RFP/RFQ Development & Support
Our team supports agencies and correctional facilities in creating RFPs/RFQs that contain carefully crafted, accurate, and comprehensive information for prospective health care vendors — which, in turn, enables contractors to propose an appropriate plan for meeting your correctional health care goals, delivering quality services, and setting appropriate prices.

Mental Health Care Services
Untreated mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders have increased the acuity of incoming arrestees, which increases the risk of critical incidents and adverse outcomes. Correctional health care systems that are proactive in the identification of patient needs, and their delivery of mental health services, tend to provide effective, efficient, and timely care. NCCHC Resources works with your facility to address needs and provide solutions to your challenges. More >>
Health Care Space Design
The physical space that is used to provide health services is a critical component of high-quality care. Through detailed examination, we assess overall clinic and housing design, patient flow, staff workstations, and equipment placement, with special attention paid to suicide prevention measures.
Training and Education
NCCHC Accreditation Preparation
By reviewing your current correctional health care services policies, procedures, and practices, we determine if your health program is compliant with NCCHC’s Standards for Health Services for prisons or jails and provide clear recommendations for achieving compliance.. Through subsequent monitoring, we can evaluate whether further changes are required.
Correctional Health Care Certification Preparation
Through individual assessments, we determine whether staff members are on track for NCCHC professional certification programs and make recommendations for additional training and preparation, when necessary.
Crisis Intervention Training (CIT)
Our crisis intervention training teaches your correctional staff, officers, and administrators to recognize mental health and psychiatric symptoms, calm disruptive behaviors, and apply de-escalation techniques to help them avoid potentially violent interactions and create safe outcomes for staff and incarcerated populations alike.
