Discussion and possible action to authorize the addendum to the Orion Healthcare Technology, Inc. agreement for an Electronic Healthcare Records System (EHR) in the total amount of Three Thousand One Hundred and Thirty-Two with 00/100ths ($3,132.00) Dollars, to be used by the 406th Judicial District Court Veterans Treatment Program; and any other matters incident thereto. [Fund #2872 (Grant Funds)]
Issue: The Veterans Treatment Program Grants require the use of an electronic Healthcare Records System (EHR) as a type of infrastructure development necessary to support the direct service expansion. Addendum is necessary to ensure continued access and confidentiality of records.
Solution: Orion Healthcare Technology is a full record system which includes screening and assessments tools, treatment plans, progress noting and complete managed care system for co-occurring and substance abuse disorders.
Result: Contracting the EHR system will keep the program in compliance with grant requirements. Utilizing this tool will also create a seamless referral process to other behavioral and/or healthcare agencies.
