BACKGROUND:
In December 12, 2019, this Board approved an agreement with KaiNexus, Inc. to
provide a software-as-service (SaaS) platform that facilitates, supports, tracks, and reports on San Mateo County Health (SMCH) improvement work for the term of December 10, 2019, through December 9, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $316,800.
This platform effectively manages all problem-solving activities, such that all problems are seen and solved to root, and solutions are spread systematically.
The current agreement with KaiNexus, Inc. expires on December 9, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
Continuing the relationship with KaiNexus, Inc. allows SMCH divisions to continue to utilize the customizable technology platform to track problem identification and resolution, for ongoing support, and meet the existing goal of improving outcomes for clients with complex needs.
This amendment will increase the maximum amount by $364,680 and extend the term of the agreement by three years through December 9, 2025.
The amendment and resolution have been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney as to form.
The resolution contains the County’s standard provisions allowing amendment of the County’s fiscal obligations by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) is currently manually collecting data and reports, with 33.3% of July 2021 to October 2022 Safety Alert from Employees (SAFEs) resolved to Level 4 problem solving (i.e. solved to root). It is anticipated that by continuing to contract with KaiNexus, Inc, the percentage of SAFEs resolved to Level 4 problem solving will be 40%.
