VI. Scope of Work
MOWCM prepares approximately 5000 meals to 1600 clients daily, including a cold and a hot
meal which are delivered on 140 routes. Meal types include: Regular, Kosher, Texture Modified,
No Sweets, No Pork, No Fish, No Sweets/Pork, no Sweet/Fish, No Pork/Fish, No
Sweet/Pork/Fish, Emergency Meals Kits, Korean and we intend to serve frozen meals in addition
in the near future. MOWCM also serves approximately 1650 congregate meals to 33 sites and
390 meals to 8 adult daycares and occasionally cater senior expos and other small related events.
MOWCM has a central office/kitchen site which prepares 97% of all meals served and 91% of all
home delivered meals. In addition, there are 14 other distributions sites, 5
kitchen/packing/distribution sites, 3 drop off sites and 4 smaller satellite offices. Most of the
home delivered meals (approx. 1136) are unitized but some of the home delivered meals (approx.
288) go out in bulk to our 5 smaller kitchen/packing sites to be unitized there for delivery to the
assigned routes. Kosher meals (approx. 250) are delivered to our Kosher kitchen/site from a third
party where it is then unitized for delivery.
MOWCM clients are served though multiple funding sources. In addition to serving meals we
provide the following services to clients: extensive social services, referrals, volunteer companion
services, volunteer grocery shoppers, peer to peer phone pals, etc., which all need to be tracked
and reported to various funders and agencies according to specific requirements. We also offer
special programs such as distribution of Emergency Meal Kits which also need to be tracked.
This program must be automated and be able to track, report, and bill all service delivery,
including the daily management of client assessments, home delivered meals, congregate meals,
including managing orders, daily kitchen production reports. MOWCM has roughly 30 total users
of the client services system with roughly 15-20 concurrent users and roughly 17 total users of the
volunteer services system with roughly 7 concurrent users (these numbers do not need to be added
together if one system is used for both client services and volunteer services). It should be noted
that MOWCM has a goal to serve 3000 clients a day by 2020, which might add up to 5,000
unduplicated clients per year.
MOWCM has the need to keep track of our 2000 volunteers that help run our daily operations.

Addendum E: Reporting Requirements Summary
Name : Production & Shipping Report (s)/Item 1 & 2
Frequency: Daily (note: Printed twice during the day/morning and late afternoon)
Usage : Used by the Food Services Dept to provide estimate of hot and cold meals.
Also provides Client Services with a daily list of clients receiving meal
service by site, route, and diet type. Automatic adjustments to the report
are made based on activity entered in the Client Master-Activity detail
screen(s) prior to printing the report.
Note : Currently the Production and Shipping report only reflect regular meals. CS
would like modifications to this report to also include kosher meals.
Name : Client Master Application/Item 3
Frequency: Generally printed daily as clients start service
Usage : Becomes a part of the client’s paper file and provides hard copy of the
information entered in Haven. A copy of the client application is sent to
Baltimore County Dept. of Aging whenever a client is referred for Title
III.
Name : New Client Welcome Letter/Item 4
Frequency : Generally printed daily as new clients start service
Usage : Becomes a part of client’s paper file and is sent to client or 3rd
party
payee to provide information on the client’s start date, fee/donation, and
procedure for mailing payment to Main Office.
Note : CS needs the ability to be able to program the number of letters
printed
Name : Cardex Card/Item 5
Frequency: Generally printed along with the Client Master Application when a new
client starts service.
Usage : Sent to sites and given to paid drivers and put in route books to enable
volunteers and Central paid drivers to deliver meals to clients.
Note : Because the total number of cardex cards needed vary from site-to-site, the
ability to have this as a programmable feature would be useful. Also add a
spot on the cardex card to indicate the date the card was printed.
Name : MOW New Client List/Item 6
Frequency: Printed by the IT Department on a daily basis
Usage : Mainly used by BC/BA Client Services Administrator. Provides a listing of
new clients by start date, site, location. Mainly used to check specific types
of data entry errors (e.g. fee basis, delivery pattern, location code).
Especially useful for spotting errors with respect to new clients being placed
on Title III when the subsidy is not available in a specific jurisdiction.
Name : MOW Active Client List/Item 7

