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 NextGate’s Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI), Change Healthcare’s Picture Archiving and Communication System (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 shall be renewing the license and support for our current 100 connections.
We are also requesting an additional 20 connections for the first year, and 15 connections each for the second and third year of the agreement. There will be a total of 50 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.
