The field of corrections and healthcare services for corrections is constantly evolving, requiring continuous learning and professional development for healthcare administrators.
With responsibility for leading complex correctional healthcare systems, administrators of correctional healthcare
systems are charged with managing human resources, developing and implementing agency policies and procedures, engaging with internal and external stakeholders, and administering significant fiscal resources – all while supporting strong business practices and delivering results.
As such, it is critically important for healthcare administrators to keep abreast of correctional best practices and emerging issues, as well as developing and maintaining a strong peer network of other correctional healthcare administrators.
Further, other Healthcare Administrators of Corrections provide vital assistance in gathering information, sharing perspectives, and providing possible solutions to their peers.
