tlus time would be extremely difficult for the tollowing reasons. hi October of 2003, Monroe County Fire Rescue
(MCFR) purchased and began implementation of EMS Pro (now RescueNet), a comprehensive EMS data
management system. This automated system efficiently integrates patient billing, medical quality assurance, state
reporting. and record keeping. ADPI has successfully been using the same program for a few years. and has been
working closely with MCFR to do the same. The process of going from an old antiquated system to this new
automated system can take up to 2 years for complete implementation. Currently, MCFR has successfully
completed phase I of the implementation process, which is purchasing and installing basic hardware and software,
and training all field personnel to input data into the new system. We are now moving 10 phase IL which is
purchasing aud installing additional software allowing for electronic reporting and transmittal of data without the
use of paper reports. Once complete, this final step will allow ADPI to work directly with our contracted
collection agency, Focus Financial, 10 electronically send delinquent accounts and obtain payments on those
accounts in a more efficient and timely manner. Ch(lllging coutractors during this implementation process would
create many challenges and would not be cost ~ective.
