Section I
General Information The Department of Health (the Department) is Florida’s state agency dedicated to protecting, promoting and
improving the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county, and community efforts.
Established by the Florida Legislature in 1996, the Department traces its roots to the creation of the Florida State
Board of Health in 1889. The Department of Health is an executive branch agency, established in section 20.43,
Florida Statutes. Led by a State Surgeon General who serves as the State Health Officer and is directly appointed by
Florida’s Governor and confirmed by Florida’s Senate, the Department also has three Deputy Secretaries who
oversee the business and programmatic operations.
The Department is comprised of a state health office (central office) in Tallahassee with statewide responsibilities,
Florida’s 67 county health departments, 22 Children’s Medical Services area offices, 12 Medical Quality Assurance
regional offices, nine Disability Determinations regional offices, and four public health laboratories. Facilities for the
67 county health departments (CHDs) are provided through partnerships with local county governments and provide
a variety of services. These 67 CHDs have a total of 255 sites throughout the state, providing a variety of services,
and ranging from small to large in location size.
The Department is accountable to the state legislature, the Executive Office of the Governor, all residents and visitors
in the state, and the federal government. The Department is responsive to priorities identified by the Governor and
the legislature in determining services, associated funding, and delivery mechanisms. Annually, the state legislature
passes a budget, approved by the Governor, and creates or amends laws that direct the Department’s actions.
The Department’s total budget for fiscal year (FY) 2012 – 2013 was $2,793,152,317. Additionally, the Department
has appropriated 16,550.25 Full Time Equivalents (FTEs).

Additional Information
Please refer to the following link for additional information on the Department: http://www.floridahealth.gov.
Introduction The Department’s Division of Emergency Preparedness & Community Support (DEPCS) - Bureau of Emergency
Medical Oversight (BEMO) has determined the strategic need for a Business Intelligence / Data Warehouse Solution
(BIDWS). In short, the business problem to be solved is one of efficiently and effectively addressing the need for
robust and enterprise-level data analysis, reporting, and decision support across the Bureau.
History
In 2010, the Health Information and Policy Analysis Section (HIPAS) – part of the DEPCS BEMO – implemented a
proof-of-concept (POC) Operational Data Store (ODS) to address data analysis, reporting, and decision support
needs of the statewide Emergency Medical Services (EMS) incident-level data collection program. From the initial
implementation, continued improvements to the ODS POC have been executed in an iterative process, which has
included identifying the required data elements and extracting them from the respective source systems.
The ODS POC is currently in its fourth iteration and it houses a repository of data from the EMS patient care reports.
Key sources of data are function-specific (e.g. EMS data, hospital data, licensing and enforcement data, etc.) and are
referred to as “operational data.” Operational data is housed in function-specific, transaction-based systems. The
ODS POC is refreshed (at scheduled, regular intervals – often nightly) with data from the operational data systems.
New data is transferred utilizing Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) processes.
In addition, data linking has been established between the EMS patient care reports and the hospital data (in-patient
and emergency department), and between the EMS agency demographic data and the licensing and enforcement
data.
Frequently, the information requested by key decision makers within the organization requires the utilization of data
from several of these operational data systems. In response, the ODS POC has provided both immediate and
ongoing benefits to the data analysis, reporting, and decision support needs related to the EMS community.
It has enabled the retrieval of data faster and more efficiently than from the stand-alone operational data
systems.
It has enabled tracking of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) and associated attributes in various subject areas
of emergency medicine to establish benchmarks for improving the quality of patient care.
It has provided the capability to pull in external data from other bureaus and agencies to assess the effectiveness
of pre-hospital patient care and outcomes through the Continuum of Care, by linking critical data sources.
Please refer to Attachment I for details on the current BEMO ODS POC.

Request for Information (RFI) Florida Department of Health Last Saved: 6/23/2015 11:52:22 AM Page 5 of 15
However, limitations do exist in the current ODS POC solution, as it relates to its continued use and ability to expand
and scale to meet the growing needs of the BEMO. A more comprehensive, long-term business strategy is needed
to ensure that this capability is grown and built-out in the most appropriate and efficient manner. This strategy will
incorporate the full complement of the BEMO’s business requirements, in support of its information and decision
support needs. As well, this will set the stage to potentially incorporate the needs of other Department entities at
some point further in the future.
Future State Vision
Building upon the success of the ODS POC, the HIPAS has identified the need to strategically transition to a more
robust BIDWS. The initial deliverable in realizing the future state vision is to provide recommendations on the best-fit
solution options and recommendations on an initial implementation design / approach, based on the business
requirements of the BEMO. The recommended best-fit solution options and implementation design / approach must
have the capability to grow and scale, and potentially be used as a model and applied to other Department needs.
This future state vision supports the overall mission of the Department – to protect, promote, and improve the health
of all people in Florida through integrated state, county, and community efforts – by providing insight (not currently
available) into the data across BEMO’s Continuum of Care – Emergency Services – in order to drive greater and
more rapid improvement in the quality of patient care within the state of Florida via actionable information and
insights.
