Mission Statement - The Oklahoma Department of Corrections Medical Services
Unit is committed to providing clinically appropriate, medically necessary,
professional, efficient, and humane medical and dental care for offender patients.
Medical Services provides medical and dental care for offenders in Oklahoma Department
of Corrections (ODOC) facilities, work centers, contract facilities, and
DOC offenders in contract county jail beds. An electronic health record system
is now in use at all ODOC facilities, this allows current access to electronic
documentation of all medical services and consults provided. Quality and
access to care is strongly emphasized and is measured by periodic facility audits
by central office performance improvement nurse managers and by a performance
improvement committee composed of ODOC professional Medical staff. The American
Correctional Association accredits all of the medical services units along with
their facilities.
Generic and clinically appropriate medications are prescribed. Medications
are provided by an outside pharmacy vendor at very low costs resulting in extremely
efficient medication cost control. A pharmacy and therapeutics committee
composed of ODOC clinicians and pharmacist monitors prescribing practices for
cost efficiency and quality of care.
An internal ODOC utilization and review committee composed of ODOC physicians
and staff monitors for efficient use of internal and external resources; including
hospital days, emergency room visits, laboratory tests, and specialty care. All
offender patient deaths are reviewed internally by ODOC physicians’ mortality
peer review and are also reviewed externally by the Oklahoma Foundation for Medical
Quality.
