RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with the Echo Group, Inc. in an amount not exceed $460,740.00 for the annual InSyst/PSP software and hardware maintenance for the Behavioral Health Services Division, Mental Health, and Alcohol and other Drugs Services, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$437,740 Mental Health Realignment and $23,000 General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Since 1999, the Behavioral Health Services Division has used the Echo Group’s InSyst/PSP system to process the Health Services Department’s Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drugs Services client registrations, services charges, billing accounts receivable, fiscal reporting, and schedule functions. The County owns a perpetual license for the InSyst/PSP System.



CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, vendor support for the InSyst/PSP system would cease, and Health Services would be unable to obtain application software upgrades and/or regulatory system modifications. The integrity of service data posted and claims generated from within the system for adjudication by third party payors and the State could be compromised. Failure to renew maintenance support would directly impact patient care.
