About this file

This document is Appendix B of Bid Solicitation 25DPP01135 issued by the New Jersey State Parole Board. It establishes a Mental Health Evaluation and Risk Assessment Surveillance Tool designed to provide quality control oversight of mental health evaluations conducted on inmates under parole board review.

The surveillance tool functions as a standardized checklist containing 16 evaluation criteria that a Quality Control Committee member uses to review mental health evaluation reports. The criteria assess whether evaluations include comprehensive file reviews, analysis of current offenses and criminal backgrounds, substance abuse assessments, mental health functioning evaluations, independent functioning assessments, educational and employment background reviews, family and marital history assessments, risk assessment scale integration, violent behavior likelihood assessments, rehabilitation recommendations, treatment cooperation documentation, parole success prognosis, parole supervision recommendations, comprehensive needs assessments, and psychological test result interpretation where applicable. Each criterion is scored as Yes, No, or with comments, and the reviewing committee member calculates a final quality score expressed as a percentage of affirmative responses divided by total scored items. The tool includes fields for documenting the evaluator's name, evaluation date, inmate reference, committee member name, review date, and the final quality control score.
