RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #23-638-2 with Cactus Healthcare Resources LLC, a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $2,820,000 to provide consultation, training and technical support to the Department’s Information Systems Unit with regard to information technology analytics, for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $2,820,000 over a 3 year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the needs of the Department’s Information Systems Unit by providing consulting services to augment and assist County staff with technical support and operational improvement initiatives, some of which are related to EPIC, the County’s system for Electronic Health Records.

On June 26, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-638 with Cactus Healthcare Resources, LLC, for the provision of consultation, training, and technical support to the Department’s Information Systems Unit, including information technology analytics and assisting with project management and implementation of new systems, applications and technologies for the period June 1, 2018, through December 31, 2019.

On December 10, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-638-1 with Cactus Healthcare Resources, LLC, for the continued provision of consultation, training, and technical support to the Department’s Information Systems Unit for the period January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2021.

Approval of Contract #23-638-2 will allow the contractor to continue providing services through December 31, 2024. This contract includes services provided by represented classifications and the County has met its obligations with the respective labor partner.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not have the consultation, training, and technical assistance needed on a readily available instance, for the Information Technology Analytics Unit which may have a negative impact on the Department's information systems.
