Costa
County
Subject:Purchase Order with Tully-Wihr Company
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The hospital wants to continue with Tully-Wihr as our forms vendor in order to minimize
any disruptions in the production and delivery of existing paper forms as we continue in our
conversion to a more paperless provider. We believe that it would be extremely disruptive to
convert to a different forms vendor, and that it would result in minimal, if any, savings in
light of the ongoing trend away from paper forms and to electronic ones.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, Health Services will not be able to obtain the hundreds of
forms it is required to use on a daily basis.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