03/25/2012) by site and route.
Note : Little usage as much of the information contained in the report is already
apart of the Client Master Application. However, because it includes client
phone numbers, Howard County uses the printout to call clients on days
when the site is not delivering due to inclement weather.
Name : MOW Client Case Notes/Item 8
Frequency: Printed by CS staff as needed
Usage : Allows staff to provide and share important explanatory information on
clients that have special or unique situations pertaining to their service.
Hard copy of case notes printed and placed in client’s paper file.
Name : Reassessment Due for…Report/Item 9
Frequency: Monthly
Usage : Provides CS Department with a list of client who are up for reassessment
based on a specific time frame.
Name : Cancellation/Reopen Activity Record/Item 10
Frequency: Printed by CS staff as required
Usage : Hard copy of client activity entered in Client Master-Activity detail screen.

cancellations.
Name : Client (Master) List for Emergency Meal Kit Orders/Item 11
Frequency: Printed by IT Department in the fall. May be printed several times
depending on how many additional emergency meal kits need to be
distributed to certain clients starting service (e.g. Title III).
Usage : Provides Client Services staff with a list of names of clients who are
to receive emergency meal kits. Copy of Master List given to Site
Coordinators and paid drivers to enable volunteers and drivers to
deliver meal kits to clients on their route. Also provides documentation
as to the date and number of EMKs a client received for record keeping
purposes.
Name : Emergency Meal Kit Letter/Item 12
Frequency: Printed by the IT Department in the fall. Also printed manually by CS staff
when new private pay clients start service after the initial distribution of

