RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Up To Date, Inc. in the amount of $125,752 for access by physicians at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and the Contra Costa Health Centers to an online database from June 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Up To Date, Inc. has provided an electronic online database for a number of years. It allows the physicians to look up information very quickly. This database assists in decision making to provide safe, effective, and efficient patient care.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, patient care could be impacted because physicians will be deprived of a crucial tool used in the treating of patients.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
