The registered nurses them follow the doctor’s orders and communicate back to the doctor the inmate’s results from his treatment. It was found that an inmate would fill out a grievance form sending it to Level 1, the medical staff. The registered nurse would check the inmate based upon his grievance and fill out the resolution section of the grievance. After a diagnostic determination was made, and the inmate continued to have an illness complaint the inmate would fill out a grievance form continuing through the levels for a resolution. This process could take several days to two weeks for the inmate to receive a resolution. The inmate can request extra test ran, but it is up to the CMFG doctor to approve them based on his findings.
