EVALUATION AND DIAGNOSIS

At ICPALA, we recognize the value of both clinical processes aimed at prisoners in order to collect and analyze their physical and mental information, as well as to determine a treatment plan to restore health. They are basic tools to determine strengths, weaknesses and areas in the life of prisoners that may require professional attention from prison technicians. Assessment tests determine the level of a measurable phenomenon and can help in the diagnosis in cases where a specific threshold for intervention is not needed. Thus, clinical diagnosis is the procedure by which the health professional identifies a disease or the patient's condition with the help of various tools that allow defining their clinical picture and the level of health intervention for the restoration of an individual.
