RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #72-145 including indemnification with Sutter Health, a non-profit corporation, to provide access to Sutter Health Electronic Health Records for Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) for the period from September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a non-financial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

Sutter Health has implemented a community-wide health record system (Sutter EHR) utilizing Epic Systems Corporation’s Epic Care software. To make medical records contained in Sutter EHR available to healthcare providers throughout the community, Sutter Health has implemented the Epic Care Link software (SutterLink) to permit portal access to the Medical Records. This contract will establish a relationship between CCHS and Contractor to allow the County access SutterLink. California Children’s Services (CCS) utilizes SutterLink to access referred client’s records to determine medical eligibility for CCS, as well as the review of medical information necessary to authorize CCS services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Contract #72-145 will allow Contractor to provide services through August 31, 2025. The Agreement for Services requires the County to indemnify Sutter Health for any loss, cost, or expense incurred as a result of the County’s use of their service.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Contract is not approved, County will not have access to Contractor’s SutterLink portal.
