How Legal Services Help the Health Care System Address Social Needs: An I-HELP™ Messaging Chart
Description
Legal expertise and services can play a critical role in helping the healthcare system address the root cause of some of the most challenging problems related to health and healthcare utilization. This chart shows some of the most common social problems faced by vulnerable communities, and how legal expertise and services can help mitigate their negative impact on health and health care. It can be used as a training tool and also to help communicate the value of an MLP. It is organized by the I-HELP™ acronym developed by the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership to describe common health-related social and legal needs, and it was adopted from the messaging guide, Framing Legal Care as Health Care.
