CORRECTIONAL HEALTHCARE CHART AUDITS

The decree names the measure. The chart either shows it or it doesn't.

Correctional healthcare chart audit services test sampled charts against the performance measures a consent decree enumerates, citing the page that satisfies each measure or flagging its absence. The monitor reports compliance to the court; the underlying chart review arrives already done and checkable.

The decree is a public document. So is the monitor's report.

We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. Under a consent decree, both are already on the docket.

The standard and the referee
The rulebook
  • The consent decree or settlement agreement itself, with its enumerated performance measures and compliance thresholds
  • The monitor's own audit methodology and sampling plan, filed with the court
  • NCCHC or ACA standards, where the decree incorporates them by reference
  • The system's own health services policies, which the decree usually requires be followed as written
The referee
  • The court-appointed monitor, whose periodic reports state the compliance rating for each measure
  • The federal district court retaining jurisdiction, which decides termination or extension
  • Plaintiffs' counsel, who test the monitor's findings and can move to enforce

How it works

3 steps between the sample and the report.

01

Send the sampled charts

The charts drawn under the monitor's sampling plan — sick call requests, encounters, medication records, referrals — in any format.

02

We return the audit, page-cited

Every decree measure tested chart by chart, with the page satisfying it cited, and non-compliance recorded plainly where the chart doesn't meet the measure.

03

The monitor rates and reports

Compliance ratings and the report to the court are the monitor's. We never rate compliance, characterize a system, or recommend a finding.

The boundary, in writing

A chart audit, not a compliance rating.

We test each sampled chart against the measures the decree enumerates and cite the page that satisfies each one, or record that nothing does. We do not rate compliance, aggregate a finding, characterize the system's performance, or recommend what the court should do. Those belong to the monitor.

The audit records non-compliance as plainly as compliance. An audit that reads charitably is worth nothing to a monitor whose report is tested by plaintiffs' counsel and ruled on by a federal judge.

HIPAA, under a signed BAA

Every file is handled under our Business Associate Agreement, from the first byte.

Never trains a model

Your records are never used to train any AI model — ours or anyone else's.

Every line cited

If we can't cite it, we don't say it. Every sentence links to its source page.

Powered by the platform

4 capabilities behind every measure audit.

The measure audit is 1 deliverable of the same platform that reads, sorts, and cites the whole record.

Medical Records OCR

Every chart read in full — sick call slips, encounter notes, medication administration records, handwritten logs — nothing skipped, nothing guessed.

IN ACTION · 342 pp / 2 packets → 27 documents, read in full

Medical Chronology

Each patient's course builds itself into a timeline, so a timeliness measure is computed from documented dates rather than eyeballed.

IN ACTION · request → encounter → follow-up, 1 continuous timeline

Verifiable AI Citations

If we can't cite it, we don't say it. Every measure tested links to the page that satisfies it, or is recorded as unmet.

IN ACTION · every measure → cited 100%

FAQ

Correctional healthcare audits, answered.

No. We test each sampled chart against the enumerated measures and cite what satisfies them. Rating compliance, aggregating findings, and reporting to the court are the monitor's function under the decree.

Yes. The deliverable is the same either way: a page-cited chart-by-chart test against the measures the decree names. A system that audits itself against the same measures before the monitor does is a system that knows where it stands.

Dates come from the documents themselves — the request, the encounter, the referral, the follow-up — and the interval is computed and cited. Where a date is missing or illegible, that's recorded rather than estimated.

No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have — review starts in minutes from upload. Retrieval vendors take days; you can keep yours and still cut the review to minutes.

No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
