Ourwell- <br />coordinated model of healthcare is patient -centered and evidence -based, emphasizing prevention, <br />continuity of care, and partnership with the City of Santa Ana. Our nursing services meet and exceed all <br />constitutional and community standards, as well as NCCHC standards. Our technologies provide more <br />efficient, accurate, and accountable methods for performing treatment protocols, while maintaining full <br />compliance. <br />Nursing Protocols <br />We ensure that nurses who provide clinical services are trained and do so under specific guidelines. <br />Nursing assessment protocols are used by nursing staff when providing clinical care. Nurses comply with <br />relevant state practice acts, and conduct data gathering and treatments appropriate to the level of skill, <br />training, and preparation of the nursing personnel who will carry them out (NCCHCJ-E-11, Nursing <br />Assessment Protocols). <br />We have developed nursing protocols that enable healthcare staff to readily deal with common <br />ailments. This gives the mid-level providers more clinical time to effectively treat offenders with serious <br />medical conditions. All nursing protocols are approved by our Chief Medical Officer and are reviewed <br />annually by the Vice President of Operations, Health Services Administrator, and responsible physician. <br />The protocols are available to each client facility in multiple forms—hard copy and electronic. They are <br />also available through the NaphCare Operations website. <br />Documentation of nurses' training in protocol use exists, including: <br />• Evidence that all new nursing staff are trained; <br />• Demonstration of knowledge and skills through competency testing; <br />• Evidence of annual review of skills; and <br />• Evidence of training when new protocols are introduced or revised. <br />Healthcare staff can access the protocols while treating the patient through TechCore®. The "Nursing <br />Protocol" tab allows healthcare staff to easily scroll through an alphabetic listing. The protocols ensure <br />that patients are treated in an effective, efficient manner by the nursing staff, and they allow the <br />nursing staff to more easily distinguish minor ailments from emergent medical needs. <br />Inmate Medical Services <br />City of Santa Ana <br />25F-21 <br />RFP No. 17-051 <br />22 <br />
