Washington, MBA, Clinical Service Bureau Director, Utah Department of Corrections, Salt Lake City, Utah Room 202 Sponsored by the Healthcare Committee and Coalition of Correctional Health Authorities This workshop will focus on infectious diseases like the flu, drug resistant diseases like tuberculosis and well-known viruses like HIV/AIDS and HCV, that are present in our populations. This workshop will discuss reducing dissemination of infection associated with health care by assisting with assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of infectious policies. Infection control practices are critical to reduce transmission of infections from one person to another, such as from a health care worker to a patient, and vice versa. Our main goal is to protect public health and safety through the control and prevention of disease, injury and disability in the correctional system. Objectives: Participants will be able to deliver prevention and control of infections associated with health care; understand the support to prevent spread of infectious disease; and prepare infection control preparedness and response to emergencies.

B-1A Health Services and Corrections: Can’t We All Just Get Along? (CE/CME/ Y CE/CERP)

Room 200 Sponsored by the Healthcare Committee and Coalition of Correctional Health Authorities All state and local correctional agencies grapple with the challenges of providing necessary medical and psychiatric services to inmates while maintaining the mission of “care, custody and control.” Research has indicated that, over time, inmates are entering our correctional systems with an increasing variety of complex and co-occurring medical and psychiatric conditions which must be addressed during their detention. Accordingly, corrections agencies must respond to requests and mandates to provide additional funding, space, equipment and custody support for health care services. These additional needs add stress to already “stretched” staffing models and budgets, causing difficult relationships between correctional professionals and health care service providers. The workshop will discuss areas of conflict between custody needs and medical services needs while exploring strategies and solutions from both perspectives. The purpose of the workshop is to have a frank and honest discussion regarding how to handle some of the competing interests of security services, clinical services and administrative requirements. Objectives: Participants will be able to understand some of the reasons for the operational challenges and conflicts across disciplines in corrections; recognize inherent differences in operations between custody and health care services; learn strategies to break down barriers between custody and health care staff; and learn how to develop protocols involving joint operations. Moderator: E. Carolina Montoya, Psy.D., Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department, Miami, Florida
