Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Board of Supervisors:
Authorize the Chief Executive Officer for Natividad Medical Center (NMC) or his designee to execute renewal and amendment No. 3 to the agreement (A-13074) with Forward Advantage, Inc. for the Imprivata product, a single sign-on solution used by NMC Physicians and Clinical Staff, extending the agreement an additional one (1) year period (March 23, 2021 through March 22, 2022) for a revised full agreement term of March 23, 2016 through March 22, 2022, and adding $37,200 for a revised total agreement amount not to exceed $423,767.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Imprivata OneSign is a Single Sign On (SSO) solution that enables NMC users to quickly and securely access clinical and administrative applications with one username and password. In the course of treating patients, personnel need to access multiple applications, including the MEDITECH electronic health record system. Prior to implementing Imprivata OneSign, the act of logging in/logging out of multiple systems throughout the workday had caused noticeable inefficiencies. The implementation of OneSign has resulted in an appreciable difference in time and staff resources. The Imprivata tool further speeds up access by utilizing the employee’s badge and a reader as part of the sign-on process.
Another important capability of this system is an always-available employee self-service portal to aid with forgotten passwords and lockouts, further enhancing employee productivity.
This request includes the extension of maintenance and support for an additional one (1) year.
