RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #23-513 with Optuminsight, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $250,000, to provide professional consultation and technical assistance to Department’s Information Systems Director with regard to the EPIC Project, for the period from January 17, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Medicare & Medicaid Electronic Health Records Incentive Program of the American Recovery & Reimbursement Act (ARRA) and the Delivery System Reform and Incentive Poop (DSRIP) funding.

BACKGROUND:

Under Contract #23-513, Contractor will provide professional consultation and technical assistance to the Department’s Information Systems Director with regard to the EPIC project, including, but not limited to project management, implementation, integration training, information security and network management support, through December 31, 2012. This contract includes modifications to County Standard General Conditions language. This board order is to inform the Board of Supervisors that this service Contract #23-513 requires the Board’s approval because of a deviation for the Standard County Indemnification Clause and the General Conditions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the Department will not meet the deadline scheduled in June of 2012 to maximum the advantage of the technologies available through the Epic Project.
