Although the epidemiology of mental disorders in the prison system has been investigated in the past, delivery of health services to prison inmates has not received similar scrutiny. Members of a state prison commission describe the process by which they developed their assessment of health care delivery. A model is offered for defining such a mission, selecting standards against which to test prison health services, choosing a testable focus, refining a valid and reliable methodology, and piloting the result.
尽管过去曾对监狱系统中精神障碍的流行病学进行过调查，但向监狱囚犯提供医疗服务却未受到类似的审视。一个州监狱委员会的成员描述了他们制定对医疗服务提供情况评估的过程。文中提供了一个模型，用于界定这样一项任务、选择用以检验监狱医疗服务的标准、选择一个可检验的重点、完善一种有效且可靠的方法，并对结果进行试点。
