Expanding Jail Services & Improving Health for Incarcerated People Using HRSA Policy 18-02

Maricopa County’s Part A Program used HRSA Policy 18-02, which defines allowable services for incarcerated individuals, to expand services in county jails. This session provides a clinical and administrative perspective on the processes, forms, and services that decreased time from jail-based diagnosis to treatment and viral load suppression.

Learning Objectives

1. Restate HRSA Policy 18-02.
2. Describe how an established Early Intervention and Case Management Program within a jail setting was able to implement new systems that improved linkage to care timelines and rapid start medication protocols for incarcerated individuals.
3. Review data, forms and processes related to improved health outcomes for clients that received services under HRSA Policy 18-02.