Addendum E: Reporting Requirements Summary Page 2 of 9
Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland, Inc.
Note : Each staff person in the department needs to have the ability to print letters
for private pay clients when they began service. Currently, I am the only
person in the department who has a computer that is set up to perform this
task..
Name : Emergency Meal Kit Summary/Item 13
Frequency: Printed by BC/BA Client Services Administrator as needed.
Usage : Provides summary of clients who have received and were “billed” for
emergency meal kits for a specific time frame. The summary is provided to
the Director of Finance when required.
Name : Review Client (Web site) Application/Item 14
Frequency: Generally printed by CS staff on a daily basis or as required.
Usage : Allows staff to review applications of “potential” clients applying for
service.
Note : Currently after a new client starts service the information from the web site
application must be manually entered into the Client Master Application in
Haven. Additionally, some of the same information must be manually entered
in the Client Tracking database which is used to check the “status” of
someone who has applied for service. From a data entry standpoint, it would
be easier for staff if the information did not have to be reduplicated and
could “automatically” appear in the appropriate place in the client data base
where the specific information is required. (This I an FYI not a requirement).
Name : Review Client Information (Web site) Requests/Item 15
Frequency: Responded to daily by CS staff as a result of interest in the service by a
potential client.
Usage : Alerts CS staff of potential clients who need additional information about the
home delivered meal program and other services we provide prior to
submitting an application for service. (this is an FYI not a requirement).
Name : Baltimore County Title Client Cancellation/Reopen Report/Item 16
Frequency: Compiled by BC/BA Client Services Administrator on a monthly basis.
Usage : Provides Baltimore County Dept of Aging with a list of clients who have
cancelled service or cancelled and reopened service within a specific time
period. One of the ways the Dept. of Aging uses the report is to determine
which clients are still “active” and which clients need to have their Title III
subsidy “suspended” or “terminated” because of being off service for a
specific length of time.
Note : Compiling this report once a month is labor intensive because the activity for
each client on the report has to be manually searched in the client activity
detail screens to determine what type of activity occurred within a 2-3 month
time period. Any of the processes involved in producing this report that can
be automated would be helpful.
Name : Meals on Wheels Start Report/Item 17
Addendum E: Reporting Requirements Summary Page 3 of 9
Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland, Inc.
Frequency: Printed by BC/BA Client Services Administrator or Director of Client
Services as needed.
Usage : Provides a summary of new clients who began service within a specific date
range. Also provides information on the number of new clients who start
service within a specific jurisdiction as well as information on the total
number of new clients who began service agency wide. Good report for
comparing new clients starting service on a month-to-month basis and to see
if the overall number of new starts is going up or down.
Name : MOW Client Activity Report/Item 18
Frequency: Printed by BC/BA Client Services Administrator or Director of Client
Services as needed.
Usage : Provides information on the various types of client activity that occur within
a specific date range based on active and inactive activity codes. Can be used
to get an idea of how many clients cancelled service based on a specific
reason (e.g. hospital, dislike food, etc) during a specific time frame. We
would like to have a report which specifically identifies only those folks who
have missed a delivery for not being home 3 or more times during a month.
Name : Client Cancellations Report/Item 19
Frequency: Printed by BC/BA Client Services Administrator or Director of Client
Services as needed
Usage : Similar in nature to item 18, but deals specifically with client cancellation
codes queried on during a specific date range.
Name : Follow-Up Report/Item 20
Frequency: Printed by CS staff as needed
Usage : Provides a list of clients with follow-up date who need to be contacted
regarding some aspect of their service.
Note : Report would be more useful if the” reason” for follow-up was indicated in
addition to the follow-up date. An automatic “tickler” located on the first
page of the Client Master screen to alert staff that follow-up in due would
also be useful.
Name : Disbursement Account Information Report/Item 21
Frequency: Printed by BC/BA Client Services Administrator and designated staff
as needed.
Usage : Eligibility enrollment dates are provided for the Client Accounts Specialist
whenever a new plan of care document is submitted by case managers for
Medicaid Waiver clients receiving home delivered meal service. Client
Accounts Specialist enters information into their tracking data base and this
alerts said individual as to when the eligibility period for a MA Waiver client
is about to expire.
Name : Bill Detail Record & Credit Detail Record/Item 22
Addendum E: Reporting Requirements Summary Page 4 of 9
Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland, Inc.
Frequency: Printed by CS staff as needed
Usage : Provides staff with an overview of month-to-month total billing amounts
and payments made by the client or credit adjustments issued to the account.
It also indicates the dollar amount that needs to be “written off” when a client
is switched from private pay status to Title III or other subsidy program.
Name: Rate Your Nutritional Health/Item23
Note: This is not a report, but simply a form that is filled out by staff to determine
whether or not a client is at moderate to high nutritional risk (see form). Since
currently there is no field in the Haven client data base to put this information
(i.e. score) staff is putting a “+” or “-“ sign in the nickname field to track this
data. Information on “high risk” clients is compiled and provided to the Area
Office on Aging for all jurisdictions when quarterly statistical reports are
submitted. Copies of the form are also given to the agency’s nutritionist to provide
follow-up for clients who score high (i.e. 6 or more) on the evaluation.
Name: Universal Intake Form/Item 24
Note: This is not a report, but a form that is filled out by staff when clients receive an in-
home assessment. Currently the information on the form is only being sent to
the Baltimore City Commission on Aging (CARE). Assuming CARE mandates
that MOW begins using the AIMS system to track benefits and services clients are
eligible for, we will need to make sure all of the required fields on the form for
which information is needed are contained in the new client data base. Once the
new MOW data base is established and the AIMS system implemented, the two
agencies have agreed to exchange client information electronically.
Name: Central Route Changes/Item 25
Note : This is not a report, but a form that is filled out by the BC/BA Kitchen
Coordinator on a daily basis. The form provides route change information for all
Central routes as well as a few volunteer drop sites. The form has categories for
“new clients/reopens”, “cancellations”, and “other changes”. Currently, the
Kitchen Coordinator completes this form and gives it to the Distribution
Department each day so that the route books can be updated. The information on
this form is based on the various types on client activity (e.g. new starts, reopens,
cancellations, route changes) that are on the Kitchen Coordinator’s calendar. The
information on the calendar is based on all client activity entered in Haven.
Client Services would like to see if the procedure for completing this form can be
automated as well as a way to electronically provide the Distribution Department
with this information each morning so that the route books can be updated.

