| Popis: | In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in one in five individuals incarcerated in U.S. correctional institutions contracting COVID-19 and 1,700 deaths. Correctional adult transition centers house incarcerated individuals who typically do not have on-site health care access. A COVID-19 outbreak could devastate this population, who live in high-density conditions and have been documented as high risk for poor health outcomes. Owing to a robust practice partnership between a college of nursing and two adult transition centers, a nurse-led COVID-19 initiative was implemented to minimize transmission in the facilities and ensure appropriate health care referral for residents who tested positive for COVID-19. The initiative identified six residents with positive results, who were transferred to a state prison infirmary for management and to minimize risk for other residents. |
