A Review of NCCHC’s Standards for Mental Health Services - Recorded during the 2021 Virtual Spring Conference on Correctional Health


Presented by: Judith Cox MA CCHP and Sharen Barboza PhD CCHP-MH


The Standards for Mental Health Services provides a framework for improved mental health care delivery and outcomes in adult correctional facilities. The foundation of NCCHC's mental health accreditation program, these standards parallel those for health services, but they make more explicit what is required for adequate delivery of mental health services. This practical seminar will explain what the standards say with regard to the general areas of care and treatment, clinical records, administration, personnel and legal issues. You will leave equipped to implement quality improvements that will lead to more efficient and effective delivery of services, better patient care, fewer adverse events and reduced liability risk. 2.5 CE credits
