The preparation and distribution of medication in prisons or jails are critical for individuals to access their treatment. This process is resource-intensive for healthcare professionals and may violate principles of confidentiality, autonomy, respect, and dignity if non-qualified staff are involved. However, there are no published best practices on the topic. This report aims to bridge this gap by presenting the results of a mapping exercise on different models of medication preparation and delivery. Authors call upon healthcare professionals to enrich this live document to inform health services research further and improve access to prescribed medications for people experiencing incarceration.
在监狱或看守所中准备和分发药物对于个人获得治疗至关重要。对于医疗保健专业人员来说，这个过程需要大量的资源，如果涉及非合格人员，可能会违反保密、自主、尊重和尊严的原则。但是，关于这个主题没有发表的最佳实践。本报告旨在通过展示不同的药物准备和交付模式的映射研究结果来填补这一空白。作者呼吁医疗保健专业人员充实这份实时文档，以进一步推动卫生服务研究，并改善被监禁者获得规定药物的机会。
