RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Sixth Amendment to License Agreement with First Databank, Inc., and a Purchase Order in an amount not to exceed $200,242 for the renewal of MedKnowledge software licenses and support for the period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Since 2011 Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) has utilized the First Databank, Inc. drug ordering knowledge database (MedKnowledge) and software for physicians to accurately prescribe medications, resulting in fewer adverse drug events.  
  





BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The sixth amendment extends the License Agreement term until June 30, 2020 and updates the current pricing for the software.  
  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, CCHS physicians will not have access to this drug database that enables them to make more precise medication-related decisions that improve patient safety and healthcare outcomes.
