医疗-法律伙伴关系(MLP)是卫生系统和法律服务组织之间以证据为基础的跨学科合作，旨在解决低收入患者及其家人之间损害健康的法律需求。MLP提供民事法律服务，并围绕危害健康的需求进行宣传，例如住房不达标、粮食不安全、福利剥夺、教育和就业障碍、法律地位、监护权和子女抚养费。在儿科健康环境中广泛实施的研究支持MLP对儿童及其家庭的健康轨迹产生积极影响的能力。这篇手稿描述了我们的卫生系统的创新发展和在新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)实施第一个MLP的试点。我们分享我们的MLP整合战略、实践范围、筛选流程、工作流程和挑战。我们最后提出了这一计划的预期增长领域和未来方向，我们相信这将解决我们的患者在生命最初几周损害健康的法律需求。
Medical-Legal Partnerships (MLPs) are evidence-based, interdisciplinary collaborations between health systems and legal service organizations designed to address health-harming legal needs among low-income patients and their families. MLPs provide civil legal services and advocacy around health-harming needs, such as substandard housing, food insecurity, benefit denials, education and employment barriers, legal status, custody, and child support. Widely implemented in pediatric health settings, research supports MLPs ability to positively impact the health trajectories of children and their families. This manuscript describes our health system’s innovative development and pilot implementation of the first MLP in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We share our MLP integration strategies, scope of practice, screening processes, workflow, and challenges. We conclude with anticipated areas of growth and future direction for this program, which we believe will address health-harming legal needs for our patients in their earliest weeks of life.
