Subject: Patient Care Tracking and Reporting System
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate a
modification to the agreement in the amount of $2,500 with Proper LLC for the EMS,
patient care tracking and reporting system called FireMed Pro for a new total amount
not to exceed $145,407.
Executive Summary
At present, the Fire Department is using the FireMed Pro system for EMS, patient care
tracking and reporting in all fire stations. After the system was implemented, staff
discovered the need for one additional FireMed Pro workstation at Fire Station 1. Funds
for this modification are available in the adopted budget.
Discussion
On September 25, 2007, City Council authorized an expenditure. of funds for the
FireMed Pro EMS system in an amount not to exceed $142,907. Six months after the
system was implemented, staff determined that the installation of one FireMed Pro
workstation at Fire Station 1 was insufficient for the large number of users. The system
is used by Fire Department staff for creating EMS reports. As a result, staff is
recommending an additional FireMed Pro workstation be purchased and installed at
Fire Station 1.
