STANDARDS FOR CORRECTIONAL HEALTH SERVICES
New Editions for Jails and Prisons!

Developed by leaders in the fields of health, law and corrections, NCCHC’s nationally recognized Standards lay the foundation for constitutionally acceptable health services systems. Use of these benchmark standards can improve health services delivery. The Standards address the following general areas: health care services and support, inmate care and treatment, special needs and services, governance and administration, personnel and training, safety, health records, health promotion and medical-legal issues. These editions feature a user-friendly format; standards on current issues such as patient safety and clinical performance enhancement; clear compliance indicators that define expected outcomes and aid in self-assessment; guidelines for facilities of various sizes; best practices recommendations; and appendices on legal obligations, quality improvement, suicide prevention and more. Glossary and index. Published by NCCHC. Softcover.

STANDARDS FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES
NCCHC has developed standards specifically for mental health services, to be accompanied by an accreditation program that will begin in late 2008. This program is designed for mental health services that operate under an authority different from health services. In cases where both services do not seek accreditation together, this program provides another option for the facility’s mental health component. The mental health standards parallel those for health services in format and substance, and likewise cover the general areas of care and treatment, clinical records, administration, personnel and legal issues. The difference is that they make more explicit what the standards require for adequate delivery of mental health services. Together, these tools can help facilities determine proper levels of care, organize systems more effectively and efficiently, and demonstrate that constitutional requirements are being met. Glossary and index. Published by NCCHC. Softcover, $69.95

STANDARDS FOR OPIOID TREATMENT PROGRAMS IN CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES
These new standards represent the requirements for corrections-based opioid treatment programs seeking accreditation from NCCHC. In developing these standards, NCCHC used federal regulations and community standards as a guide and modified them to take into account the issues unique to providing services in a correctional facility. Conforming with the Standards for Health Services, the OTP Standards are divided into the nine general areas listed above. All of the standards are linked to specific federal regulations.

REFERENCE PUBLICATIONS

Acting Out: Maladaptive Behavior in Confinement
Acting Out examines a problematic group of inmates—those who appear to sabotage their own rehabilitation by repeated displays of violence, disruptiveness or otherwise self-defeating behavior. The authors use disciplinary records and mental health exams to reconstruct the careers of chronic offenders and find common threads in behavior. The result: a fascinating analysis of the events that precipitate "acting out." The research findings inform a model intervention that holds promise for disrupting the cycle of maladaptive behaviors. By Hans Toch and Kenneth Adams. American Psychological Association (2002). Softcover, 446 pages, $29.95
