Subject:Purchase Order with Clarity Software Solutions, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
utilization of Clarity Software Solutions has been steadily increasing due to a general rise in
enrollment and the State mandated transition of the fee-for-services “Seniors and Persons
with Disabilities” (SPD) population into managed care. Starting in June 2011, this transition
of SPD’s alone is expected to bring an additional 10,000 Medi-Cal SPD members into the
Plan. These increased enrollment trends are what necessitate and increase in the payment
limit of this Purchase Order.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, CCHP will not be able to continue routine monthly
payments to Clarity Software Solutions, Inc., as the current Purchase Order will expire
3/31/2012, and current available funds have reached the PO payment limit.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
