To properly provide benefits to injured employees and control costs for Workmen's Compensation, Liability, Collision, and Group Insurance expenditures, the Reporting System will provide the ability to: Prepare timely State of Florida reports, pursuant to Florida statutory requirements, as follows: (a) Loss Report. (b) Wage Summary Report. (c) W.C.C. 13 (Progress Report). (d) W.C.C. 4 (notices of all compensation payments). The above listed reports currently require approximately six months' time of individual computation in that these reports are computed by hand and are subject to error as are any items that require duplica- tion of handling in calculation for each report. Further, these reports are required at various times; i.e., July 1st of each year, January 1st of each year, as well as each time benefits begin, change, or are sus- pended, also, yearly from date of each accident. Recovery of Monies to the Benefit of the City of Miami Recovery is minimal at this time, and historically has been so because of our inability to obtain information in a timely fashion. (1) Third Party Recovery This involves our being notified of all City vehicular accidents in order for us to put on notice all insurance companies and our City employee involved in accidents that we have a lien against any monies recovered. At this time, the expected yearly return is $20,000; however, we feelwith a data system that at the very least we could double and possibly triple this amount within twelve months. To: Joseph R. Gtassie, City Matiaget Re: Necessity for Implemeritatioh of Repotting System September 21, 1978 Page 2 (2) Special Disability Fund Recovery This requires our being able to notify the State of Florida's Department of Commerce, Special Disability Fund, that we had prior knowledge of a disability; and therefore, we are able to obtain reimbursement from the State under this Special Disability Fund. The notification to Tallahassee must be filed within 60 days of first payment of Permanent Partial Disability. Last year, the City of Miami was required to pay into the State Disability Fund over $70,000. Our total estimated recovery, however, is approximately $20,000. We feel with the proper availability of information, combined with the City's policy of continuing employment of employees with prior medical dis- abilities, we should be able to make recoveries far in excess of the amount the City is required to place into the State Disability Fund. Further, this proposed Reporting System will therefore provide us with the records necessary to substantiate a claim within a reasonable span of time, allowing us to recover an amount at least equal to our contribution to the fund. In the past, we have been unable to substantiate and file in a timely manner our claims; therefore, we have been able to recover the amount of approximately $20,000 heretofore mentioned. Recovery for Damage to City Property This involves our being notified of all damage to City property, whether it be a vehicle, a light pole, a fence, etc., in order to recover from the insurance company or the individual at fault, any costs of repairs to said City property. This would entail a notification by all Departments of occurring incidents. Prior to the Reporting System, there has been no record made of these damages; therefore, the recoveries by the City have been minimal at best. (3) MEM MMM MEM MEM 1 With the Reporting System, we would be able to follow up each case, and the City will receive the maximum amount of monies that would be realized from these damages. ) Coordination and Elimination of Duplication of Payments of mm mm mm mm RE mm mm mm ■ ■ f 10! Joseph R.

This Reporting System will provide such control. Safety Information Will Be Provided with Reference to Identi- fication of the Following: (a) Location - where all accidents and injuries occur. (b) Cause - why all accidents occur. (c) Type of injuries sustained. The above -mentioned information is vital to the development of an effective safety program which will in turn provide a more comprehensive and effective safety program. Instant Cost Analysis (a) Monthly reporting to each Department, through division by employee, of all expenditures chargeable to the Department. (b) Because it is required for each Department's budget to reflect Workmen's Compensation costs, Group Insurance costs, and Liability costs, this Reporting System is vital in enabling these costs to be properly estimated for timely budget preparation. (c) This Reporting System will eliminate problems which the Departments currently face in formulating their budget requests relative to all of the foregoing areas. Accurate Record Keeping At the present time, there are approximately 4,200 injuries per year, varying in degree and cost. Also, at the present time, there are approximately 10,000 open files, including injuries from prior years on which benefits are still being provided. "SUPPORTIVE DOCUMENTS FOLLOW, I..

Gunderson Director of Finance '7t 1 t;I� 1'1 _If'iill August 29, 1978 Reporting System for Workmen's Compensation and Liability It is requested that a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract with McDonnell Douglas Automation Company to implement a computerized Reporting System for Workmen's Compensation and Liability Systems be placed on the September 14, 1978 Commission Agenda. This request and recommendation is based on the following factors: 1. It is imperative for the City of Miami to maintain up-to-date data on injuries sustained by City employees for both our safety program and our premium calculation, since we are self - insured. 2. Instant claim and cost analysis to enable the processing of funds by the Department of Finance, Risk Management Division, would further develop the expedient processing of Workmen's Compensation and Liability Claims and give us record visi- bility that we cannot now maintain manually. A survey and extensive meetings were held with the following companies which indicated they could provide the services necessary to the City: 1. Automatic Data Processing, Inc. 2. McDonnell Douglas Automation Company. 3. Florida Administrators, Inc. The only company that met full compliance with City specifications was McDonnell Douglas Automation Company. Attached hereto is a Resolution for approval by the City Commission to authorize the implementation of a Reporting System for the Department of Finance, Risk Management Division, with McDonnell Douglas Automation Company; said contract to be for an initial term of one (1) year and con- taining an option to purchase the software for the B6800. The system will be fully compatible with our new equipment so that we will be able to trans- fer the operation to it after one year. JEG:AJS:jr Attachment (1) cc; George F.
