Findings 3 findings
F1
There is currently a shortage of pharmacists employed by Sacramento County. Without action on the county's part, it is likely that the recruitment and retention problems will increase. This will prove extremely costly and is likely to compromise medical services.
F2
The DHHS and the county purchasing department did not properly review the RFP for the CMMS. They further did not monitor compliance of the selected vendor as to the RFP requirements.
F3
The vendor (PCSI) did not fulfill its contractual obligations. The outpatient system is not fully operational and the inpatient system has never worked.
Recommendations 3
-
R1The DHHS needs to restructure the salary scale for county pharmacists to make it competitive in today's market.
-
R2DHHS must be certain that awarded contracts fulfill all requirements mandated by the RFP on any purchases made by the department.
-
R3The DHHS needs to assure that the county has a functional CMMS as soon as possible. Within the provisions of the contract with PCSI, the county should seek restitution for any services paid for and not provided.
