RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute a Software Subscription Agreement with UptoDate, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $159,699 for the purchase of online medical information database site licenses for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers for the period June 1, 2018 through May 31, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
The CCRMC’s medical staff uses UptoDate, an evidence-based clinical decision support software system, to access the most current medical information at the point-of-care. This information helps them make the critical decisions that are necessary for safe, effective, and efficient patient care.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this agreement is not approved, the CCRMC will not have internet access at the point-of-care to the most current medical information needed to treat its patients.
