RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, an Order Form and Terms of Use Agreement, including modified indemnity, with RadicaLogic Technologies, Inc. (dba RL Solutions), in an amount not to exceed $55,000, to provide upgrades and maintenance for the automated incident Safety Event Reporting System (SERS) software, for the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers are required by SB1301 (reporting of Adverse Events) to report incidents and events to the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) within 5 days after the event has been detected. The Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers has used RL Solutions for SERS reporting since 2007. The current version RL4 is no longer supported and an upgrade to RL6 is required. Approval of the purchase order will procure the required software upgrade and maintenance services through December 31, 2021. The Terms of Use Agreement requires the County to indemnify RL Solutions against claims arising from County’s misuse of the licensed products.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this upgrade, the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers would be non-compliant with current adverse reporting requirements and could be exposed to financial penalties if audited by the Department of Health Care Services.
