The prison should investigate whether American Legion will increase its fleet to have two ambulances dedicated for the sole use of MCSP. This would provide the citizens of the county with quicker medical transports without having unnecessary delays. If on-site doctors’ hours at MCSP were increased, it would also reduce the number of ambulance runs necessary. (F6)
F7:
The Office of Inspector General’s Report published in May 2016 found MCSP inadequate in 13 out of 14 quality indicators. The new CEO of Health Care Services indicated that she expected scores to improve somewhat in the next OIG report and then be greatly improved in subsequent reports. 12
