BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[February 11

I recommend approval and will notify the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

On motion of Mr. Grabowski, this recommendation was approved. By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 9 through 18 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)

Contract for Temporary Computer Programming Services, University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics, Chicago

(9) The chancellor at Chicago recommends contracting with HBO & Company (HBO), located in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, to provide computer programming services to maintain the existing billing and patient management system at the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics (UIH&C). The staff in the Management Information Systems (MIS) department at UIH&C is involved in the implementation of a billing system upgrade and patient appointment/ scheduling module of the patient management system. Completion of the second phase of this upgraded system is expected by September 1, 1994. It is necessary, however, to maintain and to operate the current billing and patient management systems. Since the MIS staff are being trained with the upgraded system, temporary programming services are required for the current systems. The vendor for both the current billing and patient management systems was HBO which is, therefore, most knowledgeable in filling these professional services needs. Under the contract, HBO will provide 261 days of programmer /analyst services during normal business hours as needed for operating and maintaining the systems. The proposed contract would be for the period of February 14, 1994, through September 13, 1994. The total cost of the contract is not to exceed $210,000. Funds are available in the Hospital Income Fund. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Lamont, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Ms. Huff, Mr. Riley; no, none.)

Continuation of Contracts for Educational Services with the Carle Foundation and the Covenant Medical Center, Urbana, Illinois, College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign

(10) The chancellor at Chicago has recommended that the University continue to contract for educational services on behalf of the College of Medicine for Fiscal Year 1994. These services provide assistance in the conduct of the medical education programs, specifically tutorial and clerkship instruction, of the College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign. It is proposed that contracts be executed between (1) the University and The Carle Foundation of Urbana in the estimated amount of $144,100; and, (2) the University and the Covenant Medical Center, also of Urbana, in the estimated amount of $40,000, retroactive to July 1, 1993, effective through June 30, 1994. It is further recommended that the chancellor, with the concurrence of the
