Body

 

Staff Recommends:  Approval of the Attached Resolution

 

 

Explanation:

The City's Fire Department has been authorized as a subgrantee to receive Emergency Medical Services ("EMS") County Grant Program Funds in the approximate amount of $2,500.00 from the State of Florida, Department of Health, Bureau of Emergency Medical Services ("DOH") for improvement and expansion of pre-hospital emergency medical services in Broward County.

 

As stipulated in the grant award, the City of Miramar is the lead administrative agency responsible for securing these funds to address the exchange of information between pre-hospital providers and hospitals specified in said grant.

 

These grant funds will be used to defray the cost of participating agencies purchasing a data interface developed by ESO Solutions called Health Data Exchange (HOE) and is a bi-directional data exchange program that takes the data from any pre-hospital electronic patient care reporting software, translates, and transfers the data to the hospital patient reporting software.  In turn, it also takes the hospital patient-care data and translates the data to pre-hospital software.  The bi-directional data flow allows for enhancements and improvements of the pre-hospital EMS system in many ways.

 

The Fire Chief recommends that the City Commission authorize the appropriate City Officials to accept participation in the County wide Broward County EMS/Hospital Data Exchange Agreement: 15-OMETS-814503.(06) in an approximate amount of $2,500.00.

 

The purchase of said equipment will be facilitated pursuant to the City's Purchasing Ordinance.

 

Certain accounts will need to be established in the appropriate fund to recognize the grant funding and appropriate the identified program funding for program related expenditures.
