As an integrated provider that regularly coordinates correctional medical, dental, mental health and pharmacy care, Correctional Medical Services, Inc. (CMS) offers the ability to deliver better health outcomes for your population.
CMS' integrated service delivery can lower the risk of errors and increase efficiency.
- It fits in with the healthcare philosophy that favors treating the whole person, rather than just the disease.
- Single-source accountability also means transparency. It gives clients a clear line of sight to the key metrics of service delivery and outcomes.
- With CMS, system-wide changes can be initiated easily through one point of contact.
- CMS has the state-of-the-art technology needed to enhance quality and accountability — tools for data management, tracking, reporting and information sharing.
- CMS is accountable for providing a level of care that meets or exceeds community standards.
Quality healthcare saves money in the long run. It can reduce the costs of managing chronic illnesses — such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure — and their associated problems, including costly dialysis or cardiac care.
As an example, consider the control of diabetes among the inmate population. Our studies show that CMS patients achieve average blood sugar levels much lower than those of the community, thanks to ongoing management programs.