Additional Database Reporting Needs:
1. Active Client Report: The ability to print a list of active clients on service monthly.
Current options only allows for this report to be printed for a “weekly time
frame”.

the month by name, site, route, and date of birth in chronological order.
3. Auto Detection of Sequential Activity Codes: Ability to have the computer auto
“detect/flag” duplicate activity codes to prevent back-to-back cancellations or

a reopen record. Presently staff have the ability to enter two cancellations or
reopens back-to-back.
4. Kosher Client Irregular Delivery Pattern Report: Ability to generate list of clients
who have an irregular delivery pattern but would like to receive food on days off
service in order to get “double” meals on various Jewish holidays.
5. Automated Daily Client Changes Report: Instead of using a hard copy of
cancellation and reopen slips to manually record daily changes on the
Kitchen Coordinator’s calendar, BC/BA like the ability to print a report each
morning listing all types of changes that need to be verbally given to the sites. The
sites could receive the same report and then would only be required to make
adjustments to the report due to late (i.e. day of)

Addendum F: Data Conversion and Migration Requirements Page 1 of 2
Addendum F: Data Conversion and Migration Requirements
Volunteer Services Database and Client Services Database
Our database has data stored in it as old as the early 1990’s. It is the decision of the
management team that all of our data is converted and migrated to the new system. We
are contractually obligated to keep at least 10 years of data in the new system so an
estimate for half the data is requested as well. For purposes of the proposer to create an
accurate price/timeline estimate I have catalogued the number of tables, columns, and
rows that need to be converted and migrated to the new database.
 Must be able to extract all data that currently resides in our Unix Informix
Database or use table data exported to excel and import it into the new system.
 Must ensure a clean and stable data migration as well as a migration plan with
timeline.
 Must provide a database schema at least a two weeks prior to the conversion and
specify all the look-up tables that need to be created (modifications to our current
data going forward will need to be discussed in the implementation stage) in order
for the system to function, enabling appropriately clean/parse of existing data and
develop standardization of look-up tables entries to facilitate reporting and
mapping of implementation.
 Must provide accurate estimate of the time it will take and the price of converting
all of our data as well as 10 years of data (approx half the data).

More than 2,000 active volunteers help make this mission possible with more than 250-300 volunteers used on a daily basis. Last fiscal year, more than 743,000 nutritious meals were delivered to 2,964 clients in Baltimore City as well as Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Montgomery, & PG counties. III. Proposal Guidelines  This is an open and competitive process.  MOWCM reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, as well as to accept the proposal which will be to the best advantage as determined at the sole discretion of MOWCM.  All questions, clarifications, and requests for additional information should be made to Melissa Kaiza, IT Manager by Friday May 31st .  MOWCM reserves the right to request a best and final offer based on the need for further clarification or revisions to the submitted proposals.

    Meals on Wheelsof Central Maryland, Inc. V. Contract Terms  MOWCM will negotiate contract terms upon selection. All proposals and contracts are subject to review by MOWCM legal counsel, and a project will be awarded upon signing of a contract, which outlines the terms, scope, budget, and other necessary items.  MOWCM has made their best effort to disclose all the necessary information for the proposer to present a solid proposal that will be incorporated into the awarded contract if an award results from the proposal.  MOWCM reserves the right to add or change needs/requirements set forth in the RFP and the proposal should address how such changes will be handled in regards to the timeline and price quotes. VI. Scope of Work MOWCM prepares approximately 5000 meals to 1600 clients daily, including a cold and a hot meal which are delivered on 140 routes. Meal types include: Regular, Kosher, Texture Modified, No Sweets, No Pork, No Fish, No Sweets/Pork, no Sweet/Fish, No Pork/Fish, No Sweet/Pork/Fish, Emergency Meals Kits, Korean and we intend to serve frozen meals in addition in the near future. MOWCM also serves approximately 1650 congregate meals to 33 sites and 390 meals to 8 adult daycares and occasionally cater senior expos and other small related events. MOWCM has a central office/kitchen site which prepares 97% of all meals served and 91% of all home delivered meals. In addition, there are 14 other distributions sites, 5 kitchen/packing/distribution sites, 3 drop off sites and 4 smaller satellite offices. Most of the home delivered meals (approx. 1136) are unitized but some of the home delivered meals (approx. 288) go out in bulk to our 5 smaller kitchen/packing sites to be unitized there for delivery to the assigned routes. Kosher meals (approx. 250) are delivered to our Kosher kitchen/site from a third party where it is then unitized for delivery. MOWCM clients are served though multiple funding sources. In addition to serving meals we provide the following services to clients: extensive social services, referrals, volunteer companion services, volunteer grocery shoppers, peer to peer phone pals, etc., which all need to be tracked and reported to various funders and agencies according to specific requirements. We also offer special programs such as distribution of Emergency Meal Kits which also need to be tracked. This program must be automated and be able to track, report, and bill all service delivery, including the daily management of client assessments, home delivered meals, congregate meals, including managing orders, daily kitchen production reports. MOWCM has roughly 30 total users of the client services system with roughly 15-20 concurrent users and roughly 17 total users of the volunteer services system with roughly 7 concurrent users (these numbers do not need to be added together if one system is used for both client services and volunteer services). It should be noted that MOWCM has a goal to serve 3000 clients a day by 2020, which might add up to 5,000 unduplicated clients per year. MOWCM has the need to keep track of our 2000 volunteers that help run our daily operations. CS & VS Database RFP Page 2 of 5

