In FY 1994, temporary nursing services exceeded $2 million. The UIH&C implemented a system of internal controls directed toward reducing the cost to less than $1 million in FY 1995. Funds are available in the Hospital Income Fund. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

Contract Amendment and Extension for Information Systems Advisory Services, University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics, Chicago

(22) The chancellor at Chicago recommends approval of an amendment and extension to the contract with Zinn Enterprises, LTD. (Zinn), a Chicago-based information systems consulting firm, for additional information systems advisory services provided to the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics (UIH&C). Zinn was initially hired under a contract at the recommendation of a Hospital Information System Task Force in October 1992 to provide assistance in evaluating mainframe-based patient care systems. This contract was amended in January 1994 to develop a plan to guide the ultimate patient care system selection for UIH&C and to assist in evaluating nonmainframe based systems. As a result of additional tasks related to the establishment of an Executive Management Systems Steering Committee, Zinn will require additional time to complete their efforts. The proposed amendment would increase the contract by $50,000, from a total cost not to exceed $275,000 to $325,000. This amendment extends the contract from December 31, 1994, to March 31, 1995, and is the final amendment and extension of this contract. Funds are available in the Hospital Income Fund. The vice president of business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

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