Report Title: Authorize Payment to Virtusa Corporation
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay the Virtusa Corporation an amount not to exceed $45,617 for a compliance reporting software subscription for the period from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action will result in an expenditure of up to $45,617 and will be funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.
BACKGROUND:
Virtusa Corporation’s CareDiscovery Quality Measures (CDQM) software is used by Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers for compliance reporting to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The data submitted through the platform meets the requirements established by CMS’ Inpatient and Outpatient Hospital Quality Reporting programs for clinical quality measures and accreditation purposes.
On February 27, 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved agenda item C.107 to pay the Virtusa Corporation up to $45,617 for compliance reporting software subscription for the period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024.
Contra Costa Health Information Technology began working with a new vendor in early 2024 to provide the required software however, the agreement is not yet complete. CCRMC and Health Centers require access to the CDQM software to ensure compliance reporting requirements are met while the agreement with the new vendor is established.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, CCRMC will not have access to the software needed to submit data for compliance reporting to CMS.
