Correctional Healthcare Philosophy :
Our team has a solid understanding is uniquely qualified to
program, plan and design correctional healthcare facilities to
assure that they will meet current and future health care
requirements. We possess the qualifications, skills and
experience to analyze, review and communicate both options and
solutions.
Our team will, in the course of our study:
-
Meet with
and
interview the existing health care providers and members of the
Division of Corrections’ management and work closely with other
various agencies responsible for managing relevant health care
activities.
-
Address
the current and future capacity
and housing needs for health inmates
-
Reflect safety and security
considerations of the correctional environments, specifically
local correctional agencies (jails), with their heterogeneous
inmate population, variable and short lengths of stay, high
volume admissions and discharges, and strategic entry point from
the community
-
Meet or exceed, at a
minimum, NCCHC and FMJ standards and that adhere to other
applicable standards, and
-
Reflect community values for
applicable health care services within the Division of
Corrections facilities.
Each prison
program
includes a centralized medical unit that is comprised of
examination, treatment and laboratory functions that most often
include an infirmary for those inmates not able to be housed in
general population settings. Among the increasing services in
healthcare correctional settings is the need for separate health
related services and housing. Often a facility will house these
inmates in separate units and adjacent to an infirmary to minimize
staffing costs. The health inmate has unique requirements, which
are often similar to medically housed patients:
-
Single occupancy rooms;
-
Single level housing units (no mezzanines);
-
Exam and treatment rooms and counseling rooms located within a
housing unit;
-
Nurses’ station centralized, with a dedicated custody officer’s
area;
-
Outdoor exercise area located adjacent to the housing unit;
-
A generous amount of natural light into patient rooms and day
space; and
-
An environment rich in color, texture and materials that have a
behavioral change affect on the population to reduce violence
against inmate and staff alike.
The number of health beds is determined in the programming and
planning phases of each project and vary depending on the size of
the general population housed in a correctional facility.
Sometimes health patients can occupy a separate wing of a general
population housing unit to help reduce staffing cost. In summary,
it is a best practice that each correctional facility incorporates
a separate medical and health program to further classify
incarcerated population by management type.
