a hh Irk your independent heahhcarc choke, database of all active inmates with a bed assignment for completed Intake Screenings. Corporate staff then reviews the screening report Monday through Friday, and any missed screenings are reported to the site Health Services Administrator (HSA). The HSA follows up on all identified inmates, and these inmates receive an Intake Screening within 48 hours of site notification. ✓ Positive Mental Health Screenings: Per NCCHC standards, any inmate with a positive mental health screen must then be seen by a qualified mental health professional for a more in depth Mental Health Evaluation. Our CIA department runs a weekly report that shows all active inmates who had a positive mental health screen, but have not yet had the mental health evaluation performed. This information is sent to the site HSA so that these inmates will not be missed. The site is responsible for reviewing the list of inmates, explaining why the evaluations have not been performed yet, and providing a report of resolution back to the QA department within a few days. ✓ Daily TB Read Report: We identify any active inmate that does not have a TB read recorded in TechCare®; this alert is then automatically generated and shown on the Nurses Dashboard. This quality assurance activity helps ensure that all active inmates have a completed TB testing process or other appropriate care, such as a chest x-ray or Isoniazid treatment. 4. Initial Health Assessment An initial health assessment will be completed by a licensed MID, PA, NP or RN for each inmate immediately upon intake, ensuring completion within fourteen (14) days upon arrival at the SAJ. The initial health assessment will include, at a minimum, the following: a. Review of intake screening results and the collection of additional data to complete the medical, dental and mental health histories b. Laboratory and/or diagnostic tests to detect communicable diseases, including sexually transmitted diseases and tuberculosis (PPD or x-ray as medically indicated) and other tests as determined by the responsible physician upon consultation with and approved by the local public health authority. c. A VDRL/RPR blood test is to be drawn on the inmate, if the inmate has not had such test performed at the transferring jail with the last ten (10) months of continuous incarceration, or it is not documented on the inmate medical transfer form and/or supporting medical records received from the referring facility. d. A physical examination including comments about mental status with appropriate referral as clinically indicated. e. Oral (Dental) screening Proactive Health Assessment upon Intake A beneficial feature of NaphCare's intake screening process for the SAJ is that we perform the health assessment upfront, during intake. By performing this screening at intake, we can identify urgent medical and mental health issues upon an inmate's arrival. This not only reduces costs for emergency and hospital transportation, but it also reduces the inmate movement required to provide health assessment at the 14-day mark. Inmate Medical Services City of Santa Ana NaphCare exceeds NCCHC standards by performing the health assessment upon intake. Additionally, any inmates that have not had a Health Assessment by the lot" day will be flagged in TechCore® for immediate follow-up, ensuring compliance with the 14-day requirement. RFP No. 17-051 29
