RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller or designee, to pay an amount not to exceed $42,652 to Cardinal Health 414, LLC, for the purchase of Lymphoseek, a tracer used for Lymphoscintigraphy exams in the Diagnostic Imaging Department, for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers for the period of December 1 2021, through December 31, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action will result in a one-time expenditure in an amount up to $42,652 and will be funded by the Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.
BACKGROUND:
The utilization of injectable tracers is particularly vital to CCRMC patients as without this on-site service, our most vulnerable patients would be required to receive their Lymphoscintigraphy exam at the Veterans Department of Affairs Hospital and their Needle Localization exam at CCRMC. Providing this service on-site prevents the patient from traveling from hospital to hospital, avoiding the possibility of a tracer becoming no longer viable and an appointment having to be rescheduled.
