RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Board of Supervisors:
Authorize the Deputy Purchasing Agent for Natividad Medical Center (NMC) or his designee to execute Renewal and Amendment No. 3 to the agreement with Corepoint Health, LLC for software product and support services, extending the agreement an additional three (3) years March 5, 2023, through March 4, 2026 for a revised full agreement term of March 5, 2016 through March 4, 2026, and adding $245,932 for a revised total agreement amount not to exceed $648,337.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Corepoint Health LLC provides software that allows required interface connectivity between NMC’s Electronic Medical Record (EMR), MEDITECH and third-party systems such as Pyxis, PACS and others via the Corepoint interface engine. These interfaces are necessary to fully integrate data sharing with our Electronic Medical Record utilizing the specialized health care formatting language, Health level 7 (HL7) messages. The Corepoint interface engine additionally allows NMC to monitor and alert on interface transactions as well as modify HL7 messages to meet the specifications of other vendors utilized by NMC. This agreement will renew the license and support for our current 115 connections.
We are also requesting an additional 15 connections each for the first and second year of this agreement. There will be a total of 30 new connections during the term of this agreement. Support fees have been incorporated into the total cost of the connections. This is consistent with new interfaces that are required for evolving needed functionality and regulatory demands currently as well as for the term of the agreement.
This Renewal and Amendment No. 3 has a retroactive date of March 5, 2023, due to a delay in getting the BAA approved.

FINANCING:
