Paragraph (State the paragraph exactly as it appears in the manual).
(7.10) A medical request procedure shall be established and maintained so that inmates may request medical assistance which may or may not require a formal clinic visit. All inmates shall be provided medical request forms upon notification to staff. All written medical requests shall be screened on a daily basis by medically trained personnel and appropriate referrals made. In addition, any request received as a result of medication rounds or formal sick call shall be screened when received and referred as appropriate.
Proposal (State the paragraph exactly as you believe it should appear in the manual).
(7.10) A medical request procedure shall be established and maintained so that inmates may request medical assistance which may or may not require a formal clinic visit. All inmates shall be provided with a confidential means to initiate a medical request forms upon notification to staff. All written medical requests shall be screened on a daily basis by medically trained personnel and appropriate referrals made for non-emergent illness and injury. In addition, any request received as a result of medication rounds or formal sick call shall be screened when received and referred as appropriate. Treatment shall occur within the time period as provided by the Health Authority.
Rationale for revision.
Not all facilities use medical request forms. Sick call is for non-emergency illness and should be in a time period defined by the Health Authority.
Re-wrote to combine 7.11 and 7.12.
