SAGE Partners with NCCHC to Publish the Journal of Correctional Health
Care
SAGE is pleased to announce it's now partnering with the National
Commission on Correctional Health Care to publish the Journal of
Correctional Health Care. Edited by John R. Miles, MPA, this quarterly,
peer-reviewed scientific journal focuses on the latest developments in
correctional health care.
The January 2006 issue of Journal of Correctional Health Care is now
available at http://jchc.sagepub.com located on SAGE Journals Online.
Additional content will be uploaded in June.
Featuring original research, case studies, best practices and literature
reviews, the Journal addresses areas such as: clinical health care,
health services and support, staffing, ethical issues, medical records,
risk management and medical-legal issues. Each issue also has a
self-study exam by which professionals may earn continuing education
credit.
"While the main focus of the Journal of Correctional Health Care is on
inmates," commented Mr. Miles, an eminent public health expert with a
39-year history at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
"their families, neighborhoods and even the corrections staff also
benefit. The Journal provides the forum to discuss collaborations
between corrections and public health programs at all levels and to
disseminate research findings to correctional, public health and
community care providers."
"Our strategic alliance with SAGE will be a tremendous benefit to
researchers and practitioners in this growing field," added NCCHC
president Edward A. Harrison. "With surging awareness that correctional
health care is a vital element of public health, access to the best
available research is more important than ever. NCCHC and SAGE are
committed to leading the way in this field, and together will provide
new resources to enhance the practice of correctional medicine."
