RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-528-6 with Acusis, LLC, a corporation, effective January 1, 2012, to amend Contract #26-528-4 (as amended by Assignment Agreement #26-528-5), to increase the payment limit by $3,960, from $1,930,000 to a new payment limit of $1,933,960, with no change in the original term of the agreement of March 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% by Enterprise Fund I. The change in the rate is due to an additional level of services required at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.

BACKGROUND:

On April 12, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-528-4 (as amended by Assignment Agreement #26-528-5) with SPI America, LLC, (now known as Acusis, LLC) for the period from March 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012, for the provision of medical and dictation transcription services for patients at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-528-6 will allow Acusis, LLC to provide an additional level of services to include integration with the EPIC system at Contra Cost Regional Medical Center and Health Centers through September 30, 2012.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the Department will not be able to implement the systems integration at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers with this vendor for the EPIC project.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
