Software Tool for Women’s Service Line with AWHONN Staffing Standards Built Into the Tool

The University of New Mexico Hospital is renewing a sole‑source software license with Parity Healthcare Analytics for its Women’s Services department. The cloud‑based “Parity” platform provides nurse‑workforce decision‑intelligence, integrating AWHONN staffing standards without requiring EMR integration, and includes ongoing consulting and analytics services. The contract is valued at $280,000 for a three‑year term and is justified on the basis of compatibility, continuity of data, and lack of comparable alternatives. • Proprietary nurse‑workforce analytics platform (Parity) tailored to obstetric/ neonatal staffing. • Sole‑source justification based on existing integration, AWHONN standards, and cost/effort of switching. • Total contract value $280,000, covering software licensing, maintenance, and consulting services for 12 months (renewed for three years).
