Correctional health systems represent some of the largest health systems in the United States, caring for patients with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The poorly understood realm of correctional health care represents a missed opportunity to integrate care for these patients with care provided by community health providers. Three aims are integral to effective correctional health: patient safety, population health, and human rights. Patient safety and population health are well-defined aims in community health care systems and emerging in correctional settings. Dual loyalty and other unique challenges in correctional settings make the human rights aim absolutely essential for promoting correctional health.
惩教卫生系统是美国一些规模最大的卫生系统，负责照料发病率和死亡率高的患者。惩教卫生保健这一鲜为人知的领域是一个错失的机会，未能将这些患者的护理与社区卫生服务提供者所提供的护理整合起来。有效惩教卫生有三个不可或缺的目标：患者安全、人群健康和人权。患者安全和人群健康在社区卫生保健系统中是明确的目标，在惩教环境中也逐渐显现。惩教环境中的双重忠诚及其他独特挑战使得人权目标对于促进惩教卫生绝对至关重要。
