Explanation
BACKGROUND: Columbus Public Health (CPH) operates the Ben Franklin Tuberculosis Clinic under a grant received from the Franklin County Board of Commissioners. Pharmacist services are necessary for this clinic to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy. Needed services include: oversight of the storage, inventory, and ordering of stock medications; patient chart review and patient education; staff training and assisting the clinic physicians. Ordinance No. 0221-2017 authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with Pharmacy People Inc., for radiology services for the Ben Franklin Tuberculosis Clinic, for the period of February 1, 2017, through January 31, 2018 in the amount of $24,772.80.
This ordinance is necessary to authorize the Board of Health to increase and modify the existing contract with Pharmacy People, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $4,511.71, for a total contract amount of $29,284.51, and is for the contract period through January 31, 2018. More clients are being seen in the clinic than initially projected and more radiology services are needed than anticipated. The modification amount was determined by comparing clients seen to date with time remaining in the contract year, verses clients who need radiology services.
The contract compliance number for Pharmacy People is 311201354, which is valid through March 31, 2018. Emergency action is requested in order to provide continued radiology services for patients of the Tuberculosis Clinic.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are budgeted in the Health Department Grants Fund for radiology services for the Tuberculosis Clinic. Franklin County will reimburse all expenses under this contract modification.
