RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department to execute, a Purchase Order with Capsule Technologie, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $300,000, for the purchase of a medical device connectivity system for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Purchase is fully paid for from (a) the Medicare & Medicaid Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Program of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and (b) the Delivery System Reform and Incentive Pool (DSRIP) funding.

BACKGROUND:

The Capsule Technologie, Inc. medical device connectivity system will allow the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers (CCRMC) to connect virtually any medical device to the Epic Electronic Health Record (EHR) System.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to purchase this system would prevent the Department from being able to take maximum advantage of the technologies available through the Epic EHR.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
