RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment/Extension Agreement #23-673-1 with Telcor Inc, a corporation, effective December 31, 2022, to amend Contract #23-673, to increase the payment limit by $4,349, from $3,954, to a new payment limit of $8,303, and extend the termination date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023, for additional support services for a glucose monitoring software solution, for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center’s (CCRMC) laboratories.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional annual expenditures of up to $4,349 and will be funded as budgeted by the department in FY 2022-23, by 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (No rate increase).

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the needs of CCRMC patients by providing a Point Of Care (POC) solution with secure access options. Telcor QML® is a POC solution hosted within the County defined data center(s) and available through the County's chosen application distribution mechanism. This solution affords the ability to receive and report results from 150+ different POC medical device(s) that perform testing outside the traditional laboratory setting, such as; the bedside, patient satellite laboratories, stand-alone emergency department units, clinics, physicians’ offices, and jails.

The County has been licensing software from this vendor since at least 2008. In April 2008, the Purchasing Services Manager executed the Telcor Inc. Software Support Agreement (SSA) and License Purchase Agreement (LPA) for the provision of software support services for Telcor QML®., and procurement of the software licensing was processed by way of purchase order through 2021. In 2022, the SSA and LPA underwent legal review, and the renewals of the SSA and LPA are now being processed under contract.

On March 29, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-673 for $3,954 with Telcor under (1) Amendment 1 to the SSA; and (2) Amendment 1 to the LPA for the provision of its glucose monitoring software solution, effective March 29, 2022, through the period ending December 31, 2022. This contract includes a Business Associate Addendum with indemnification limiting Telcor’s liability to exclude incidental or consequential damages.

Approval of Contract Amendment/Extension Agreement #23-673-1 will allow the contractor to continue providing services through December 31, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment/extension is not approved, CCRMC laboratories will not have support for its glucose monitoring software solution. In turn, having a negative impact on patient care. Without support, the software may not function properly causing issues such as misinformation which could ultimately lead to misdiagnosis.
