Quotes by Lorry Schoenly (?)

“Many facilities use a written request process, but some settings now use a verbal voicemail or a kiosk system for requests. Whatever system is used, it should be confidential and only accessible by health care staff. In the simple paper request system, a locked dropbox is often available on every housing unit. Inmates obtain request slips from the housing officer, complete the information and submit to the dropbox where health care staff pick up requests on daily rounds. Access”
― Lorry Schoenly, The Wizard of Oz Guide to Correctional Nursing: This Isn't Kansas Anymore, Toto!
