Using Technology to Solve Your Top Three Correctional Healthcare Challenges

Correctional healthcare professionals face unique challenges outside of the typical parameters of practicing medicine. That’s why NextGen collaborated with industry experts to build correctional healthcare templates and workflow that directly address the nuances of providing healthcare in prisons and jails.

NextGen EMR allows you to quickly capture and store discrete patient data through point & click options. All the data you collect is available for reporting and analysis, and you never have to enter data twice. NextGen EMR also solves the problem of “chart fragmentation” because multiple users can simultaneously access and document in one patient’s chart, even during and after transfers.

With NextGen EMR, correctional health professionals are one click from:

	Accessing Charts by using the inmate ID as the unique, searchable identifier
	Medical, Nursing, Dental, and Behavioral Health templates, including chronic care
	Intake Screening with summary results displaying on the home screen
	Sending Tasks electronically to physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, or groups of individuals to ensure accountability
	Nurse Protocols with branch logic to assist in handling issues quickly and efficiently while promoting standardization of healthcare delivery
	Sick Call Slip processing that’s documented and saved in inmate’s chart
	Release Planning allowing a patient’s health information to be sent to outside providers to ensure continuity of care after release
	Health Maintenance to proactively monitor all the recurring healthcare needs of the population
	Disease Management to enroll patients and follow existing national guidelines for treatment while promoting standardization of healthcare delivery
	Patient Education available in English and Spanish and edited for a corrections population
