Correctional HealthCare Consultants

Welcome

The team at Correctional HealthCare Consultants has more than 35 years of management experience in correctional facilities and are experts in the National Commission on Correctional Health Care and the American Correctional Association accreditation. Bringing both the security and healthcare aspects together, we are available to assist correctional medical and security programs with their operational and accreditation needs. We have worked with statewide Departments of Correction as well as private vendors. We will develop programs based upon the facility’s needs, always considering the unique security issues of each facility. When a private healthcare vendor is used, Correctional HealthCare Consultants will audit their contract compliance and quality of care performance. Correctional HealthCare Consultants’ staff have worked under Consent Decrees and have managed programs that have ultimately led to the successful settlement of the Court Decree.

Correctional HealthCare Consultants will work on legal cases involving medical care and security issues in the correctional environment.  We will prepare an opinion regarding alleged nursing malpractice after an in-depth medical record review. Our security team is led by the only American Correctional Association Certified Jail Manager and Certified Corrections Manager in the state of Georgia. If the case progresses to trial, Correctional HealthCare Consultants’ staff will testify as an expert witness.

Correctional HealthCare Consultants have recently designed a complete Medical and Mental Health Nursing Orientation Program for a large private correctional healthcare company. We are able to complete a staff needs assessment and develop an orientation program or specific in-services addressing the identified areas of deficiency. We are able to provide mandatory and adjunct classes in security/facility operations which are given by a Peace Officers Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) certified Instructor. Our security expert is also a certified
Verbal Judo Instructor.

Correctional HealthCare Consultants are experts at team building and will mentor your staff so they are equipped to continue the successes after the consultation team completes its work.

Correctional HealthCare Consultants has recently received certification as a Continuing Education Provider through the California Board of Registered Nursing and now offers online Continuing Education classes in topics specific to the Corrections environment. The
Correctional Nurse Educator website offers accredited continuing education classes that can be accessed at times best suited to the student's schedule.

The Correctional HealthCare Consultants Team also publishes,
Nursing Behind the Wall, an online educational and support resource for healthcare staff working in Corrections. Care Guides offer the latest information regarding current health issues in Corrections, such as H1N1 and chronic care diseases. They all include patient education handouts. The latest offerrings there include Correctional Nurse products, such as mugs, T-shirts and sweatshirts.

Current projects at Correctional HealthCare Consultants include the development of a Patient Education Series geared specifically for the Correctional population and a staff education DVD series.
