This seminar will introduce the 2026 Standards for Health Services, NCCHC’s revised and updated recommendations for managing medical and mental health care delivery in jails and prisons. The new Standards are scheduled for publication in August 2025. The course will highlight new requirements and content and share insights into the reasoning behind the changes. Whether or not your facility is accredited (or plans to be), this practical seminar will provide guidance on implementing an effective correctional health care system and demonstrating compliance with the Standards. The seminar includes a copy of the 2026 Standards (jail or prison—$110 value) and free access to an on-demand video preparation course for the CCHP exam. 7 CE credits

The CCHP exam will be updated six months after the release of the 2026 Standards. The November 2 exam will reference the 2018 Standards.
