Challenges we solve
Correctional healthcare runs on high turnover, constant movement and strict documentation requirements. Generic clinic software wasn’t built for any of it.
Records that don’t follow the patient
Transfers between facilities and releases to the community break continuity when information lives in paper files or disconnected systems.
Intake volume and turnover
Booking-to-screening workflows have to be fast, consistent and complete, every hour of every day.
Medication passes at scale
Med passes across housing units need accurate administration records and clear accountability.
Audit and accreditation pressure
Documentation must stand up to accreditation reviews, litigation and oversight — without adding manual work for staff.
Key capabilities
Workflows configured around how correctional health actually works — not generic clinic templates.
Intake & screening
Structured intake screening captures history, medications and acute needs once, so the record is ready from day one.
Sick call & chronic care
Manage sick call requests, follow-ups and chronic care clinics in one queue with clear status for every patient.
Behavioral health & dental
Medical, behavioral, dental and administrative documentation in a single chart instead of separate silos.
eMAR & medication passes
Integrated electronic medication administration records for order, verification and administration across housing units.
Jail management system integration
Connects with jail management systems, labs, immunization registries and HIEs so data moves without re-entry.
Release & reentry
Records follow patients through transfer and release, with secure sharing to community providers via HIE.
