Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Board of Supervisors:
a. Authorize the Deputy Purchasing Agent for Natividad Medical Center (NMC) or his designee to execute amendment No. 3 to the agreement (A-13298) with Net Health Systems, Inc. to add a scheduling interface to the ReDoc software and to further amend the Agreement to add the software “Agility” at NMC, with no change in the agreement term of August 31, 2016 through January 29, 2022, and adding $44,180 for a revised total agreement amount not to exceed $316,945.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
NMC currently utilizes Net Health Systems, Inc.’s rehabilitation documentation software (ReDoc) in the outpatient Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy Departments. NMC is requesting the addition of a scheduling interface to the ReDoc software. This interface will allow MEDITECH, NMC’s Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system, and schedules to be ported to ReDoc. This will reduce scheduling inaccuracies and staff workload by preventing double entry of physician and therapist schedules.
In addition, Natividad is adding a software module (Agility) to this agreement for the purpose of recording and tracking services that are provided to employees by the Employee Health Department. This software will allow Natividad to better monitor and report services rendered, such as, TB Screening, Respiratory Fit Testing, Exposure Management and Vaccination Administration in order to meet regulatory requirements for employee health services.
