RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with AGFA Healthcare Corp., in an amount not to exceed $151,000 for a hardware and software upgrade to the Heartlab system for the period from February 14, 2015 through February 13, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

The Heartlab cardiology system is a critical component of our ccLink enterprise-wide electronic health record (EHR). This upgrade will allow the Health Department to upgrade to new software and hardware technologies, increase image quality, and significantly expand the disk space used to store images. The software upgrade will provide increased capabilities for remote cardiologists.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to upgrade the system will not give our cardiologists access to new diagnostic features and capabilities and the continued use of non-supported hardware and software will pose a risk of system failure.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
