RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Director, to execute (1) a purchase order with VigiLanz Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $178,650, for the renewal of Dynamic Monitoring Suite software maintenance, support and hosting for the period January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2018, and (2) a Software as a Service (SaaS) License Agreement for the term January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

VigiLanz Dynamic Monitoring Suite is a complete real-time decision support and care management solution for our clinical pharmacies. VigiLanz helps clinical pharmacists conduct more thorough medication real-time oversight to identify, anticipate and prevent Adverse Drug Events (ADEs). VigiLanz provides the solution through a software as a service (SaaS) arrangement and hosts the software and data.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of the renewal will allow the vendor to continue providing services through December 31, 2018. The Agreement obligates the County to indemnify VigiLanz for losses arising out of (i) the diagnosis, care and treatment of County’s patients, (ii) County’s breach of the agreement; and (iii) any negligence, gross negligence or intentional misconduct by County in performing under the agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to renew this application could cause pharmacists not to be alerted to drug interactions which could cause Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) in patients.
