Health Service Board approves $632,500 contract to build All‑Payer Claims Database
Loading...
Summary
After a multi‑vendor RFP, the board voted unanimously to award a contract to Truven Health Analytics to develop and maintain an All‑Payer Claims Database (APCD) for HSS, with implementation and three‑year maintenance costs not to exceed $632,500, funded from the 205 trust budget.
The Health Service Board unanimously approved on Sept. 11 staff’s recommendation to enter a contract with Truven Health Analytics to develop, implement and maintain an All‑Payer Claims Database (APCD) for the Health Service System. The recommended contract term runs from Feb. 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018 and was presented as not to exceed $632,500.
Staff described the year‑long procurement process: a comprehensive RFP issued to 13 vendors, evaluation and negotiations that left Truven as the recommended vendor. The project will bring together de‑identified medical, pharmacy, dental and eligibility data across the city’s plans, integrate well‑being assessment data, and produce dashboards and analytics for wellness, disease management, audits and clinical performance measures on NCQA/NQF standards. Staff said all data would remain de‑identified for confidentiality and be updated quarterly.
Commissioners asked for public documentation of selection criteria, a vendor profile and identification of the procurement panel; staff agreed to provide those procurement details within the legal limits of the city’s process. Pamela Levin, CFO, confirmed the contract costs would be paid out of the HSS 205 budget line (the trust budget that supports wellness, analytics and communications) and that current 205 balances and ongoing revenue support the award.
The board moved, seconded and approved the contract; public commenters and labor representatives supported the APCD as a step toward transparency and better cost management.
