RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approval and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of Health Services Department, to execute an amendment to Purchase Order #F46963 with Zebra Technologies to add $140,000 to a new total of $540,000, to provide patient wrist bands and labeling at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, with no change in the original term of June 5, 2013 through June 4, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Funding is included in the Enterprise Fund I Budget.

BACKGROUND:

Zebra Technologies provides the labels and wrist bands used to identify patients at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers. This is essential to patient identification and safety. Zebra Technologies is a Novation Group Purchasing vendor, thereby ensuring that the County has secured the best prices for these products.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, the risk of misidentifying patients would increase, which could result in harm to patients.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
