Correctional facilities and prisons
Clinical virtual care consultations deliver continued and quality care to people in correctional facilities.
Why Virtual Care for Correctional Facilities?
Continuity of Care
Supports health management and post-release care coordination.
Reduced Risks
Minimise operational disruption, travel time and more.
Safer Care
Provide specialist consultations within secure environments.
Ready for Regulatory Changes
Future-proofed for new healthcare standards.
Virtual care ensures people in prison have timely access to a healthcare practitioner.
People in custody experience significantly higher rates of chronic illness, mental health conditions and complex health needs than the general population.
Many correctional facilities are located in regional or remote areas, where access to specialists and hospital services is limited.
Traditional models rely on off-site transfers, increasing security risk, cost, and disruption.
Using cutting-edge technology, Visionflex’s virtual care devices capture high-quality images, videos, and patient vitals. This data enables specialists to develop a treatment plan, removing the need for unnecessary prisoner transport.
Benefits of Virtual Care Technology for Corrections
Virtual care bridges the healthcare gaps in corrections by enabling secure, in-facility consultations with primary care providers and specialists, reducing unnecessary transport while ensuring timely access to care.
By supporting in-place care, ongoing monitoring and specialist collaboration, virtual care strengthens chronic disease management, mental health support and continuity of care within custodial settings.
Virtual care is particularly effective for managing mental health conditions, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory illness, dermatology and post-operative follow-up.
