RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Blanket Purchase Order with Zebra Technologies International LLC., in the amount of $550,000 to purchase patient label sheets and customized adult wrist bands for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and the Contra Costa Health Centers for the period of June 5, 2017 through June 4, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

Zebra Technologies International LLC provides the Health Services Department with customized patient labels and wrist bands. These label sheets and wrist bands are required to identify patient names, birthdays, and allergies when giving medication or performing procedures or surgeries. This is essential to patient identification and safety. This vendor is a Vizient Group Purchasing Organization 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 Health Services Department will be unable to definitively identify patients and confirm who they are before administering medications or doing a procedure or surgery. This could possibly result in the wrong medication being given or the wrong procedure done on the wrong patient.
