Health Services Division (Oregon DOC)

The Oregon Department of Corrections Health Services division page states the legal standard governing prison health care in Oregon: state and federal laws entitle adults in custody to health care during incarceration, and the services provided must be comparable to health care provided in the community, meaning all types and levels of care must be delivered in a clinically appropriate manner by properly credentialed professionals in settings designed and equipped for health care delivery. Covered services are medical, dental, psychiatric and mental health. The page names the Assistant Director for Health Services and discloses that an investigation into the Health Services Division and key leadership positions has concluded, with Deputy Director Heidi Steward leading the division pending a comprehensive review by Falcon Correctional and Community Services, and Dr. Michael Seale named Interim Chief of Medicine. It also documents the division's transition from paper charting to an electronic health record across 12 institutions under a contract with Fusion, intended to give internal and external providers immediate access to patient records.
