The Albany County Aetna Care Committee on March 25 approved a three‑year contract with CoreTactics Inc. to provide nursing consulting and regulatory compliance services at Shaker Place Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.

Committee members heard from Mr. Olson, who presented the recommendation and the RFP results. "They provide consultation and regulatory compliance services, including quality assurance and performance improvement program review, CMS requirements of participation, and New York state and federal regulatory, changes," Mr. Olson said. He told the committee CoreTactics scored highest among five respondents with an average score of 4.1 and recommended a contract beginning 03/01/2026 at $150,000 per year for a total of $450,000 over three years.

Members asked about the county's experience with the firm; Mr. Olson said he has known the firm's principal for about 25 years and described her as a regional expert in nursing‑home consultation. No opposition was voiced, and the committee approved the contract by voice vote after a motion and second.

The contract follows an RFP process that drew five bidders, including Beacon Solutions Group, Quality Healthcare Staffing, S and S Consulting Group, and Worldwide Travel Staffing Limited. Committee discussion and the presentation focused on quality improvement, workforce development, and supporting nursing administration at Shaker Place.

The approval authorizes county staff to execute the three‑year agreement with CoreTactics and to oversee implementation; the committee did not set additional conditions during the meeting. The committee then moved on to other agenda items.
