RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment to the Purchase Order with GCX Corp. to add $99,000 for a new total payment limit of $189,000 for Health Care Interpreter Network (HCIN) computer, monitors and wall mounting supplies at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers, with no change in the term of January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.

BACKGROUND:

GCX Corp. has provided needed Computer and HCIN Wall Mounting solutions since we instituted our Electronic Medical Record (EMR), known as ccLink in 2012. Due to the current remodel of the Emergency and Diagnostic Imaging Departments at the CCRMC, and numerous Health Center remodels and new construction, CCRMC is adding more computers and HCIN units that need to be mounted on the walls.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Computers and HCIN phones are attached to wall mounts in patient rooms at the Hospital and exam rooms in the Clinics. We have had an increasing number of requests for such wall mounts in the Clinics and they are also being added through new construction. Electronic Medical Records are used to manage patient care and they provide safety in treatment. If this Purchase Order is not approved CCRMC will not be able to effectively treat the increasing number of patients at CCRMC and Health Centers.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
