RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute, a Purchase Order with One touch Global Technologies, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $395,000, for purchase of hardware, software and maintenance for a RightFax enterprise faxing solution, for the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Purchase Order is fully funded by (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. No County funds required.
BACKGROUND:
RightFax is Epic’s preferred vendor for use with the electronic health record (EHR). Enterprise faxing is a mission critical capability of the Epic EHR.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this purchase is not approved, failure to acquire an enterprise faxing solution will prevent CCHS from being able to take maximum advantage of the technologies available through the Epic EHR.
