摘要：
Despite a growing aging population in the correctional system, older persons are often released from jail unprepared for the transition to the free world and unable to access necessary medications. This article proposes a discharge form (transitional care tool) that may improve the medical care provided to older inmates upon release from jail, especially regarding their compliance with prescribed medications. The authors developed their tool in a three-step process: (1) review concerns raised in pertinent correctional medical literature, (2) expert panel determination of the relative importance for each of the concerns, and (3) assessment of the tool's likely efficacy as viewed by a focus group familiar with transitions to the free world after incarceration. Further research is required to validate the tool in the field.
