RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department to issue Purchase Order with Philips Medical, in the amount of $381,099.67, to purchase of 19 Philips Physiologic Bedside patient monitors and related software, installation and ancillary costs for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

The bedside patient monitors in CCU and IMCU are connected to the patient and output physiologic data such as blood pressure, oxygen saturation, ecg, cardiac output, carbon dioxide, arterial and venous pressure. Our existing Philips Merlin bedside physiologic monitors in IMCU and CCU are old and out of support by the manufacturer. Parts, service and technical support will be unavailable. These devices are also on the Capital Equipment Replacement Report, scheduled for replacement last year. Philips MP50 bedside monitors are the chosen replacement by IMCU/CCU staff. In addition to the issues stated above, our existing Philips bedside monitors will not allow a complete interface with EPIC. EPIC staff and our IS Dept. require that all bedside physiologic monitors be networked together, connected to local application servers, which in turn are connected to a database server. An HL7 interface will be connected to the database server which in turn will be connected to ccLink (EPIC). This will not be possible with our existing bedside monitors.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase is not approved patient data from the bedside monitors in CCU and IMCU will be unable to interface with EPIC and service and repair of our existing monitors will not be possible.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
