RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Med One Capital, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $474,518 for lease of the Omnicell Repackager for the Pharmacy Department at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, for the period March 1, 2018 through February 28, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
The Omnicell Repackager enables the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center's Pharmacy Division to operate much more efficiently and optimize work flow. Pharmacy operations and the work flow could further be optimized by increasing the frequency of drug distribution to more than once a day, using the Omnicell Repackager. In doing so, the pharmacy can minimize volume of returned to stock items which is quite time consuming. The Pharmacy Division has observed over the years how beneficial the Omnicell Repackager has been for the Detention facilities and has decided to replicate this model. Overall, the intent is to improve efficiency of the work flow and to conserve the cost of manpower.
