Person-Centered Prevention and Management of Infectious Diseases Recommendations
This report identifies the COVID-19 related deaths of 20 people under the care and custody of the Washington Department of Corrections during the period June 2020 through December 2022 and discusses factors contributing to these infectious disease-related mortalities within the state’s prison system. The report includes four themes, along with their supporting recommendations, and is intended to assist the DOC in establishing and delivering person-centered prevention and management of infectious diseases and correctional medicine excellence.
The Four Themes are:
- Patient-Centered Care Model
- Supporting Informed End-of-Life Decisions
- Patient Autonomy and Choice
- Alternative Care Spaces
