Concern about public safety and taxpayer expense is stimulating
widespread interest in improving success rates for people released
from correctional facilities. The role of correctional health
services can be significant as good physical and mental health are
important in helping releasees reintegrate into the community and
avoid recidivist behavior. In addition, collaboration with community
partners is essential for effective discharge planning and
continuity of care.
A special educational track is being presented by
Community
Oriented Correctional Health Services, a nonprofit organization
established to build partnerships between jails and community
health care providers. Topics will include use of health information
technology, legal issues and more.
With a broad range of subjects that span the
continuum of correctional health care, the Updates 2012 lineup offers something
for everyone. Download the
