Medical-Legal Partnerships (MLPs) in both urban and rural settings are adapting existing technology to screen for and respond to health-harming legal needs and to strengthen relationships between legal, health care, and public health partners. In this session, panelists from an MLP funded by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services will demonstrate how they use an online portal to accept referrals and requests for technical assistance from Community Health Workers and others. Panelists will also demonstrate how the Montana Health Justice Project and Iowa Health & Law Project integrate legal screening questions into the electronic health record systems of community health centers to identify health-harming legal needs and refer patients. All panelists will discuss how they analyze data and respond to trends in client needs.
