electronic information, recordings, reports, research, research findings, conclusions, abstracts,
results, software, data and any other intellectual property or deliverables created, prepared, or
received by the Contractor in performance of this Contract. Contractor acknowledges that all
Materials are the property of the State by and through the ADHS and, as such, shall remain under
the sole direction, management and control of the ADHS. The Contractor is not entitled to a patent
or copyright on these Materials and may not transfer a patent or copyright on them to any other
person or entity. To the extent any copyright in any Materials may originally vest in the Contractor,
the Contractor hereby irrevocably transfers to the ADHS, for and on behalf of the State, all
copyright ownership. The ADHS shall have full, complete and exclusive rights to reproduce,
duplicate, adapt, distribute, display, disclose, publish, release and otherwise use all Materials. The
Contractor shall not use or release these Materials without the prior written consent of the ADHS.
When this Contract is terminated, the disposition of all such Materials shall be determined by the
ADHS. Further, the Contractor agrees to give recognition to the ADHS for its support of any
program when releasing or publishing program Materials.
4.10.3. Notwithstanding the above, if the Contractor is a State agency, the following shall apply instead: It
is the intention of ADHS and Contractor that all material and intellectual property developed under
this Agreement be used and controlled in ways to produce the greatest benefit to the parties to this
Contract and the citizens of the State of Arizona. As used in this paragraph, “Material” means all
written and electronic information, recordings, reports, findings, research information, abstracts,
results, software, data, discoveries, inventions, procedures and processes of services developed by
the Contractor and any other materials created, prepared or received by the Contractor and
subcontractors in performance of this Agreement. “Material” as used herein shall not include any
pre-existing data, information, materials, discoveries, inventions or any form of intellectual property
invented, created, developed or devised by Contractor (or its employees, subcontractors or agents)
prior to the commencement of the services funded by this Agreement or that may result from
Contractor’s involvement in other service activities that are not funded by the Agreement.
4.10.4. Title and exclusive copyright to all Material shall vest in the State of Arizona, subject to any rights
reserved on behalf of the federal government. As State agencies and instrumentalities, both ADHS
and Contractor shall have full, complete, perpetual, irrevocable and non-transferable rights to
reproduce, duplicate, adapt, make derivative works, distribute, display, disclose, publish and
otherwise use any and all Material. The Contractor’s right to use Material shall include the following
rights: the right to use the Material in connection with its internal, non-profit research and
educational activities, the right to present at academic or professional meetings or symposia and
the right to publish in journals, theses, dissertations or otherwise of Contractor’s own choosing.
Contractor agrees to provide ADHS with a right of review prior to any publication or public
presentation of the Material, and ADHS shall be entitled to request the removal of its confidential
information or any other content the disclosure of which would be contrary to the best interest of the
State of Arizona. Neither party shall release confidential information to the public without the prior
expressly written permission of the other, unless required by the State public records statutes or
other law, including a court order. Each party agrees to give recognition to the other party in all
public presentations or publications of any Material, when releasing or publishing them.
4.10.5. In addition, ADHS and Contractor agree that any and all Material shall be made freely available to
the public to the extent it is in the best interest of the State. However, if either party wants to
license or assign an intellectual property interest in the material to a third-party for monetary
compensation, ADHS and Contractor agree to convene to determine the relevant issues of title,
copyright, patent and distribution of revenue. In the event of a controversy as to whether the
Material is being used for monetary compensation or in a way that interferes with the best interest
of the state or ADHS, then the Arizona Department of Administration shall make the final decision.
Notwithstanding the above, “monetary compensation’ does not include compensation paid to an
individual creator for traditional publications in academia (the copyrights to which are Employee-
Excluded Works under ABOR Intellectual Property Policy Section 6-908C.4.), an honorarium or
other reimbursement of expenses for an academic or professional presentation, or an unprofitable
distribution of Material.

service or material, the funds to be returned shall be determined by multiplying the unit of service
cost by the number of services the Contractor did not provide during the Contract term. Where the
price for a deliverable is fixed, but the deliverable has not been completed, the Contractor shall be
paid a pro rata portion of the completed deliverable. In a cost reimbursement contract, the ADHS

Accept a decrease in price offered by the Contractor;

Procurement Officer who signed this Contract. The Contract may be modified only through a Contract
Amendment, Purchase Order and/or Change Order within the scope of the Contract, unless the change is
administrative or otherwise permitted by the Special Terms and Conditions. Changes to the Contract,
including the addition of work or materials, the revision of payment terms, or the substitution of work or
materials, directed by an unauthorized State employee or made unilaterally by the Contractor are violations
of the Contract and of applicable law. Such changes, including unauthorized Contract Amendments,

entitled to any claim under this Contract based on those changes.

