Subject:Purchase Order with Meditech for Information Technology Maintenance
The annual maintenance allows Contra Costa Health Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to upgrade Meditech to a later version of the system periodically or annually to ensure that
Contra Costa Health Services version has up to date features, fixes and
functionalities which contribute to the overall health of the system. It also allows Contra
Costa Health Services Information Systems Dept staff to report and escalate system issues to
Meditech for analysis and resolution.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase is not approved, the Department would not be able to provide services
electronically to our patients. Meditech also handles all pharmacy requests, radiology
imaging reporting and integrates with the pharmacy system at the jail. Without this system
we would not be able to send medication to inmates, and in-patients.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
