Electronic Exchange of Data and “Closing The Loop”: An Iowa Case Study

Case Study
Written By NCMLP

Description

This case study provides a concrete example of how a medical-legal partnership (MLP) in Iowa set up electronic referrals in the electronic health record (EHR) as well as the ability to “close the loop” via electronic updates from the legal partner. Those updates are delivered directly to the EHR and describe whether the patient is connected with legal assistance and the legal outcomes of that assistance.
