BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
|
Dr. James Meier has provided obstetrics and gynecology services to the San Mateo Medical Center for the last several years. In particular these disciplines serve as the basis for routine evaluation and treatment of pre-, intra-, and post partum care (obstetrics) and the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of uterine, ovarian, endometrial, and vaginal disease (gynecology). SMMC has a continuous need for obstetrics and gynecology services and Dr. Meier and his group will offer the hospital the benefits of experienced practitioners familiar with the complex nature of the County’s patient base.
The contract for OBGYN services expired December 31, 2005. The current amendment is a continued extension while the San Mateo Medical Center finalizes a longer term contract that takes into account the comprehensive need for a potential new OB-GYN service.
This Agreement incorporates current HIPAA language. Risk Management and County Counsel have approved the Amendment.
