“…In jails, short lengths of stay, emotional distress, and acute intoxication on entry limit the potential scope of interventions that can be provided (Spaulding et al, ). Prison stays are longer, allowing for more extended engagement with health care, but quality of care is highly variable and often poor (Greifinger, ). Women in prison report inadequate care or care not designed to meet their needs (Hatton, Kleffel, & Fisher, ).…”

Health priorities of women after incarceration remain poorly understood, constraining development of interventions targeted at their health during that time. We explored the experience of health and health care after incarceration in a focused ethnography of 28 women who had been released from prison or jail within the past year and were living in community corrections facilities. The women's outlook on health was rooted in a newfound core optimism, but this was constrained by their pressing health-related issues; stress and uncertainty; and the pressures of the criminal justice system. These external forces threatened to cause collapse of women's core optimism. Findings support interventions that capitalize on women's optimism and address barriers specific to criminal justice contexts. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Five studies developed quality indicators or performance measures (Asch et al, 2011;Greifinger, 2012;Hoge, B., Lundquist, & Mellow, 2009;Stone et al, 2006;K. N. Wright, 2005), two sources reviewed indicators or approaches to performance measurement (Damberg et al, 2011;Teleki et al, 2011), one described implementation (Raimer & Stobo, 2004), and one commentary paper advised on implementation (Laffan, 2016).…”

“…What is not disputed is that -whichever goal is given primacy -prison healthcare globally needs to generate reliable evidence on healthcare provision and to be more accountable (McLeod et al, 2020). This could be facilitated in part by the implementation of transparent monitoring systems to measure evidencebased performance of prison healthcare and identify areas for improvement (Asch et al, 2011;Greifinger, 2012;Halachmi, 2002;Mainz, 2003). Such performance measurement would enable regular internal analyses of the quality of healthcare within a single prison, and permit external comparisons with healthcare provided in other prison establishments and in the community.…”

Quality indicators and performance measures for prison healthcare: a scoping review

et al. 2022

Background Internationally, people in prison should receive a standard of healthcare provision equivalent to people living in the community. Yet efforts to assess the quality of healthcare through the use of quality indicators or performance measures have been much more widely reported in the community than in the prison setting. This review aims to provide an overview of research undertaken to develop quality indicators suitable for prison healthcare. Methods An international scoping review of articles published in English was conducted between 2004 and 2021. Searches of six electronic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, PsycInfo and Criminal Justice Abstracts) were supplemented with journal searches, author searches and forwards and backwards citation tracking. Results Twelve articles were included in the review, all of which were from the United States. Quality indicator selection processes varied in rigour, and there was no evidence of patient involvement in consultation activities. Selected indicators predominantly measured healthcare processes rather than health outcomes or healthcare structure. Difficulties identified in developing performance measures for the prison setting included resource constraints, data system functionality, and the comparability of the prison population to the non-incarcerated population. Conclusions Selecting performance measures for healthcare that are evidence-based, relevant to the population and feasible requires rigorous and transparent processes. Balanced sets of indicators for prison healthcare need to reflect prison population trends, be operable within data systems and be aligned with equivalence principles. More effort needs to be made to meaningfully engage people with lived experience in stakeholder consultations on prison healthcare quality. Monitoring healthcare structure, processes and outcomes in prison settings will provide evidence to improve care quality with the aim of reducing health inequalities experienced by people living in prison.

We conducted a systematic scoping review to identify quality indicators, guidelines or standards measuring the quality of health or social care for adult criminal justice populations that were relevant to probation practice. Seventeen papers were included, and measures were categorised by how they were developed, which national probation service health and social care strategy objectives they relate to, type of measures, and what is measured. We aimed to identify existing indicators that may support improvements in the health of people on probation and the care that they receive, and to share any insights around developing and introducing such indicators in practice.
