Over a three-year period, an expanded EHR supported a transition to a population health model within a jail, enabled improvements in clinical practice, enhanced patients and clinician experience, and supported advancing health equity in a vulnerable population. The Quintuple Aim within correctional health care necessitates a strong technological infrastructure. This presentation discusses how the EHR provides an infrastructure that supports patient- and population-centered quality improvement in a jail.
