roe, independent heallhm. c .k, NaphCare's Intake Screening is NCCHC compliant and has been written to be proactive and to prioritize care based on need. Napheare will perform the initial Intake Screening within two hours of an inmate's admittance, using an RN available 24/7 to detect urgent medical needs early. We assess the most urgent issues first and then, in a systematic way, assess the other important areas that will help determine both the inmate's need for services and the urgency of that need. The following list describes each area of assessment: • Urgent Assessments — Covers vital signs, acute health concerns, physical appearance and behavior, mental instability, substance intoxication or withdrawal, and suicidal thoughts. • General Medical Assessments — Reviews signs of illness or infection; current, past, and chronic health conditions; review of current medical treatments, and impairments in mobility. • Mental Health Assessments — Reviews current or past mental health treatment including medications and diagnosis; past psychiatric hospitalizations and suicide attempts; PREA assessment. • Female Assessments — Covers pregnancy issues, any recent deliveries, abortions, miscarriages. • Substance Use Assessments— Reviews use of illegal drugs, abuse of prescription meds, and alcohol use; if indicated by responses, an assessment tool to determine the need for detox is triggered. • Other Assessments— Reviews dental issues, insurance coverage, special medical requirements (adaptive devices, diet). • Disposition/Treatment Plan=Allows the interviewerto refer to any indicated services based on the above information in either urgent or routine time frame. Releases are obtained to access outside records; the inmate is educated on how to access medical and mental health care if needed in the future; and housing recommendations are made. Any inmate whose responses indicate a need for further medical or mental health intervention will have their record flagged electronically to indicate this. There are built-in prompts within TechCore® to assist the interviewer in taking appropriate action based on responses — such as placing an inmate on suicide precautions; urgently contacting medical, mental health, or security personnel; and any special housing recommendations. All Receiving Screens are included in the electronic health record for providers' review. Inmate Medical Services RFP No. 17-051 City of Santa Ana 25
