SUMMARY:Webinar: The Importance of Accurate Head Trauma Assessment in Corrections
DESCRIPTION:Head injuries are one of the most common injuries encountered in corrections\, and also one of the most difficult to diagnose accurately. Correctional institutions are generally not equipped with advanced diagnostic equipment such as CT scanners for evaluation\, necessitating patient transfer to a higher level of care. Overdiagnosing head injuries results in expenditure of personnel and resources. Underdiagnosing of head injuries may result in adverse patient outcomes and increased liability for the facility. \nIn this presentation\, attendees will learn to identify risk factors for high-risk situations and management of these patients. Attendees will also identify which head injuries are lower risk and may be managed with additional medical oversight on-site. Attendees will formulate an evidence based plan for head injury patients\, identify risks\, and minimize liability while ensuring best outcome for correctional patients. \n1.5 hours of CE for ACCME\, ANCC\, APA\, and General (CCHP and others). \nPresenters:\nP. Daniel McConnell\, MD\, a retired U.S. Army Captain\, sustained severe combat injuries in Afghanistan before transitioning to medicine. He earned his medical degree from East Tennessee State University and completed an Emergency Medicine residency at the University of South Florida’s Level 1 trauma center. Board-certified and a Fellow of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine\, he is one of the nation’s few upper-extremity amputee emergency physicians. He has served as Chief Medical Officer at a major FEMA/Military COVID response site and is currently the Medical Director at Pinellas County Jail\, while also practicing emergency medicine in Tampa Bay\, FL. \nSusan Minter\, DNP\, NP\, CCHP is a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner\, is dual-board-certified in adult and family practice and has extensive experience in primary care and correctional medicine. She works at a large county jail in Florida as the sole nighttime primary care provider on-site. Dr. Minter has served as an expert witness and provided extensive health record reviews for the legal community on the topics of nursing documentation and administration issues. She lectures frequently on multidisciplinary topics that impact the correctional community\, and her passion is teaching and mentoring the upcoming generation of nurses and providers on best practices to care for their patients. \nRegister/Learn More

SUMMARY:Webinar: Suicide Precautions and Prevention (Two Sessions)
DESCRIPTION:National Suicide Prevention Month Webinars \nPart 1: Wednesday\, September 17\, 2025 at 1:00PM-2:15PM CST \nPart 2: Friday\, September 26\, 2025 at 1:00PM-2:15PM CST \nOverreliance on restrictive suicide precautions in correctional settings has become a hidden crisis—one that can cause more harm than it prevents. Too often\, these extreme measures are used for individuals who are not at genuine risk\, creating conditions more severe than disciplinary segregation\, deterring disclosure of suicidal thoughts\, and sparking constitutional challenges. \nThis session unpacks the research on risk\, protective\, and environmental factors that drive self-harm in custody\, along with the legal and operational implications of current practices. Evidence-based behavioral health interventions\, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing\, will be presented as more humane\, effective alternatives that promote safety and treatment engagement. \nThrough real-world case examples\, attendees will explore the core components of a comprehensive suicide prevention program that safeguards lives while reducing unnecessary harm—transforming prevention from a purely security-driven response to one rooted in care\, dignity\, and results. \n$89 ($79 for CCHPs)\, includes access to the power point presentation\, the webinar recording and CE credit. 2.5 hours of CE for ACCME\, ANCC\, APA\, and General (CCHP and others). Must attend both parts to claim credit. \nPresenters: \nJoel T. Andrade\, PhD\, LICSW\, MSW\, CCHP-MH holds a PhD and MSW from the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work with a concentration in forensics. He has worked in correctional and forensic mental health since 1997. He has presented and published journal articles and book chapters on numerous correctional health care topics including psychopathy\, violence risk assessment\, self-injurious behavior\, suicide prevention and intervention\, designing alternatives to segregation units for correctional systems\, and gender dysphoria. Dr. Andrade is also the editor of The Handbook of Violence Risk Assessment: New Approaches for Mental Health Professionals. \nBenjamin Rice\, JD is a Senior Expert for Falcon\, LLC and the Founder of BTR Consulting\, LLC. He is an attorney who works primarily as a correctional consultant\, using his 20 years of experience in the field. Mr. Rice worked on behalf of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) as a Deputy Attorney General. In recognition of his outstanding work\, he was asked to join the Governor’s Office of California as Deputy Legal Affairs Secretary over public safety. He was later appointed general counsel of CDCR where he was responsible for roughly 20 class action cases. Following eight years in that role\, Mr. Rice was recruited by a large private health care company to become its chief counsel. As a consultant and expert\, Mr. Rice helps sheriffs enhance jail operations and meet class action mandates. Mr. Rice holds a Juris Doctor from Santa Clara University School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California at Los Angeles. \nRegister/Learn More

SUMMARY:FREE Webinar: Diagnosis and Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
DESCRIPTION:Made possible by an independent grant from Takeda Pharmaceuticals to the NCCHC Foundation \nInflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)—which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—affects more than 3 million Americans\, yet its burden in correctional settings often goes unrecognized. IBD is a complex\, progressive\, and systemic illness with potential complications far beyond the gut\, including joint pain\, skin disorders\, and liver disease. Left unmanaged\, it can significantly impact quality of life and contribute to costly hospitalizations. \nIncarcerated individuals with IBD face unique and often serious barriers to care\, such as limited access to specialists\, restrictive formularies\, and care disruptions during transfers or upon release. A recent study identified incarceration as an independent risk factor for IBD-related hospital readmissions—highlighting the urgent need for targeted interventions. \nThis webinar equips correctional health professionals with strategies to enhance early recognition of IBD flares and extra intestinal manifestations\, learn modern therapeutic endpoints\, deliver evidence-based care\, and ensure continuity of care through culturally competent practices\, telehealth\, transition and post-release planning. The session will include multiple case studies that include interventions for the incarcerated patient with IBD. \nWebinar Fee: \nFREE – registration required. Registration includes access to the PPT slide presentation\, webinar recording\, and CE credit – 1.5 hours for ACCME\, ANCC\, APA\, CCHP\, and general. \nPresenters \nBharati Kochar\, MD\, MS is a gastroenterologist and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) specialist at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston\, MA. She is also an Investigator at The Mongan Institute and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Kochar completed undergraduate and medical studies at Brown University\, training in Internal Medicine at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and a fellowship in gastroenterology and hepatology as well as advanced training in IBD at The University of North Carolina. She also obtained a Masters of Science in Clinical Research at UNC’s Gillings School of Global Public Health. Dr. Kochar’s research interests center around advancing care for those who are understudied and underrepresented with IBD. Her research is funded by the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation as well as the National Institute on Aging. \nLori E. Roscoe\, DNP\, PhD\, APRN\, ANP-C\, CCHP-RN is a nationally recognized expert in the field of correctional nursing and correctional health care and is a member of the NCCHC’s Multidisciplinary Education Committee.
