"Solving Tomorrow’s Problems Today"

Welcome to our site, the purpose of which is to provide useful information for those who deal with the medical management of offenders in custody.

Offender healthcare expenses are influenced by a variety of factors, some of which are more controllable than others.

A decision to seek medical attention on behalf of an offender necessarily entails expense and can be vitally important. However, these utilization decisions are often made in a highly manipulative and litigious setting, where the path of least resistance is inviting but wasteful.

A thorough understanding of clinical issues and managed care principles is essential as jail administrators and elected officials face the need to balance fiscal accountability on one hand with liability concerns on the other.

While gaining better control of utilization is an important goal, other operational issues also need to be addressed if liability and litigation exposure are to be minimized.
