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 the amount not to exceed $433,282 for the purchase of Philips Avalon FM50 Fetal Monitors, 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 Avalon FM50’s will greatly improve the monitoring of expectant mothers at the CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers by providing a reliable, cordless, more robust, ability to monitor the patients. This will result in improved accuracy and comfort for expectant mothers. Philips Healthcare Corporation provides the most versatile, reliable fetal monitor. This will enable CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers to provide an improved patient experience for prenatal monitoring.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, the CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers will not be able to allow the Labor and Delivery staff to provide the quality of care that they require for improving the patient experience.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
