RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Director, to execute a Purchase Order with Citrix Systems, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $280,620 for purchase of Citrix software support renewals for the period October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
The Epic Electronic Health Record (HER) system requires the use of Citrix Terminal Services. Citrix software allows Health Services Department staff access to the Epic EHR system. Citrix also improves remote access to the Epic EHR for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center on-call clinical staff. Health Services needs to renew its Citrix Subscription advantage support, extended hours support, and technical relations manager support.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without a current maintenance and technical agreement, Contra Costa Health Services would not be able to receive support in the event of a software or technical issue.
