RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Citrix Systems Inc. in an amount not to exceed $273,000 for purchase of Citrix maintenance support for our Epic Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for the period October 1, 2015 through October 17, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
This Purchase Order is for the renewal of software maintenance, and technical support for Citrix Terminal Services which is required for the Epic Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Utilizing Citrix will also allow secure access from nearly any device accessing the Epic EHR.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without a current maintenance and technical agreement, Contra Costa Health Services would not be able to receive support in the event of a software or technical issue.
