in the jail system. CHS is a national leader in the delivery of
healthcare to the criminal-justice involved population and aspires
to the highest standards of care, with the goal of meeting or
exceeding what is available in the community. CHS care includes a
comprehensive history and physical at the point of admission,
robust screening efforts (HIV, hepatitis C, STDs, TB, etc.) and the
management of chronic and acute illness. CHS views incarceration as
a crucial opportunity to provide care to an underserved population
and improve the population health of the communities to which our
patients return. CHS is committed to continuously improving the
delivery of care in the security setting, using the system-wide
Electronic Health Record as a tool to promote patient safety and
population health. CHS has contributed to the literature on medical
care in the jail as well as public health concerns related to
incarceration and seeks to build on a reputation as a national
leader, now integrated into the larger H + H care delivery network.
CHS seeks to promote an academic practice environment with ample
opportunities for continuous education, clear pathways for career
growth and engagement of front line staff in the ongoing process of
improving clinical care.
