NCMLP Performance Measures Handbook
Description
The National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership (NCMLP) is engaged in efforts to develop, implement, and test medical-legal partnership (MLP) performance measures in order to:
Assess and evaluate the systems that drive the MLP approach to healthcare delivery and their impact;
Develop a set of best practices for the field regarding data collection and reporting on MLP-related measures; and
Engage in meaningful process and quality improvement at the local and national MLP levels.
As part of these efforts, NCMLP developed an initial set of seven performance measures. This handbook offers a detailed accounting of these seven measures and how to use them. These measures were identified through a combination of the social determinants of health framework, interviews with individual MLP programs, and a survey of the existing literature. The measures are currently being tested in the field. The measures cover MLP training, screening, referrals, and outcomes.
