Rapid Rise in Contract Payments for Inpatient and Outpatient Care, CDC
From the Introduction section of the Auditor's report:
To provide medically necessary health care to inmates, Corrections operates four types of health care facilities: four general acute care hospitals, 14 correctional treatment centers, 13 outpatient housing units, and one skilled nursing facility. Additionally, it contracts with the Department of Mental Health to provide all inpatient acute mental health services to certain inmates at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville and to some of the inmates at the correctional treatment center at Salinas Valley State Prison. For care not available in its own facilities, Corrections contracts with medical service providers in the surrounding communities, including hospitals. Table 1 presents the types of health care facilities, the number of doctors available on site, the average daily inmate population, and the average daily inmate population per doctor at each institution during fiscal year 2002-03.