If the number of users or number of clients/volunteers affects the pricing of the system then a key should be given for MOWCM to price out projected growth of users/clients/volunteers. Section 5.

    Meals on Wheelsof Central Maryland, Inc. Addendum E: Reporting Requirements Summary Name : Production & Shipping Report (s)/Item 1 & 2 Frequency: Daily (note: Printed twice during the day/morning and late afternoon) Usage : Used by the Food Services Dept to provide estimate of hot and cold meals. Also provides Client Services with a daily list of clients receiving meal service by site, route, and diet type. Automatic adjustments to the report are made based on activity entered in the Client Master-Activity detail screen(s) prior to printing the report. Note : Currently the Production and Shipping report only reflect regular meals. CS would like modifications to this report to also include kosher meals. Name : Client Master Application/Item 3 Frequency: Generally printed daily as clients start service Usage : Becomes a part of the client’s paper file and provides hard copy of the information entered in Haven. A copy of the client application is sent to Baltimore County Dept. of Aging whenever a client is referred for Title III. Name : New Client Welcome Letter/Item 4 Frequency : Generally printed daily as new clients start service Usage : Becomes a part of client’s paper file and is sent to client or 3rd party payee to provide information on the client’s start date, fee/donation, and procedure for mailing payment to Main Office. Note : CS needs the ability to be able to program the number of letters printed Name : Cardex Card/Item 5 Frequency: Generally printed along with the Client Master Application when a new client starts service. Usage : Sent to sites and given to paid drivers and put in route books to enable volunteers and Central paid drivers to deliver meals to clients. Note : Because the total number of cardex cards needed vary from site-to-site, the ability to have this as a programmable feature would be useful. Also add a spot on the cardex card to indicate the date the card was printed. Name : MOW New Client List/Item 6 Frequency: Printed by the IT Department on a daily basis Usage : Mainly used by BC/BA Client Services Administrator. Provides a listing of new clients by start date, site, location. Mainly used to check specific types of data entry errors (e.g. fee basis, delivery pattern, location code). Especially useful for spotting errors with respect to new clients being placed on Title III when the subsidy is not available in a specific jurisdiction. Name : MOW Active Client List/Item 7 Addendum E: Reporting Requirements Summary Page 1 of 9
  • 33.
    Meals on Wheelsof Central Maryland, Inc. Frequency: Printed by the IT Department on a weekly basis Usage : List of all active clients on service for a specific week (e.g. week of 03/25/2012) by site and route. Note : Little usage as much of the information contained in the report is already apart of the Client Master Application. However, because it includes client phone numbers, Howard County uses the printout to call clients on days when the site is not delivering due to inclement weather. Name : MOW Client Case Notes/Item 8 Frequency: Printed by CS staff as needed Usage : Allows staff to provide and share important explanatory information on clients that have special or unique situations pertaining to their service. Hard copy of case notes printed and placed in client’s paper file. Name : Reassessment Due for…Report/Item 9 Frequency: Monthly Usage : Provides CS Department with a list of client who are up for reassessment based on a specific time frame. Name : Cancellation/Reopen Activity Record/Item 10 Frequency: Printed by CS staff as required Usage : Hard copy of client activity entered in Client Master-Activity detail screen. Given to BC/BA Kitchen Coordinator for documentation of client activity entered in Haven by staff. Information also recorded on Kitchen Coordinator’s “calendar” to provide Site Coordinators and paid drivers with their daily client activity changes. Also used to adjust a,m. client counts on Production and Shipping Report due to same day (i.e. morning of) cancellations. Name : Client (Master) List for Emergency Meal Kit Orders/Item 11 Frequency: Printed by IT Department in the fall. May be printed several times depending on how many additional emergency meal kits need to be distributed to certain clients starting service (e.g. Title III). Usage : Provides Client Services staff with a list of names of clients who are to receive emergency meal kits. Copy of Master List given to Site Coordinators and paid drivers to enable volunteers and drivers to deliver meal kits to clients on their route. Also provides documentation as to the date and number of EMKs a client received for record keeping purposes. Name : Emergency Meal Kit Letter/Item 12 Frequency: Printed by the IT Department in the fall. Also printed manually by CS staff when new private pay clients start service after the initial distribution of letters to enable new clients to continue “ordering” meal kits. Usage : Combination letter and order form provides notification to client or 3rd party payee and enables same to order kits. Addendum E: Reporting Requirements Summary Page 2 of 9

