RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Stryker Endoscopy, in the amount of $450,000 for the period July 11, 2015 through July 10, 2017 for the purchase of endoscopic products and other medical supplies used in the operating room.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Stryker Endoscopy provides products used to perform endoscopic surgeries. The availability of these products enables providers to perform less costly, non-invasive endoscopic procedures.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, non-invasive endoscopic general and orthopedic surgeries could not be performed at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, resulting in costly, invasive surgeries that will put patients at greater risk, require inpatient hospitalization, and require a longer recovery time.
