RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a (1) Purchase Order with Datix (USA), Inc., in the amount of $102,000 for renewal of incident management software and maintenance for the period of May 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019, and (2) Consent to Assignment and Amendment to Agreement, extending the contract term through April 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

County entered into the Pavisse Agreement with RGP Healthcare for the period October 7, 2014, through April 30, 2018. In November 2017, Datix (USA), Inc., assumed all of RGP Healthcare’s rights, obligations, liabilities, and interest in and under the Pavisse Agreement. The Consent to Assignment and Amendment reflects County’s consent to the assignment of the contract from RGP Healthcare to Datix (USA), Inc., and extends the term of the Pavisse Agreement by one year through April 30, 2019. The Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986 (HCQIA) established a complex and complicated set of elements that the peer review process must adhere to in order for healthcare facilities (and those who participate in the hospital peer review process) to qualify for immunity from liability for civil money damages. The Pavisse software allows Contra Costa County to manage peer review requirements in a compliant manner.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Health Services Department will not be in compliance with managing peer review requirements, resulting in loss of Physician Peer Review data.
