Worldwide, there is a lack of systematically collected health data on people who are incarcerated. Our objective in this paper was to describe a process model of formative work for a project to strengthen health surveillance for people incarcerated under a Canadian prison authority. We have developed project structures and processes, and we are evaluating project partnerships. To inform prison health surveillance foci, we are conducting a review of literature on best practices, a qualitative study to understand stakeholders' needs and priorities, and mapping work to understand available prison health-related data. Developing and implementing prison health surveillance is gradual and developmental, necessitating time to build relationships and obtain approvals. The needs and interests of knowledge users should be prioritized, but there may be challenges to achieving a coherent vision due to feasibility and differing needs and objectives of various stakeholders. Developing collaborative relationships could help bridge this gap.
在全球范围内，对于被监禁者的健康数据缺乏系统的收集。我们在本文中的目标是描述一个项目的形成性工作过程模型，该项目旨在加强加拿大监狱管理局监管下被监禁者的健康监测。我们已经制定了项目结构和流程，并正在评估项目伙伴关系。为了为监狱健康监测重点提供信息，我们正在对最佳实践文献进行审查，开展一项定性研究以了解利益相关者的需求和优先事项，并进行映射工作以了解可用的监狱健康相关数据。开发和实施监狱健康监测是一个渐进和发展的过程，需要时间来建立关系并获得批准。知识使用者的需求和利益应优先考虑，但由于可行性以及各利益相关者的不同需求和目标，可能难以实现一致的愿景。建立合作关系可能有助于弥合这一差距。
