Agency: Corrections Line Item: Department Medical Services Function The Utah Department of Corrections' Division of Clinical Services provides medical care for incarcerated inmates in secure facilities that are owned, operated or contracted by the State. Inmates are treated by UDC doctors, nurses, dentists and aides, as well as through contracts with private health care providers such as the University of Utah Medical Center. Some of the more specialized medical treatment provided to inmates are conducted through telemedicine and telepsychiatry services. UDC is required by federal law to provide medical, dental and mental health care to those incarcerated by the state. The Bureau of Clinical Services provides health care at the Draper prison. Medical services at other facilities are provided through contractual arrangements. Health care provided at the Gunnison facility is reflected in the Gunnison budget. The Bureau provides mental health services and a comprehensive array of treatment alternatives to offenders who are mentally ill or suffering from emotional problems. Services include crisis intervention, acute care, residential, and outpatient services. The Bureau is accredited by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care.
