RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Groupware Technology, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $136,510 for the purchase of Pure Storage FlashArray hardware and support services for the period from May 27, 2019 through May 26, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Health Services Information Technology (IT) currently owns Pure Storage arrays, which stores ccLink electronic medical records (EMR) data. This purchase is for Pure Storage arrays to increase capacity of existing storage to house all associated Epic EMR data and expand the Epic Cache Storage. Additional disc storage will expand the amount of online medical record data available to providers and provide a faster storage system. This purchase includes maintenance and support.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The County and Pure Storage entered into an End User Agreement dated April 21, 2017 which includes terms and conditions governing the County’s use of Pure Storage products.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this purchase, Health Services IT will be unable to adequately store patient Epic EMR patient data and other critical healthcare information. This could lead to loss of existing data through overwriting or loss of new data due to an inability to store it.
