RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, (1) a Master Agreement with Change Healthcare, Technologies, LLC and (2) a Purchase Order in the amount of $63,263 for the purchase of annual maintenance of ANSOS staff scheduling software for the period from February 1, 2019 through January 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Entirely funded by the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

Health Services Department utilizes the ANSOS application at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) to drive nursing staff scheduling decisions. The CCRMC scheduling software module uses patient workload data to accurately forecast staffing requirements for the current shift, as well as for a 24-hour projection. This is to renew Purchase Order #F011000 which expired on January 31, 2019.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval will allow the contractor to provide services through January 31, 2020. Execution of the Master Agreement provides that the County will indemnify the Contractor for claims arising from County’s use or inability to use the software. The Master Agreement has been approved as to form by County Counsel.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this scheduling software is not renewed, the CCRMC would encounter nurse scheduling issues which could jeopardize patient care.
