Corrective Action Plans for PerformanceMeasure: Mental Health (Q)
3 Are MH treatment plans updated every 90 days for each SMI inmate, and at least every 12 months for all
other MH-3 and above inmates? [CC 2.20.2.10]
Level 1 Amber User: Steve Bender Date: 5/23/2013 7:31:00 AM
Corrective Plan: yes per regional psychiatry policy is being carried out accordingly.
There will be a comprehensive review of treatment plans on each yard. This is part of a Corizon initiative involving
improvments of inmate treatment plans with focus on inmate participation, identifying strengths and weaknesses
and examining behaviorial objectives. This will also be brought up at a psychology team meeting.
Corrective Actions: Are MH treatment plans updated every 90 days for each SMI inmate, and at least every 12
months for all other MH-3 and above inmates?
MH Treatment plans are updated every 30 to 90 days for SMI inmates. These updates are done by the psych
associate and/or the psychologist on each yard. Each inmates chart is given an individual treatment plan and must
be noted accordingly within the 90 days allotted policy time frame.
MH treatment plans for MH-3’s are not up to dated on yearly treatment plans. Staffing issues have posed this
problem with getting all MH-3 charts updated in a timely manner.
Mental health is working to correct the lack of staff needed to maintain updated charts for the inmates with MH-3
scores, and will continue to work on making these 12 month deadlines.
Morning chart reviews are being done Monday through Friday by MH staff to ensure that a set amount of charts are
being updated. This will help to ensure that all MH inmate treatment plans are being carried out accordingly.
4 Are inmates with a mental score of MH-3 and above seen by MH staff according to policy? [CC 2.20.2.10]
Level 2 Amber User: Steve Bender Date: 5/23/2013 7:35:26 AM
Corrective Plan: Corrective action includes training new staff. There has been only one pyschiatric nurse working
PRN and two have recently been hired. One currently remains in orientation. With the new nurses working we
anticipate improvement in this area. Some innovative methods will be explored to meet the challenges.
Corrective Actions: I will contact the FHA in Perryville and see how this is being addressed.
6 Are reentry/discharge plans established no later than 30 days prior release for all inmates with a MH
score of MH-3 and above? [CC 2.20.2.10]
Level 2 Amber User: Steve Bender Date: 5/23/2013 7:39:31 AM

Corrective Plan: Are medication errors forwarded to the FHA to review corrective action plan?
Clinical
I receive them and sign off on them. The Corizon medication error form does not have an area for corrective action
on it. We have a seperate form for corrective action and I have instructed the Director of Nursing to provide me with
an action plan for every medication error submitted.

6 Are there any unreasonable delays in inmate receiving prescribed medications?
Level 2 Amber User: Trudy Dumkrieger Date: 5/31/2013 4:02:08 PM
Corrective Plan: Are there any unreasonable delays in inmate receiving prescribed medications?
The delay of medications are caused by the amount of transfers within the facility and to outside facilities.
When an inmate is transferred all KOP medications are moved with inmates by security and all DOT medications
are moved within the facility by nursing staff.
Any re-issued medication are done by Pharmacorr for external moves.
Nursing and pharmacy staff work hard to ensure that inmates medications are not delayed during movement.
There is minimal delay in inmates receiving prescribed medications. See below.

8 Are chronic condition medication expiration dates being reviewed prior to expiration to ensure continuity
of care?
[NCCHC Standard P-D-01]
Level 2 Amber User: Trudy Dumkrieger Date: 5/31/2013 4:09:32 PM
Corrective Plan: Are chronic condition medication expiration dates being reviewed prior to expiration to ensure
continuity of care?
Chronic care medications are a priority and are monitored by both the provider and the nursing staff to ensure
inmates are receiving all care plan medications for their condition.
Pharmacy sends each medical unit a weekly expiration list for the upcoming week of meds that are to be renewed.
The supervisors on the units intercept the list and begin the process to renew, order or discontinued all medications
accordingly. This ensures that the medication renewals are done prior to expiring.
Chronic care medications are listed on these weekly lists for assurance of renewal.

Corrective Plan: Are missing / lost health tools or instruments reported immediately to the shift commander?
Compliance
Plan of action is to ensure that staff are educated. The Director of Nursing will send out a signature memo with
instructions on completing a tool disposition. By signing this form the nurse understands the instructions provided
on how to complete the form and the importance of completing the tool disposition form. After signing, the forms
will be added to the employees file. If they fail to follow instructions then corrective action will follow.
Corrective Actions: Approved by M. Bedoya. See above.
