The Steuben County Health & Human Services Committee voted to renew its contract with Netsmart, the county's electronic health record (EHR) vendor, for five years at a total cost of $681,738.83.
Lynn (speaker 4), who presented the item, told the committee the first-year cost will be $128,379.06 and the contract includes a 3% increase each year. "The total cost of that is $681,738.83," Lynn said. She described a multi-year implementation that required substantial staff time, noting staff trained in stages to adopt the cloud-based system.
Committee members confirmed the renewal was budgeted and that the county has been using the same system. The chair moved approval; the motion was seconded and the committee voted to carry the item. No amendment or alternate vendor was proposed during the discussion.
