(26) On March 21, 1985, the Board of Trustees authorized the purchase of a perpetual license for the Technicon Medical Information System ( T M I S ) for the University Hospital. The chancellor at Chicago indicated he would soon propose the purchase of an automated billing system to interface with T M I S . He now has recommended the purchase of a perpetual license for the use of Medipak Patient Billing and Accounts Receivable System, and the software and implementation assistance necessary to install the system to the hospital's specifications. Medipak is a product of Mediflex Systems Corporation of Evanston, Illinois. The hospital examined all eight automated, on-line billing systems presently marketed. The Medipak System, which best meets the hospital's requirements, will replace System 180, a fifteen-year-old system designed initially to track Federal grants. System 180, however, is no longer adequate for the present, complex billing needs. With the installation of Medipak, the hospital will be able to improve collections and respond fully to concerns expressed in recent audit reports. This is the first of several automated subsystems the hospital needs, all of which build on the data produced by T M I S . As the hospital implements its strategic business plan over the next three years, the board will be asked to review and approve additional systems. The cost of the Mediflex System is $332,500. Additional software and implementation will not exceed $167,300. The ongoing maintenance will be $42,900

1 A copy is filed with the secretary of the board for record and the appropriate officers of the board are hereby authorized and directed to execute the same in the name and on behalf of the board in substantially the form presented to this meeting, or with such changes as may be approved by the officer or officers of the board executing the same, his or their execution thereof to constitute conclusive evidence of the board's approval of all changes from the form thereof presented to this meeting; provided, however, that if any such changes constitute a substantial change in the form thereof presented to this meeting they shall first be approved by the Executive Committee of the board, to which authority for such approval is delegated by the board. # (The Supplemental Agreement No. 8 to the lease is being reviewed by cognizant officers of the U.S. Army. Final approval is anticipated on or about May 15, 1985. No final action in connection with sale and delivery of the bonds to the purchasers can be taken until the Supplemental Agreement is approved.)
