The University awarded a contract for independent transplant consultant team.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate action was needed to prevent any disruption in University services.
The University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System (UIHHSS) operates a Transplant Kidney Program that is regulated by HHS Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). UIHHSS has received provisional authority to operate the Transplant Program until February 9, 2016. This authority is based upon certain program improvements formalized in a UIHHSS/CMS Systems Improvement Agreement including a proviso that the university contract with an independent transplant consultant team (Transplant Analytics, Inc.) to work onsite with the UIHHSS Transplant Program Administrator.
Consequently, an emergency was declared so that Transplant Analytics can continue to work onsite with UIHHSS to provide technical guidance, professional insight, training, and feedback on an ongoing basis is necessary for the continual operations of the Transplant Program.
