No health without access: using a retrospective cohort to model a care continuum for people released from prison at an urban, safety net health system.
This retrospective cohort study of persons released from correctional facilities examined healthcare utilization by merging records from Denver Health (DH), an urban safety-net healthcare system, and the Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC), for people released from January 1 to June 30, 2021. The study population was either 1) released to the Denver metro area (Denver and its five neighboring counties); or (2 assigned to the DH Regional Accountable Entity; or (3 assigned to the DH medical home based on Colorado Department of Healthcare Policy and Financing attribution methods. From January to June 2021 3242 people were released from CDOC and 2848 were included in the data exchange. 905 individuals of the total 2848 were released to the Denver metro area or attributed to DH. In the study population over three-fourths (78.1%) had a chronic medical or psychological condition. Within the first 6 months of release, 31.1% utilized any health service, 24.5% utilized at least one outpatient service, and 17.1% utilized outpatient services two or more times. Within the first 30 days of release 10.1% utilized outpatient services.
