Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department
to execute, a Purchase Order with Nexus IS, Inc., in the amount of $859,000, for the
purchase of Citrix servers and technology required for the Epic Electronic Health Record
(EHR) implementation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Purchase is fully paid for from (a) the Medicare & Medicaid Electronic Health Records
(EHR) Incentive Program of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and (b)
the Delivery System Reform and Incentive Pool (DSRIP) funding.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa Health Services Department is implementing technologies which will
allow clinicians and others to use mobile devices, support the number of users necessary for
business, and allow our employees to work remotely. This technology and configuration
allows for redundancy in the event there is a failure at either of our data centers.

Subject:Purchase Order with Nexus IS, Inc.
If this Purchase is not approved, the Department would not be able to take maximum
advantage of the technologies available through the Epic EHR. Without Citrix we would not
be able to implement the Epic EHR in the Public Health and Mobile Clinics.
