RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute (1) an Amendment to existing Purchase Order F006803 with First Databank Inc., to increase the payment limit by $63,750 to a new payment limit of $438,750, and (2) a Fifth Amendment to License Agreement for the addition of Meducation for use in the Ambulatory Clinics for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019, and to update the name of the licensee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Since 2011 Contra Costa Health Services has utilized the First Databank Inc., drug ordering knowledge database (MedKnowledge) and software, allowing physicians to quickly look up and order drugs for patients. The Fifth Amendment will extend the database and license to the Ambulatory sites, and update the name of the licensee.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the MedKnowledge database and software, CCHS physicians may prescribe incorrect medication.