Please refer to Attachment II for details on the BEMO’s Emergency Services Continuum of Care.
Approach
In order to ensure the greatest opportunity for success, a phased project approach is being taken. Because of the
stated limitations that do exist in the current ODS POC solution – as it relates to its continued use and ability to
expand and scale to meet the growing needs of the BEMO – a more comprehensive, long-term business strategy is
needed to ensure that this capability is grown and built-out in the most appropriate and efficient manner. Recent
advancements in both the technology and service offerings in the BIDWS space further enhance this opportunity to
drive out a sustainable, long-term business strategy.
Phase I of the approach is focused on the activities required to develop and deliver a Business Case that will provide
the strategic direction to be taken, inclusive of best-fit solution options and an initial implementation design /
approach, in order to meet the business requirements of the BEMO and achieve the stated future state vision, in
support of the overall mission, goals, and objectives of the Department.
Organization and Business Process Information
To facilitate a greater understanding of this effort, it is helpful to have a working knowledge of how the Department as
a whole is structured organizationally and where the BEMO fits in, as well as the primary business and work
processes of the BEMO and its various programs / sections.
Please refer to Attachment III for details on the Department’s organizational structure; Attachment IV for details on
the BEMO’s business and work processes; Attachment V for supplemental notes on the BEMO’s business and work
processes; and Attachment VI for details on the BEMO’s current reports and performance measures.
Section II
RFI Purpose The Department – specifically the HIPAS – is seeking information from qualified vendors who are capable of and
interested in providing both the technology solutions and the consulting, professional, and integration services
required for the implementation of a more robust BIDWS. This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to:
Educate the HIPAS on the vendors – and their associated offerings – in the BIDWS space.
Request for Information (RFI) Florida Department of Health Last Saved: 6/23/2015 11:52:22 AM Page 6 of 15
Obtain information about various BIDWS implementation options that meet business requirements.
Obtain Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimates to assist the HIPAS in understanding what realistic,
budgets / funding levels for an implementation effort might look like.
These RFI deliverables will be used to develop the Business Case that will provide the strategic direction to be taken,
inclusive of recommendations on best-fit solution options and an initial implementation design / approach. The
Business Case will be presented to key management stakeholders in order to seek approval, develop budgets, and
identify funding to move forward with the subsequent, proposed project phases for an implementation. Further
consideration will be given to this effort, based on the Business Case decision / outcome.
RFI Scope The scope for this RFI, with respect to the technology solutions / capabilities and consulting, professional, and
integration services required for an implementation, is comprised of the following core components:
Migration of the existing POC ODS data and reporting functionality to a more robust and scalable enterprise data
warehouse solution.
Existing data sources
Existing staging area
Existing ETL’s
Existing data linkages
Existing static (canned) reports
Existing self-service (ad-hoc) reporting capabilities
Integration of additional data sources – based on identification and prioritization by the client – to the enterprise
data warehouse, inclusive of all required ETL’s and data linkage methodologies.
Transactional database sources (i.e. SQL, Access, etc.)
File sources (i.e. XML, XLS, CSV, etc.)
Reference sources (i.e. industry standard code sets, etc.)
External sources (i.e. U.S. Census Data, other Florida state agency data, etc.)
Unstructured sources (i.e. PDF [static & interactive], DOC, scanned files/images, etc.)
Assessment and determination of new, line-of-business specific, data mart functionality, and implementation.
Assessment and determination of new, data-set specific cube functionality for data retrieval, analysis and
exploration, and implementation.
Implementation of new business intelligence tool sets for reporting, analytics, and consumption services based
on business requirements.

Key Considerations
When assessing the above core components of the RFI scope, there are key considerations that the vendor must
keep in mind when developing a recommended solution and implementation approach, with respect to several items.
Request for Information (RFI) Florida Department of Health Last Saved: 6/23/2015 11:52:22 AM Page 7 of 15
Resources, Support, and Hosting
There is minimal support capability available from the Department’s Office of IT, with respect to infrastructure
(server), database, and application support staff.
Current Development, Test/User Acceptance, and Production environments for the POC ODS are housed in
the State’s Data Centers, which are managed by the Florida Agency for State Technology (AST), a separate
departmental entity from the Florida Department of Health.
The HIPAS employees only three Contract personnel and one Full Time Equivalent (FTE) who currently support
the POC ODS:
One (1) Project Manager
Two (2) Business / Technical Analysts
One (1) Data Modeler / Business Intelligence Developer
Consideration must be given to types and numbers of resources that would be required from the Department and the
HIPAS for an initial implementation, as well as ongoing support / maintenance, enhancements, and growth. As well,
consideration must be given to the most appropriate hosting environment(s) for a recommended solution, in light of
resource / support constraints.
