Summary
Peter Clegg presented a five-year contract with Qualifacts for an interoperable electronic health record; year one cost $59,850 with years 2–5 averaging about $38,000. The council moved and voted to approve the contract.
Peter Clegg, director of human services, asked the council to approve a five-year contract with Qualifacts for an electronic health record (EHR) system that would allow local providers to keep their existing EHRs while sharing data through an API. Clegg said the contract would consolidate encounter data and help the county meet state reporting requirements; he described the first-year cost as $59,850 and said years 2–5 would average about $38,000 per year.
Council members expressed support for the improved data oversight and cost savings in-house. A motion to approve the contract was made and seconded, and the council voted in favor. The department will proceed to implement the system and coordinate data consolidation with local providers.
