In an effort to improve the quality of health services within a large urban jail, former military medical corpsmen have been employed as an integral component of a jail health service. Medical corpsmen are responsible for the performance of intake medical evaluations, delivery of prescription medications, triage for physician sick call, and provision of elementary health services on the jail tiers. Utilization of medical corpsmen has been associated with improved rates of medication delivery as well as beneficial effects in relation to tuberculosis and venereal disease control, and a more appropriate utilization of physician services. Effective utilization of medical corpsmen requires cooperation from the correctional staff as well as consistent supervision and support by qualified physicians.
为了提高大型城市监狱内的医疗服务质量，已聘请前军事医务人员作为监狱医疗服务的一个组成部分。医务人员负责进行入院医疗评估、发放处方药、对医生诊疗呼叫进行分诊以及在监狱各层提供基本医疗服务。使用医务人员与提高药物发放率以及在结核病和性病控制方面的有益效果相关，并且能更合理地利用医生服务。有效利用医务人员需要惩教人员的合作以及合格医生的持续监督和支持。
