RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with GCX Corporation in an amount not to exceed $189,000 for the purchase of Health Care Interpreter Network (HCIN) computers, monitors, and wall mounting supplies at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers, for the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funded by the Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

GCX Corporation has provided needed computer and HCIN wall mounting solutions since CCRMC instituted Electronic Medical Record (EMR), known as ccLink in 2012. Due to the current remodel of the Emergency and Diagnostic Imaging Departments at the CCRMC as well as numerous Health Center remodels and various new construction, CCRMC is adding more computers and HCIN units that need to be mounted on the walls.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Computers and HCIN phones are attached to wall mounts in patient rooms at the Hospital and exam rooms in the Health Centers. CCRMC has had an increasing number of requests for such wall mounts in the Health Centers as well as more being added through new construction. EMRs are used to manage patient care and they provide safety in treatment. If this purchase order is not approved CCRMC will not be able to effectively treat the increasing number of patients at the CCRMC and Health Centers.
