Contract Amendment and Extension for Consulting Services, UIC Medical Center, Chicago

(21) The chancellor at Chicago recommends the approval of an amendment and extension to the consulting services contract with Zinn Enterprises, Ltd. (Zinn), Chicago, to provide an on-site transition management chief information officer team to the UIC Medical Center. The current contract was effective July 15, 1994, through May 14, 1995, and had an approved obligation of $249,990. Zinn will continue to work closely with the executive staff and key physicians with regard to hospital information systems' needs and decisions pertaining to the hospital information systems; provide day-to-day management direction to the hospital management information director until a chief information officer is recruited; continue working with UIC Medical Center management team in developing and executing a three-year strategic plan for hospital information systems deployment; and work with UIC Medical Center management to establish staffing plans and structure for a Hospital Management Information Systems Department. Zinn will also provide continuing services to the new chief information officer, if hired within the term of this contract, to support a smooth transition. Due to the UIC Medical Center's desire to amend and extend this contract through September 15, 1995, it is necessary to increase the obligation amount by $90,990. The new contract obligation will be $340,980. Funds are available in the Hospital Income Fund. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.
