1. Standards

a) All medical services shall be provided at a minimal constitutionally adequate level of care and shall be compatible with the current standard Medicaid Service level of healthcare adjusted and enhanced to address the differences in demographics between the general population receiving Medicaid services and the inmate population.

Contract #C1938

Page 11 of 40 MODEL DOCUMENT REVISED 6/1/00

1) As a result of the assessments, a plan of care shall be developed as necessary for each inmate. The Contractor shall provide, or cause to be provided, all physical, dental and mental health services in accordance with specified healthcare standards set forth in Section II., D., 1. Standards above and consistent with maintaining a minimal constitutionally adequate level of care.

2) HSB 15.03.13 defines the procedures for assigning functional grades to inmates

utilizing a physical profiling system. Each inmate is assigned to an institution according to an overall functional capacity designation indicated by a numerical designation. The medical (X) grading system is as follows:

X-1: The individual possesses a high level of physical fitness and,

consequently, is medically fit for any assignment.

X-2: The individual meets acceptable standards, but possesses some medical condition or physical defect that may impose some limitations on assignment.

X-3: The individual has medical condition(s) or physical defect(s) that require certain restrictions in assignment to insure reasonable availability of care.

X-4: The individual has one or more severe medical conditions or physical impairments that require assignment restrictions to insure continuous monitoring of that condition or conditions.

An overall functional grade assignment may be made at any time an inmate has an encounter with healthcare personnel if that encounter indicates a change. On those occasions when evaluation or re-evaluation of an inmate's functional grade is appropriate, changes may only be made by a physician, or in the case of "S" category, by a psychiatrist or psychologist. Other mental health staff may recommend appropriate changes to the Chief Health Officer in the absence of a psychiatrist or psychologist. Either a physician, dentist, clinical associate, or a psychologist may change an "X" grade after coordination, but only based upon a valid medical or mental health limitation.

3) Anatomical defects or pathological conditions will not in themselves form the sole

basis for recommending assignment or work limitations. While these conditions must be given consideration when accomplishing the designation functional capacity, prognosis and the possibility of further aggravation must be considered.

4) Certain institutions in the twelve institutions in Region IV will house inmates

classified in all medical grades and mental health grades. Institutional capacities of medical and mental health grades can be found in Attachment A, “Facilities List, Cluster Demographics and Functional Capacities”.

b) Medical Records The Contractor shall ensure that all healthcare unit staff document each healthcare encounter in the Problem-Oriented Medical Record, utilizing the SOAP format, including specific Department of Corrections’ approved forms as outlined in Department of Corrections’ Rules, (Chapters 33-6, 33-19, Florida Administrative Code), pertinent Health Services Bulletins, and Florida Statutes.

A list of Department contracts with community provider facilities will be made available to the Contractor. The Contractor shall be financially responsible for all costs associated with the care of an inmate treated in a community provider facility.

i) The Contractor may utilize the Department’s current health services contracts with other healthcare providers, provided the Contractor obtains a Letter of Agreement from both the Department and the contractor in question, in advance, making the Contractor financially responsible for any costs incurred. The contractor will be required to utilize a hospital housing a secure prison ward when possible to minimize security costs unless other arrangements to contain such costs are made and approval is obtained in writing from the Contract Manager.

The Department's publication, "Mental Health Services Plan," provides guidelines on how the Department has organized its mental healthcare system. Inmates are assigned to an institution according to the mental health grade assigned during the health assessment each inmate receives upon incarceration. The grading system is as follows:

Contract #C1938

Page 16 of 40 MODEL DOCUMENT REVISED 6/1/00

S-1: Is the classification which indicates no significant impairment in the inmate's ability to adjust within an institutional environment due to the absence of an Axis I disorder, personality disorder, or mental retardation (MR). This classification may be assigned by a Psychological Specialist, Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Psychiatric Nurse, or in their absence, by a non-psychiatric physician.

S-2: Denotes mild impairment in adaptive functioning within general inmate

housing which is associated with an Axis I disorder, personality disorder, or MR (unless the inmate who suffers from mental retardation also has a diagnosed mental disorder which warrants a higher grade). The impairment is not so severe as to prevent satisfactory adjustment in general inmate housing with appropriate case management and brief psychological counseling. This classification may be assigned or reduced by a psychologist or psychiatrist, or in their absence, by a non-psychiatric physician. Note that in addition to S-2, the inmate with MR is also assigned the grade of “I-S” on the health profile. This latter grade indicates that the inmate is considered impaired (I) for mental health (S) reasons and is the sole means by which the MR inmate can be identified in the Offender Based Information System. MR is the only mental health related disorder or condition for which an inmate can be designated as impaired on the health profile.

S-3 Denotes moderate to severe impairment in adaptive functioning due to the

above-mentioned disorders. The impairment is not so severe as to prevent satisfactory adjustment in general inmate housing with case management, group and/or individual counseling, and psychiatric consultation. Clinical management of the disorder may require at least periodic administration of psychotropic medication, although the inmate may exercise his/her right to refuse the medication. An S-3 classification can only be assigned or reduced by a psychiatrist or senior psychologist.

S-4: This classification denotes assignment to a Transitional Care Unit (TCU) and

can only be assigned or changed by a psychiatrist at a TCU. A multidisciplinary team will tailor a treatment plan to the inmate's specific needs and limitations.

S-5: This classification denotes assignment to a Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU)

or to the Corrections Mental Health Institution (CMHI), the long-term care psychiatric hospital operated by the Department. This classification can only be assigned or changed by a psychiatrist at a CSU or at CMHI. A multidisciplinary team will help the inmate recover from a psychiatric emergency situation, such as suicide attempt, psychotic break, or severe loss of behavioral control.