Order or Contract. Mere receipt does not constitute final acceptance. The risk of loss for nonconforming
materials shall remain with the Contractor regardless of receipt.
7.2. Mutual Indemnification. Each party (as “indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
other party (as “indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, costs or expenses
(including reasonable attorney’s fees) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “claims”) arising out of bodily
injury of any person (including death) or property damage, but only to the extent that such claims, which
result in vicarious/derivative liability to the indemnitee, are caused by the act, omission, negligence,
misconduct, or other fault of the indemnitor, its officers, officials, agents, employees or volunteers.
7.3. Force Majeure.
7.3.1.
Liability and Definition. Except for payment of sums due, neither party shall be liable to the other
nor deemed in default under this Contract if and to the extent that such party’s performance of this

that is beyond the control of the party affected and occurs without its fault or negligence. Without
limiting the foregoing, force majeure includes acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts of
terrorism; war; riots; strikes; mobilization; labor disputes; civil disorders; fire; flood; lockouts;
injunctions-interventions not caused by or resulting from the act or failure to act of the parties;

to act of the parties; and other similar occurrences beyond the control of the party declaring force
majeure, which such party is unable to prevent by exercising reasonable diligence.
7.3.2.
Exclusions. Force Majeure shall not include the following occurrences:
7.3.2.1. Late delivery of Materials caused by congestion at a manufacturer’s plant or elsewhere, or
an oversold condition of the market;

occurrence in accordance with this force majeure term and condition; or
7.3.2.3. Inability of either the Contractor or any subcontractor to acquire or maintain any required
insurance, bonds, licenses or permits.
7.3.3.
Notice. If either party is delayed at any time in the progress of the work by force majeure, the
delayed party shall notify the other party in writing of such delay, as soon as is practicable and no
later than the following working day of the commencement thereof, and shall specify the causes of
such delay in such notice. Such notice shall be delivered or mailed certified-return receipt and shall
make a specific reference to this article, thereby invoking its provisions. The delayed party shall
cause such delay to cease as soon as practicable and shall notify the other party in writing when it
has done so. The time of completion shall be extended by Contract Amendment for a period of
time equal to the time that the results or effects of such delay prevent the delayed party from
performing in accordance with this Contract.
7.3.4.
Default. Any delay or failure in performance by either party hereto shall not constitute default
hereunder or give rise to any claim for damages or loss of anticipated profits if, and to the extent
that, such delay or failure is caused by force majeure.

Background
Since 2009, Electronic Laboratory Reporting (ELR) has been used as a proxy mechanism for hepatitis C virus (HCV)
surveillance. Data analysis is performed in a manual-entry database where new (not previously reported) cases are
identified.
Integrating these data into MEDSIS, the statewide communicable disease system, will improve the facilitation of data
analysis and allow for improved case matching, greater automation/batching and enhanced capability for disease
investigation data collection. Our goal is to improve HCV surveillance to characterize HCV in Arizona, to aid in
program development for prevention and control, and to evaluate the effectiveness of such programs.
In our CDC 17-02 supplemental grant application feedback the CDC provided extensive feedback on our application.
One of the primary reasons funding was not provided were concerns about our data reporting and ability to track
hepatitis c testing. Integration into MEDSIS will enable case tracking and investigation where needed. It will also
enable the granting of sub recipients or MOU partners of CDC 17-02 funding to enter data into MEDSIS se we
comprehensibly capture their hepatitis C testing and linkage to care.
CDC is also encouraging jurisdictions to begin to track negative hepatitis C reporting in their HCV surveillance
systems. We think it will be much more manageable to conduct negative reporting through a system like MEDSIS
particularly given the volume of reporting expected.
These hepatitis C surveillance data system improvements will be a critical part of better understanding the hepatitis c
epidemic in Arizona as we begin Hepatitis C epidemic and see the impact our program’s response are having. This is
particularly important as we are pursuing treatment focused strategies that expand access to direct acting antivirals to
treat hepatitis C and want to track the impact of persons being cured in an improved surveillance system.
2.
Objective
In accordance with the deliverables in the combined CDC 17-02 Improving Hepatitis B and C Care Cascades; Focus

system via HL7 messaging to ADHS can be incorporated within the MEDSIS system.
2.2
To resolve approximately 6,500 HCV merges needed prior to full MEDSIS hepatitis C morbidity role
deployment.
2.3
To notify county and tribal jurisdictions that case ascertainment, reporting, investigation, and follow-up
can be conducted within MEDSIS for HCV Disease Investigation pending their respective capacity to do
so.
