Healthcare Provider Uses HIE Data to Help Inmates Transition from Jail

A jail-to-community transition program improves medication consistency and continuity of care, based upon the goal of reducing recidivism. People who go to jail frequently lack access to healthcare, mental health services, and appropriate medications before, during and after they are incarcerated. Without proper treatment, many of these individuals return to substance and/or alcohol use, causing mental health issues to go untreated. This can perpetuate a cycle of recidivism that further deepens their legal, financial, and personal woes. In an effort to help inmates make a transition towards healthier, more functional lives, Health Care Partners Foundation and other healthcare providers serving county jails utilize data from CORHIO’s PatientCare 360® to make informed decisions on their care. A growing number of detention centers use Health Information Exchanges (HIE) to access health information on inmates as part of a medication consistency pilot program supported by the states.
