What are the challenges of providing health care to a female offender population that may not exist in a male prison?

Correctional Health Care Assignment You applied and were accepted in an internship program of a state-level, Female Correctional Health Care Operation in the South Eastern United States and your primary responsibility is to work on the assigned projects related to the provision of inmate health care. Associated materials:  ***Correctional Health Care Delivery: Unimpeded Access to Care Section 2 and 4 are recommended for the main reference in working on this assignment.  The Health and Health Care of US Prisoners: Results of a Nationwide Survey Public Health Behind Bars Sample Tool Control Policy Inmate Sick Call Procedures-Corrections For the incarcerated population in the United States, health care is a constitutionally guaranteed right under the provisions of the eight amendments which is the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment (see Estelle v. Gamble). This particular prison can hold in excess of 1,728 offenders and routinely houses between 1,600 and 1,700 women on any given day. This institution incarcerates all custody classes to include minimum security, medium security, close custody, death row, and pretrial detainees.  The health care operation provides the highest level of care for female offenders in the state. The health care facility is a 101 thousand square foot, 150 bed, three-story building that cost the taxpayers $50 million dollars to construct and is a hybrid of an ambulatory care center, long-term care center, and behavioral care center. The health care facility also houses an assisted living dorm. The patient demographic includes women who have multiple co-morbidities including substance abuse, seriously persistent mental illnesses (SPMI), diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, morbid obesity, HIV / AIDs, hepatitis, etc. On any given day there will also be 30 to 60 offenders who are pregnant, with 98% of those offenders having a history of substance abuse; all pregnant offenders are considered high-risk. The dental health of this patient population is exceptionally horrendous because of excessive drug abuse coupled with a sugary diet and poor oral hygiene practices. It is not uncommon for a 23-year-old to need all of her teeth extracted. There are approximately 300 FTEs to include correctional staff that operate the facility and provide care to the offender population. The healthcare facility is comprised of the following directorates: (a) Medical, (b) Nursing, (c) Behavioral Health, (d) Pharmacy, (e) Dental, (f) Medical Records, (g) Health Service Support, and (h) Operations and Security. Although the health care facility has a vast amount of capability, there limitations: (a) This facility does not have advanced cardiac life support capability (ACLS), (b) no surgical capability, (c) no ability to conduct telemetry, (d) no oral surgery beyond simple extractions, (e) no obstetrical capability beyond out-patient clinics, (f) MRI, (g) level 2 ultrasound, and the list goes on. Those inmates who have medical needs that cannot be addressed by the health services staff at the correctional facility will need appointments with external health care providers who have a business relationship with the prisons in this area. On any given month, there will be approximately 300 offenders who will go to outside medical appointments, and making certain that these appointments take place is where the challenge lies. Similar to many health care operations, the prison Utilization Review / Case Management Department facilitates all external appointments and form the lynchpin between the correctional facility health care providers who refer offenders for specialty appointments, and the outside organization providing that appointment.   Your assignment: You are the Case Coordinator. You have 300 patients that need to be scheduled for outside specialty appointments every month. You are tasked by the Administrator to develop a strategic plan organizing the out-of-the-facility appointments without impairing internal services. ***Note: additional personal or financial resources are not available fortis case strategic plan. However, the question of the additional personnel or resources can be discussed in an Addendum. Specific justification must be presented and supported by evidence.  As the first step, develop a Memorandum addressing: Provide an overview of Estelle v. Gamble and how that 1976 Supreme Court ruling pertains to the provision of inmate health care. Examine the challenges of providing health care in a correctional environment. What are the challenges of providing health care to a female offender population that may not exist in a male prison? What framework would you apply to strategic planning? Why? (Strategic planning frameworks)  Make sure to cite in APA format when appropriate. Support your statements with credible evidence.

briefly explain the five commonly accepted psychological phases of disaster responses.

For this assignment, briefly explain the five commonly accepted psychological phases of disaster responses. As a reminder, these include (1) the pre-disaster phase, (2) the hero phase, (3) the honeymoon phase, (4) the disillusionment phase, and (5) the reconstruction phase. After providing a review of the phases noted above, examine individual and community responses to a disaster event of your choice, provide a summary of the psychological phases of disaster response displayed in the example. Explain, with detail, how the selected phase(s) is appropriate to describe the observed behavior(s) from the example. Close your work with a discussion of the role of cultural competence during any of the phases of psychological disaster response and how such awareness might affect the actions of behavioral health professionals as psychological first aid (PFA) is implemented. Work should be submitted in a Word document (doc. or docx.) or other compatible word processing document (.rtf), and be 5 to 6 pages in length, excluding the required title and reference page. Scholarly sources should be cited both in-text and on the reference page of the submission.

Explain two potential consequences of customizing competency models to fit your organization.

Competency models identify the skills and qualities a person needs to perform effectively on a job. Many companies use them to align a job analysis with their organizational strategy. For example, large companies, such as Ford Motor Company and General Electric, have used competency models to promote the development of individual knowledge, skills, abilities, and other personal characteristics (KSAOs) consistent with organizational goals. AT&T developed one of the first organizational competency model systems. The model for assessing management was based, in part, on the military assessment programs that you read about in Week 1. AT&T decided to use similar competency models for other positions, which started to create a homogenous organization (Schippmann, 2000). Post a brief explanation of two advantages and two disadvantages of using competency models compared to using traditional approaches to job analysis for your job or a job with which you are familiar. Explain two potential consequences of customizing competency models to fit your organization. Support your response using Learning Resources and current literature.

In an initial post of at least 250 words, apply the five forces to your chosen industry and demonstrate how those forces can lower profitability.

Please review Chapter 4’s section concerning Porter’s 5 Forces, read the Forbes article Porter or Mintzberg: Whose View of Strategy Is the Most Relevant Today? (Links to an external site.) (Moore, 2011) and view the required You Tube video Five Competitive Forces That Shape Strategy (Links to an external site.), regarding Porter’s five forces. In the video, Mr. Porter discusses how Porter’s Five Forces Analysis is an important tool for assessing the potential for profitability in an industry. As an example, Mr. Porter applied these five forces to the airline industry. Think of another industry where profitability is low. In an initial post of at least 250 words, apply the five forces to your chosen industry and demonstrate how those forces can lower profitability.
