SYSTEM AVAILABILITY SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

1. System Availability Service Level Agreement (“SLA”):

1.1 Plexilife warrants at least 99.95% System Availability during each calendar month excluding Scheduled Maintenance Window and Emergency Maintenance.

 

1.2 Definitions. Except as otherwise modified or defined herein, all capitalized terms in this SLA have the same meanings as set forth in the Cloud Services Agreement executed by the parties (collectively, “Agreement”). For the purposes of this SLA, the following definitions will apply:

1.2.1 “Emergency Maintenance” means downtime of the Production Service outside of Scheduled Maintenance Window hours that is required to complete the application of urgent patches or fixes, or undertake other urgent maintenance activities. If Emergency Maintenance is required Plexilife will promptly contact Client and provide the expected start time and the expected duration of the Emergency Maintenance, and if Plexilife expects the Production Service to be completely unavailable during the Emergency Maintenance.

1.2.2 “Scheduled Maintenance Window” means the window during which scheduled maintenance of the Production Service may be performed. The Scheduled Maintenance Window between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. local time for the location(s) in which the Plexilife Engine connections are deployed. In the event Plexilife expects the Scheduled Maintenance Window activity to result in the Production Service being unavailable to Client, Plexilife will provide Client with a minimum of four (4) business days advance notification.

1.2.3 “System Availability” means the percentage of total time during which the Production Service is available to Client, excluding Scheduled Downtime and Emergency Maintenance.

 

1.3 Remedy. If the System Availability is less than 99.95%, and if Client has fulfilled all of its obligations under the Agreement and this SLA, Plexilife will provide Client with a Service Credit for the month in which the failure to meet this SLA has occurred. The Service Credit will be calculated in accordance with the table below.

If Client submits one or more validated SLA claims under this SLA in each of three (3) consecutive calendar months or if Client submits three or more validated SLA claims under this SLA in any period of thirty (30) consecutive days, Client may terminate the Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice.

2. General Terms Applicable to SLA:

Supported EHR APIs

Plexilife provides a RESTful API that allows you to interact with its core functionalities. This API can be extended and customized to integrate with various EHR systems and external services. You can use this API to create, retrieve, update, and delete patient records, manage clinical data, and perform other EMR-related tasks.

Plexilife’s clinic automation solutions support a wide range of EHR APIs, including:

  • Data-level APIs: These APIs allow developers to access and manipulate the raw data in the Plexilife database.
  • Higher-level APIs: These APIs provide a more abstract view of the data and make it easier to develop EMR functionality.
  • REST APIs: These APIs allow developers to interact with Plexilife using HTTP requests.

Some specific examples of EHR APIs that are supported by Plexilife’s clinic automation solutions include:

  • Patient management APIs: These APIs allow developers to create, read, update, and delete patient records.
  • Observation APIs: These APIs allow developers to create, read, update, and delete observation records, such as vital signs, lab results, and diagnoses.
