Meeting Date: June 18.2003

County Administrator
Bulk Item: Yes X
No
Department: Fire Rescue
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to issue a purchase order to Insight Corporation in the
amount of $50,784.00 for the purchase of ten (10) HH3 Color Pen Base Unit Computers and necessary
accessories through State Contract #250-000-03-1 effective 08/01/02 through 07/31/05.
ITEM BACKGROUND: When the ambulance billing function was contracted-out in September of
2000, the ability of Fire Rescue to capture data in an automated fashion was lost, as was the ability to
create custom reports for trend analysis and for quality improvement efforts. Purchase of this system
will once again enable the Department to manage its own data in an automated fashion for its own
purposes, in addition to an enormous savings in staff-hours gained through error detection at the entry
point of the data. In addition, the ambulance billing function will be streamlined by electronic transfer
of billing information to the billing contractor in lieu of manual submission of written patient care
reports.
PREVIOUS REVELANT BOCC ACTION: On November 20,2001 a Resolution was approved
authorizing the Mayor to execute an EMS Grant Application and related Request for Grant
Distribution to the State of Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Emergency Medical Services. On
February 13, 2002 the Board approved various resolutions for the transfer of funds and resolutions for
