Getting Patient Consent for MLP Legal Services

Description

This sample job aid can help front-line healthcare staff understand what type of consent they need to obtain in different legal services and medical-legal partnership situations and where to document it.

It was created for the Kaiser Permanente Medical-Legal Partnership Initiative. Other medical-legal partnerships can use this job aid as a sample and a starting place for how to document and communicate this information between healthcare and legal partners. However, the specific information should be reviewed and edited locally as practices may be different.