Only a psychiatrist or psychologist can approve an evaluation or re-evaluation of an inmate’s mental health grade, however, other mental health staff may recommend appropriate changes to the Chief Health Officer in their absence. Institutional capacities of mental health grades can be found in Attachment A, “Facilities List, Cluster Demographics and Functional Capacities”.

b) The mental health scope of services to be provided to the inmate population by appropriate mental health staff includes, but is not limited to: (1) Screening and orientation of all new arrivals.

19. Inmate Grievances/Complaints

Inmates have the opportunity to file grievances about any aspect of their incarceration, including healthcare. Any grievances filed by inmates regarding healthcare shall be referred to the CHO or Designee, who shall review the claim and gather information concerning the complaint, and take appropriate action consistent with institutional grievance procedures (HSB 15.02.01) and Chapter 33-29, Florida Administrative Code. Upon request from the Office of Health Services or the Contract Manager, the Contractor shall furnish all information provided in response to the grievances. Information shall be provided in a timely manner. Those grievances not satisfied at the institutional level can be appealed by the inmate to the Office of Health Services for resolution. A high number of appeals upheld at this level would indicate a problem/breakdown with the grievance process at the institutional level and a possible weakness in the delivery of appropriate and medically necessary healthcare. a) Performance Measures

Pursuant to the Government Performance and Accountability Act of 1994, certain performance outcome measures are established in the General Appropriations Act FY 2000 – 2001 to protect the public and maintain a humane environment in correctional institutions for incarcerated offenders and the staff that maintains custody of them by applying effective basic healthcare treatment to inmates. The Contractor will ensure that compliance/performance rates for the following two outcome measures are at or below those set in the General Appropriations Act FY 2000 – 2001 or Implementing Bill.

Contract #C1938

Page 23 of 40 MODEL DOCUMENT REVISED 6/1/00

1) Percentage of healthcare grievances upheld region-wide. 2) Number of suicides region-wide per 100,000 inmates compared to the national

average for correctional facilities/institutions.

Due to the fact that a high number of healthcare grievances upheld imply a weakness in the institutional healthcare delivery system, exceeding the healthcare grievance rate established in the General Appropriations Act FY 2000 – 2001 or Implementing Bill may result in the assessment of liquidated damages as set forth in Section VII., W., Liquidated Damages. Exceeding either rate will result in appropriate clinical reviews by the Office of Health Services and possible citations for contract non-compliance.

V. CONTRACT MODIFICATION

This section establishes the only procedures by which the Contractor may obtain compensation or reimbursement in excess of the amounts proposed for performance of this Contract or by which the Department may reduce contract costs or prices or the scope of work/scope of service.

Page 30 of 40 MODEL DOCUMENT REVISED 6/1/00

regulations. Conversely, the parties agree to negotiate a reduction in compensation should resulting changes in the scope of services result in a substantial reduction of costs. In the event the scope of services changes, either substantially increasing or decreasing the Contractor’s costs, the contract will be amended in writing to address the change and reasonable compensation will therefore be paid. It is specifically agreed that any compensation will be effective the date the changed scope of services is directed, in writing, and implemented. Full, written justification with documentation sufficient for audit will be required to authorize an increase or decrease in compensation. In the event a change of scope occurs, either party shall have ninety (90) days to request an increase or decrease in compensation or that party will be considered to have waived this right. If the parties are unable to negotiate an agreed upon increase or decrease in compensation or reimbursement, the Director of Health Services shall determine what changes to the scope of services will be made and what the resultant compensation should be.

M. Subcontracts

The Contractor is fully responsible for all work performed under this Contract.

Such penalty shall be in addition to actual payments owed and shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding balance due.

P. Severability

The Contractor shall forward a cashier’s check or money order, payable to the Department in the appropriate amount to the Contract Manager within ten (10) days of receipt of a written notice of demand for liquidated damages due.

1. If the Contractor fails to meet contract compliance or service requirements or correct contract

deficiencies, the Deputy Director of Health Services Administration shall determine if liquidated damages are to be assessed. Notice of the unsatisfactory service and of the Department’s intent to assess liquidated damages shall be made in writing to the Contractor. Damages will be assessed as follows:

Contract #C1938

Page 36 of 40 MODEL DOCUMENT REVISED 6/1/00

a) Within the first ninety (90) days after the implementation date for each facility, no

damages will apply. b) Ninety days after the implementation date at each facility: Within the first fifteen

(15) days after the Contractor’s receipt of notice – No adjustment for damages if deficiencies are corrected within the fifteen (15) day time period.

c) After fifteen (15) days of initial notice of unsatisfactory service (without corrective action initiated and if unsatisfactory service continues), liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000 per day will be assessed.

2. In order to maintain accreditation with the American Correctional Association, each

operational area within each institution must be in compliance with ACA standards. Even where only a single operational area within an institution is found non-compliant with ACA standards, the entire institution will lose its accreditation. Therefore, in the event an institution fails to maintain ACA accreditation due to the non-compliance of the healthcare delivery system, liquidated damages in the amount of $50,000 will be assessed against the Contractor. Full compliance with ACA Standards and re-obtainment of accreditation must be reestablished as soon as possible. Liquidated damages shall be assessed per institution and per incident of loss of accreditation. The Contractor shall not be assessed these liquidated damages unless the Contractor has assumed responsibility for the delivery of comprehensive healthcare services for at least nine months at the institution.

3. Pursuant to Section II., D., 19., a. Performance Measures, if the percentage of inmate

healthcare grievances appealed to and upheld by the Office of Health Services exceeds the performance standard of 3% set forth in the General Appropriations Act FY 2000 - 2001, liquidated damages in the amount of $5,000 will be assessed for each percentage point above the 3% standard. This will apply to each contract year with the first such period ending June 30, 2002.
