NCCHC Standards
The National Commission's leadership in setting standards for health services is widely recognized. Written in separate volumes for prisons, jails and juvenile confinement facilities, the Standards provide guidance in establishing and maintaining constitutionally acceptable health services systems and cover the general areas of care and treatment, health records, administration, personnel and medical-legal issues. The Standards help facilities improve the health of inmates, staff and the communities to which inmates return; increase the efficiency of their health services delivery; strengthen their organizational effectiveness; and reduce their risk of adverse legal judgments.
