RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Philips Healthcare Corporation in an amount not to exceed $146,955 for the purchase of a Philips Ultrasound Machine, model Epiq 5C at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period October 1, 2016 through April 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

The Epiq 5C will greatly improve the diagnosis of patients at the CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers by providing a reliable, portable solution. This will result in ease of scanning, superior imaging quality, speedier results, improved accuracy and comfort to patients. Philips Healthcare Corporation provides the most versatile and reliable cardiologic ultrasound to improve patient care and treatment of cardiologic abnormalities. This will enable the CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers to provide an improved patient experience for cardiologic procedures.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase is not approved, the medical staff will not have access to the portable cardiac ultrasound equipment needed to provide the quality of care they require that will also improve the patient experience.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
