Abstract: 

An expert panel was convened to apply patient safety principles to the correctional health care setting. Proposed standards for patient safety were developed based on guidelines already published by nationally recognized safety groups.These proposed standards provide a foundation for building a solid patient safety program. Correctional nurses are involved in the assimilation and implementation of all patient safety standards.
