ISD Risk Management Division

The Internal Services Department’s Risk Management Division is responsible for safeguarding Miami-Dade County from legal and financial risks to its assets and continuity of operations.

Risk management is a process of minimizing the impact of unfortunate events and preventing such events from occurring in the first place by identifying and assessing risk, performing impact analysis and implementing controls.

In a dynamic risk environment, our purpose is to ensure the County achieves its strategic goals and serves the public as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Authorized Care Centers are to be used for the initial assessment/treatment of work-related injury. Prior authorization is not required. Initially, injured workers are to select a center/doctor from this list which gives a choice of at least 3 doctors in each area. Emergency treatment should be directed to the closest emergency facility.
