2017 Florida Nurses Association The Palm Beach Post has reported that since the State of Florida transitioned all prison healthcare services to private, for provide healthcare corporations the death rate of inmates has risen from 12.8% to 57%, with 30 inmates dying in seven months. 1 Of those prison deaths reported Illness related deaths accounted for the majority (88%) of deaths in state prisons. 2 The data available on the health of prisoners indicates that the quality of health is not optimal and does not parallel the health of the general population, 4 and The correlation between transition of prison healthcare service provider and increased morbidity and mortality within the prison health system suggests that inadequate or inappropriate healthcare services are being provided to prisoners within the new prison healthcare systems as a result of policy changes by prison healthcare providers, and Nurses are subject to moral distress due the ethical conflict created by dual loyalty to the patient while also being required to fulfill the requirements of the employer, and Consistent with the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses 2015 Article 3.5, 8 “Nurses must be alert to, and must take appropriate action in ALL instances of incompetent, unethical, illegal or impaired practice or actions the place the rights or best interests of the patient in jeopardy.” Therefore, be it resolved, The Florida Nurses Association will continue to advocate for appropriate health care for those inmates in the prison system. This will include, but not be limited to: 1. Promoting legislative action to ensure proper healthcare provision, and 2. Coordinating efforts with other entities working to ensure safe and appropriate prison healthcare delivery. And it be Further Resolved, The Florida Nurses Association will continue to educate the community regarding: 1. Ethical and legal standards regarding prisoner healthcare; 2. Existing prison healthcare systems; 3. Negative prisoner healthcare outcome date, 4. Ethical and legal obligations of the state to provide all prisoners with adequate and appropriate health care services. Reference 1. FNA Position Statement to the ANA, 2015 ANA Membership Assembly 2.