    Meals on Wheelsof Central Maryland, Inc. Note : Each staff person in the department needs to have the ability to print letters for private pay clients when they began service. Currently, I am the only person in the department who has a computer that is set up to perform this task.. Name : Emergency Meal Kit Summary/Item 13 Frequency: Printed by BC/BA Client Services Administrator as needed. Usage : Provides summary of clients who have received and were “billed” for emergency meal kits for a specific time frame. The summary is provided to the Director of Finance when required. Name : Review Client (Web site) Application/Item 14 Frequency: Generally printed by CS staff on a daily basis or as required. Usage : Allows staff to review applications of “potential” clients applying for service. Note : Currently after a new client starts service the information from the web site application must be manually entered into the Client Master Application in Haven. Additionally, some of the same information must be manually entered in the Client Tracking database which is used to check the “status” of someone who has applied for service. From a data entry standpoint, it would be easier for staff if the information did not have to be reduplicated and could “automatically” appear in the appropriate place in the client data base where the specific information is required. (This I an FYI not a requirement). Name : Review Client Information (Web site) Requests/Item 15 Frequency: Responded to daily by CS staff as a result of interest in the service by a potential client. Usage : Alerts CS staff of potential clients who need additional information about the home delivered meal program and other services we provide prior to submitting an application for service. (this is an FYI not a requirement). Name : Baltimore County Title Client Cancellation/Reopen Report/Item 16 Frequency: Compiled by BC/BA Client Services Administrator on a monthly basis. Usage : Provides Baltimore County Dept of Aging with a list of clients who have cancelled service or cancelled and reopened service within a specific time period. One of the ways the Dept. of Aging uses the report is to determine which clients are still “active” and which clients need to have their Title III subsidy “suspended” or “terminated” because of being off service for a specific length of time. Note : Compiling this report once a month is labor intensive because the activity for each client on the report has to be manually searched in the client activity detail screens to determine what type of activity occurred within a 2-3 month time period. Any of the processes involved in producing this report that can be automated would be helpful. Name : Meals on Wheels Start Report/Item 17 Addendum E: Reporting Requirements Summary Page 3 of 9
  • 35.
    Meals on Wheelsof Central Maryland, Inc. Frequency: Printed by BC/BA Client Services Administrator or Director of Client Services as needed. Usage : Provides a summary of new clients who began service within a specific date range. Also provides information on the number of new clients who start service within a specific jurisdiction as well as information on the total number of new clients who began service agency wide. Good report for comparing new clients starting service on a month-to-month basis and to see if the overall number of new starts is going up or down. Name : MOW Client Activity Report/Item 18 Frequency: Printed by BC/BA Client Services Administrator or Director of Client Services as needed. Usage : Provides information on the various types of client activity that occur within a specific date range based on active and inactive activity codes. Can be used to get an idea of how many clients cancelled service based on a specific reason (e.g. hospital, dislike food, etc) during a specific time frame. We would like to have a report which specifically identifies only those folks who have missed a delivery for not being home 3 or more times during a month. Name : Client Cancellations Report/Item 19 Frequency: Printed by BC/BA Client Services Administrator or Director of Client Services as needed Usage : Similar in nature to item 18, but deals specifically with client cancellation codes queried on during a specific date range. Name : Follow-Up Report/Item 20 Frequency: Printed by CS staff as needed Usage : Provides a list of clients with follow-up date who need to be contacted regarding some aspect of their service. Note : Report would be more useful if the” reason” for follow-up was indicated in addition to the follow-up date. An automatic “tickler” located on the first page of the Client Master screen to alert staff that follow-up in due would also be useful. Name : Disbursement Account Information Report/Item 21 Frequency: Printed by BC/BA Client Services Administrator and designated staff as needed. Usage : Eligibility enrollment dates are provided for the Client Accounts Specialist whenever a new plan of care document is submitted by case managers for Medicaid Waiver clients receiving home delivered meal service. Client Accounts Specialist enters information into their tracking data base and this alerts said individual as to when the eligibility period for a MA Waiver client is about to expire. Name : Bill Detail Record & Credit Detail Record/Item 22 Addendum E: Reporting Requirements Summary Page 4 of 9
