The Challenge of

Correctional Health Care

Correctional facilities, such as prisons, jails and juvenile detention centers are the most complex settings in which to provide healthcare services.

Within correctional institutions, providing appropriate clinical care for inmates is complicated by security concerns, manipulative patients, and limited funding.

In addition to these inherent problems, correctional administrators today are faced with rising pharmaceutical costs, severe shortages in qualified nurses and an aging, increasingly ill, inmate population.

Whether your healthcare program is self-operated, privatized or shared with your local Health Department, CMR offers the resources you need to meet these challenges and earn full accreditation for your program.
