Successful reentry: the perspective of private correctional health care providers.

Due to public health and safety concerns, discharge planning is increasingly prioritized by correctional systems when preparing prisoners for their reintegration into the community. Annually, private correctional health care vendors provide $3 billion of health care services to inmates in correctional facilities throughout the U.S., but rarely are contracted to provide transitional health care. A discussion with 12 people representing five private nationwide correctional health care providers highlighted the barriers they face when implementing transitional health care and what templates of services health care companies could provide to state and counties to enhance the reentry process.

Ethical issues arising from the requirement to provide written information in palliative care.

French Healthcare Networks aim to help healthcare workers take care of patients by improving co-operation, co-ordination and the continuity of care. When applied to palliative care in the home, they facilitate overall care, including medical, social and psychological aspects. French legislation in 2002 required that an information document explaining the functioning of the Network should be given to patients when they enter a Healthcare Network. Ethical problems arise from this legislation with regard to providing terminal patients with explicit information upon their entry into the palliative phase of the disease, and requiring them to sign the document. It highlights the limitations of this practice, and the gap between the legislation and the nature of the physician-patient relationship in palliative care.