Data Sources and Data Linking
Current Data Sources
Consideration must be given to the variety and quantity of data sources that are currently being utilized to
support the BEMO’s business and work processes. A strategic approach must be taken to prioritize the
order in which each of the data sources is integrated into the proposed solution(s). Prioritization must take
into account the type, size, and complexity of the data source, as well as the access (permissions) to and
criticality (to the business) of the data source.
There are also several pockets of currently utilized data sources that reside in unstructured document
formats, such as Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF (static and interactive forms), etc. As well, there is also an
abundance of scanned document (image and other) formats. These unstructured sources contain data
components that are considered to be high-value and are often manually consulted in order to provide
answers to business questions and/or to provide input to business decisions. Consideration must be given
as to the most appropriate and efficient way to incorporate these data sources into a recommended solution,
in order to extract the greatest degree of value.
Desired Future Data Sources
Consideration must be given to the variety and quantity of data sources that are NOT currently being utilized
to support BEMO’s business and work processes, but that are desired to be utilized in the envisioned future-
state. Again, a strategic approach must be taken to prioritize the order in which each of the data sources is
integrated into the proposed solution(s). Prioritization must take into account the type, size, and complexity
of the data source, as well as the access (permissions) to and criticality (to the business) of the data source.
Data Linkages
Consideration must be given to the need to determine and develop the required data linkages between
identified, unstructured data sources such that they can be interlinked / connected and in order to generate a
greater degree of usefulness and value in the envisioned future state.
End-Users
Consideration must be given to the types of end-users that will be accessing the envisioned future-state solution. In
addition to “internal” users within the BEMO and the Department as a whole, there will also be “external” users that
are comprised of the following:
Employees of other State agencies and entities
Representatives of state-level partners and entities, such as EMS agencies, trauma centers, acute care
hospitals, etc.
Representatives of key national-level partners and entities
Request for Information (RFI) Florida Department of Health Last Saved: 6/23/2015 11:52:22 AM Page 8 of 15
Etc.
A rough estimate of current, potential internal users is ~150 – 200, and a rough estimate of current, potential external
users is ~650 – 1,000.
The requirement to ensure the appropriate level of access (only what an individual has been authorized and
approved for) for each and every end-user, in a secure manner, is absolute. The requirement to support access for
“external” end-users must be reflected in all proposed solutions.
Please refer to Attachment VIII for details on the BEMO’s current and desired future data sources, data linkage
needs, data source types / quantities, and user / size details for key data sources (to help provide a baseline for what
a future state user-base may look like).

Business and Work Process – Supplemental Notes
Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is responsible for the statewide regulation of:
· Grants
· Education, Licensure and Compliance
· EMS for Children (EMSC)
· Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics
· EMT and paramedic training programs
· 911 public safety telecommunicators (PSTs)
· Ground vehicles and aircraft
· The investigation, prosecution and discipline of legally sufficient complaints against EMTs, paramedics, licensed EMS providers, EMS training centers, and 911 PSTs
911 PST Process
· This is the form used to submit an application to be approved to take the PST 911 exam:
· http://www.floridahealth.gov/licensing-and-regulation/911-public-safety-telecommunicator-program/_documents/%20911pst-examapp2014.pdf
· The preferred submission process is for the application (and accompanying payment) to be mailed in.
· Occasionally some will e-mail the application, and then mail in the accompanying payment.
· Certain data components from these applications are used to populate the Master Database (aka “Testing Database;” see the blank record screenshot below).
· The received application is scanned to PDF and stored on the J: Drive (file share).
· The original hard-copy is then shipped to secure off-site storage and is retained per the period that is defined in statute for applications (~5-7 years).
· This is the online form that is used by approved applicants to register for a date / time / location for taking the exam.
· Online form – http://survey.doh.state.fl.us/survey/entry.jsp?id=1388703200737.
· This is homegrown, web-based survey tool solution; the form is created and published with the solution and the form data dumps into a back-end database (http://survey.doh.state.fl.us).
· Once received, the data is exported into a file (type unverified; believe to be RTF), which is then subsequently imported into the Master Database.
· A quick-view scheduling tool (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet) is developed using a sub-set of data from the Master Database to give EMS Program employees a quick view of the upcoming testing schedule (who, when, where, etc.) for each month.
· The current 911 PST testing process is manual and paper-based; Scantrons are used to capture test answers and then graded; scores are stored in the Master Database.
· There is a planned transition to a new Computer Based Testing (CBT) solution by mid/late summer 2015 (July/August).
· The new solution is hosted by Prometrics, and will piggy-back on the existing Prometrics implementations for EMT and Paramedic testing.
· Prometrics – https://www.prometric.com/en-us/Pages/home.aspx
· Current Department testing – https://www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/Florida/pages/FLDOH.aspx.
· The contract and solution are owned by the Division of Medical Quality Assurance (MQA).
· This solution will combine testing registration, scheduling, and administration processes.
· These are the forms used to submit applications for PST 911 certification:
· Initial/Original – http://www.floridahealth.gov/licensing-and-regulation/911-public-safety-telecommunicator-program/_documents/dh5066-911pstinitialcertificateapp1-9-131.pdf
