  • What is a Medical-Legal Partnership | MLP-Illinois

    WHAT IS A MEDICAL-LEGAL PARTNERSHIP? Addressing Health-Harming Legal Needs & Reinforcing the Commitment to Health Equity A Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP) is the integration of medical and legal professionals who work together to improve patient experiences and outcomes. In a Medical-Legal Partnership, medical providers and legal aid lawyers work to address the various medical and legal health needs of patients. ASOCIACIONES MÉDICO-LEGALES HOY En la actualidad, el Centro Nacional de Asociaciones Médico-Legales (NCMLP) guía "los esfuerzos de educación, investigación y asistencia técnica" para ayudar a las organizaciones de salud a aprovechar los servicios legales civiles disponibles. Actualmente, las asociaciones médico-legales operan en 46 estados y contando. En 2016, 75,000 pacientes con problemas legales que dañaban su salud recibieron ayuda de asociaciones médico-legales en su estado. En 2016, se capacitó a 11,000 profesionales de la salud para reconocer y evaluar a los pacientes en busca de necesidades legales perjudiciales para la salud. En una encuesta de 2016 realizada por NCMLP, de organizaciones de atención médica que informaron los beneficios de los servicios MLP: 86% informó mejores resultados de salud para los pacientes 64% informó un mejor cumplimiento del paciente con el tratamiento médico El 38% informó una capacidad mejorada para desempeñarse "en la parte superior de su licencia" ( Centro Nacional de Asociaciones Médico-Legales ) HISTORIA DE ASOCIACIONES MÉDICO-LEGALES El primer caso registrado de una asociación médico-legal formada ocurrió en 1993 entre Boston Medical Center (BMC) y Greater Boston Legal Services. Boston Medical Center vio constantemente casos en los que los pacientes pediátricos con asma regresaban repetidamente al hospital. Al investigar la causa, el equipo de BMC descubrió que el problema subyacente involucraba edificios de apartamentos enmohecidos y propietarios que se negaban a cumplir con los códigos sanitarios. BMC se comunicó con los Servicios Legales de Greater Boston para obtener ayuda para resolver este problema legal. Avance rápido hasta 2001 , se produjo un movimiento de base de asociaciones médico-legales debido a un artículo del New York Times sobre la asociación de BMC. A medida que aumentaba el número de asociaciones médico-legales, surgió la necesidad de un esfuerzo coordinado de recursos. Para llenar este vacío, en 2006 se fundó el Centro Nacional de Asociaciones Médico-Legales (NCMLP) .
