Abstract
This descriptive analysis examines data collected as part of the accreditation program of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC). Based on the NCCHC Standards for Health Services, the accreditation program uses external peer review to determine whether correctional institutions meet these standards in their provision of health services. Analysis of compliance patterns looked at four facility characteristics—total annual admission, capacity, average daily population, and average daily intake—for jails and prisons. Findings reveal differences between facilities that were compliant and those that were not compliant with specific standards. These findings can inform the development of tailored quality improvement programs.
