Report Title: Add one (1) CCRMC Chief Executive Officer - Exempt (VCB2) in the Health Services Department
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26305 to add one (1) CCRMC Chief Executive Officer - Exempt (VCB2) in salary plan and grade B85 2645 ($35,113) in the Health Services Department
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will incur an annual cost of $676,706.22 which includes $98,859.78. The position will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I.
BACKGROUND:
In recent years, the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Medical Officer (CMO) role have been a combined position. Now, due to the increasing scope and responsibilities for each of these roles, the Contra Costa Health is requesting to reintroduce the CCRMC Chief Executive Officer - Exempt position to hospital services. The CCRMC CEO is an executive position that will oversee ongoing and newly significant priorities including expanding access for the increasing patient population that we serve, planned CCRMC campus expansion, and public hospital finance changes in supplemental payments. As a result, the CCRMC CMO will then have more focus on medical care program administration for CCRMC and Health Centers and assure effective and efficient delivery of quality medical care consistent with the mission and vision of CCRMC.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without a CCRMC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and separate Chief Medical Officer (CMO), the hospital will have inadequate, limited leadership to fulfill its responsibilities of delivering quality medical care and maintaining operational readiness to respond efficiently to everchanging priorities and regulatory changes.
