White Paper | Reduce Risk & Lower Costs for Correctional Health Through Virtual Specialty Care

Address the complex healthcare needs of incarcerated patients with the only HITRUST certified multi-specialty care platform to improve quality, cost, and safety outcomes.

Of the millions of primary care patients treated in correctional facilities, many live with substantial medical challenges. Incarcerated patients are often more complex to treat, presenting with higher rates of chronic disease, mental illness, and substance abuse disorders than the general population. They also may have a history of trauma, abuse, or neglect, which impacts their physical and mental health. Correctional healthcare providers face unique challenges that are not typical in traditional healthcare settings, working in a sometimes unpredictable environment, where resources and access to specialty care is limited. Further, providers balance the needs of their patients with the safety and security concerns of the correctional organization, adding more costs and layers of complexity every day.
