SUMMARY:2017 Medical-Legal Partnership Summit
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Medical-Legal Partnership Summit\, headlined by keynote speaker Dr. Jeff Brenner from the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers\, will host leaders and practitioners from the public and private sectors for a national conversation about how to integrate health and legal services to better address the social determinants of health. \nNearly 300 hospitals and health centers across the United States already embed lawyers in their health care teams to tackle some of the most complex social problems impeding health and wellbeing\, to improve the quality of health care\, and to reduce health care costs. As the nation moves toward a system of value-based health care\, the Summit is a chance for those in the allied health\, health\, law\, and public health fields to advance this transformation by sharing research\, insights\, and best practices about where and how to most effectively integrate civil legal assistance with healthcare and community services to improve individual and population health\, and to transform the nation’s health care system to be one based on value and health equity. \nApril 5-7\, 2017\nNational Harbor\, Maryland\nThe Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center

It is appropriate for providers who specialize in addiction\, but primarily targets health system executives\, practitioners\, researchers and policy makers who are seeking a greater understanding of substance use disorders and the role health systems play within acute-care and community-based care settings. \nPublic and payment policies shape how these institution-based systems act and this will be carefully examined.