  • 36.
    Meals on Wheelsof Central Maryland, Inc. Frequency: Printed by CS staff as needed Usage : Provides staff with an overview of month-to-month total billing amounts and payments made by the client or credit adjustments issued to the account. It also indicates the dollar amount that needs to be “written off” when a client is switched from private pay status to Title III or other subsidy program. Name: Rate Your Nutritional Health/Item23 Note: This is not a report, but simply a form that is filled out by staff to determine whether or not a client is at moderate to high nutritional risk (see form). Since currently there is no field in the Haven client data base to put this information (i.e. score) staff is putting a “+” or “-“ sign in the nickname field to track this data. Information on “high risk” clients is compiled and provided to the Area Office on Aging for all jurisdictions when quarterly statistical reports are submitted. Copies of the form are also given to the agency’s nutritionist to provide follow-up for clients who score high (i.e. 6 or more) on the evaluation. Name: Universal Intake Form/Item 24 Note: This is not a report, but a form that is filled out by staff when clients receive an in- home assessment. Currently the information on the form is only being sent to the Baltimore City Commission on Aging (CARE). Assuming CARE mandates that MOW begins using the AIMS system to track benefits and services clients are eligible for, we will need to make sure all of the required fields on the form for which information is needed are contained in the new client data base. Once the new MOW data base is established and the AIMS system implemented, the two agencies have agreed to exchange client information electronically. Name: Central Route Changes/Item 25 Note : This is not a report, but a form that is filled out by the BC/BA Kitchen Coordinator on a daily basis. The form provides route change information for all Central routes as well as a few volunteer drop sites. The form has categories for “new clients/reopens”, “cancellations”, and “other changes”. Currently, the Kitchen Coordinator completes this form and gives it to the Distribution Department each day so that the route books can be updated. The information on this form is based on the various types on client activity (e.g. new starts, reopens, cancellations, route changes) that are on the Kitchen Coordinator’s calendar. The information on the calendar is based on all client activity entered in Haven. Client Services would like to see if the procedure for completing this form can be automated as well as a way to electronically provide the Distribution Department with this information each morning so that the route books can be updated. Name : Kosher & Regular Statistical Report: NSIP/Item 26 & 27 Frequency: Monthly Usage : Used by Finance Department for NSIP billing to counties.

Addendum F: Data Conversion and Migration Requirements Page 1 of 2 Addendum F: Data Conversion and Migration Requirements Volunteer Services Database and Client Services Database Our database has data stored in it as old as the early 1990’s. It is the decision of the management team that all of our data is converted and migrated to the new system. We are contractually obligated to keep at least 10 years of data in the new system so an estimate for half the data is requested as well. For purposes of the proposer to create an accurate price/timeline estimate I have catalogued the number of tables, columns, and rows that need to be converted and migrated to the new database.  Must be able to extract all data that currently resides in our Unix Informix Database or use table data exported to excel and import it into the new system.  Must ensure a clean and stable data migration as well as a migration plan with timeline.  Must provide a database schema at least a two weeks prior to the conversion and specify all the look-up tables that need to be created (modifications to our current data going forward will need to be discussed in the implementation stage) in order for the system to function, enabling appropriately clean/parse of existing data and develop standardization of look-up tables entries to facilitate reporting and mapping of implementation.  Must provide accurate estimate of the time it will take and the price of converting all of our data as well as 10 years of data (approx half the data).
