agreement is going to your Board late due to prolonged negotiations with Dr. Trindade.
County Administrative Memorandum B-1 provides that contracts for physicians are exempt from the Request for Proposals process.
The agreement and resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel as to form.
The resolution contains the County's standard provisions allowing amendment of the County fiscal obligations by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
