Many facilities can be described as a see-saw with quality healthcare on one end, a limited budget in the middle, and unpredictable but rising costs on the other end.
TransformHealthRx brings stability to each facility it works with. We "Rightsize" staff requirements against the number of inmates and local health provider eco-system. Engaging the clinical and facility staff in the healthcare delivery
process is the single most important factor to our success.
Here is what one jail administrator is saying about our service..
“We have been dealing with multiple issues prior to April 2008 and it was an impossible juggling act. I had no medical staff and had to rely on facilities outside the jail for direction of care. Many of those providers viewed county inmates as “cash cows” since billed charges were simply paid by the county and payment was assured. An admission or ER visit offered an opportunity for plenty of expensive tests and multiple charges for things like procedures, pharmacy etc. It also offered the prospect of a very expensive stay.”
“Soft costs” were a significant issue for
us as well. It was not only the expense of the everyday issues that included staffing, cars, etc that dented the budget, but when there was a psych case, “I just cringed with
the realization that the inmate may be sent anywhere in the state of Georgia. Their budgets were being cut like ours and many times we found the facility was on bed diversion and we were sent to distant facilities increasing costs yet again.”
“In April of 2008, TransformHealthRx was put in charge of our program and “life has been much easier”. We went from no managable service to excellent service and from high cost to low cost in one fell swoop. We saw the impact the very first day.”
Our county jail was paying over $10.00 per day per inmate and has seen that cost decline to between three and four dollars. These savings started with the first month of service.
“Health care is no longer a black box for us”.
