Order with Epic Systems Corporation in an amount not to exceed $8,160,000 for license and maintenance of the Epic
Electronic Health Record (EHR) for Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS), for the period from July 1, 2014 through

FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Funding is included in the Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Epic provides software for inpatient and ambulatory patient care, laboratory, pharmacy, order management, billing,
advice nurse, managed care, as well as other specialties, in one integrated system. With this single integrated solution,
managing the patient’s care, whether it is in the hospital, the doctor’s office, or through the health plan, will allow all
physicians, nurses, clinicians, and patient care managers to have the same longitudinal view of the patient. Using the
Epic system will allow the easy sharing of clinical information with our major patient referral facilities (Kaiser,
Sutter, UCSF, UCD, and Stanford).
