Programs that integrate legal services into healthcare delivery, known as medical-legal partnerships, are an innovative intervention that health systems employ to address social and environmental issues facing patients. Learning Objectives: (1) describe what medical-legal partnerships are and how they can address health-related social needs to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities for older adults; (2) discuss the disconnect between advance care planning conducted by legal professionals and medical professionals, and identify ways to improve collaboration between these fields; (3) determine how Geriatric Medicine professional participation in a multidisciplinary team may result in improved secondary prevention of elder mistreatment through use of practical interventions; (4) model how different kinds of multidisciplinary partnerships and collaborations can create synergy to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of care delivery.
