RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Department to execute (1) a Purchase Order with Wolters Kluwer Clinical Drug Information, Inc. (WKCDI), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $38,297 for the licensed content of drug-disease databases, and (2) the Content License Agreement and Exhibit 1 thereto for the period of April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) utilizes multiple database platforms to assist clinicians with drug utilization and associated costs through the application of advanced analytics. The license is for access to several databases to monitor the drug-disease interaction information service for ambulatory dispensing. The point of care references and embedded drug data solutions are trusted to help elevate quality, reduce costs, and improve patient outcomes.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The content license agreement provides that the County will indemnify WKCDI for any claims, losses and damages related to the County’s use or misuse of the licensed content.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this renewal is not approved, the clinical information necessary to enable coordination of care will be limited or not available, and patient care would be severely jeopardized.
