RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with Citrix Systems Inc., in an amount not to exceed $294,245, to purchase Citrix software licensing support and hardware maintenance services, for the period October 31, 2019 through October 31, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
The Epic Electronic Health Record (EHR) system requires the use of Citrix Terminal Services. Citrix software allows the Health Services Department (HSD) staff access to the Epic EHR system. Citrix also improves remote access to the Epic EHR for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center on-call clinical staff. HSD needs to renew Citrix Subscription Advantage support and appliance maintenance to comply with Epic mandated continued support requirements. This year Citrix consolidated products to unify their portfolio offerings, which is reflected in the consolidation of previous Purchase Orders F013786 and F013570.
