RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Director, to execute a purchase order with Forward Advantage, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,055,292 for the renewal of Imprivata SSO Software and Confirm ID software for electronic prescribing of controlled substances, and iGel Workspace software, for the period December 14, 2021 through February 7, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This purchase order will result in expenditures of up to $1,055,292 over a 4-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

Forward Advantage is the authorized reseller of Imprivata, Inc. single sign-on (SSO) software and Confirm ID for EPCS. Imprivata SSO Software meets the needs of the Health Services Department by offering a solution that addresses access challenges. This sign-on solution significantly reduces the number of clicks required to log on to various systems and eliminates the need to remember or enter application usernames and passwords.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

E-Prescribing (EPCS) allows doctors to prescribe medicine using a Token ID & a Windows ID in Epic and provides robust identification capabilities required by law when electronically prescribing controlled substances. Forward Advantage is also the authorized reseller of iGel Workspace Edition (OS 11 & UMS) Solution which serves as a troubleshooting service within the County’s environment. IGEL Workspace Edition OS 11 is a foundation for secure endpoint control over cloud workspaces. This solution turns any compatible device or thin client into a secure IGEL-managed endpoint serving as a virtualized environment for dumb terminals.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, Contra Costa Health Services will miss out on a strict pricing deadline resulting in an increase of $200,000 in additional charges for Imprivata’s SSO Software, Confirm ID for EPCS, and iGel’s Workspace Edition Solution.
