Projects
San Diego County Sheriff's Department
Our team is working with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and their outside counsel in defense of the class action lawsuit, Dunsmore v. San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, related to medical, dental, and mental health services delivered by their contracted healthcare provider.
State of Michigan
Our team is developing a comprehensive profile of the state’s current correctional healthcare system. We are preparing a summary of existing healthcare and contract models used in other states. We are developing a framework for assessment of alternative approaches to inmate healthcare. We are putting together a draft request for proposal for the Michigan Department of Corrections review.
State of North Carolina
Our team is assessing the likely clinical acuity challenges confronting the system in the mid and long-term. We are working with the Department of Corrections to predict future populations of each clinical category in order to anticipate future bed capacity and staffing needs. We are assessing the internal processes used in each clinical review with a focus on the policies, procedures, and practices that impact the clinical evaluation process and making a determination if these elements are in alignment with the unique characteristics of each clinical category.
Federal Bureau of Prisons
Correctional Complex
Our team is managing the long‐term care services for the Federal Bureau of Prisons Correctional Complex. We are providing inmate patients access to long‐term care services and subspecialty providers. This allows for a fluid and clinically appropriate transition of patients from a hospital level of care to a long‐term care facility and back to the bureau.
