Medical-legal partnerships vary widely in how they are structured and use data to inform service delivery. Epidemiological data on certain chronic conditions' prevalence, the incidence of potentially preventable morbidity, and health-harming legal factors also influence approaches to care. This article draws on a pediatric example of how data-driven medical care complements data-driven legal care. This article also considers medical and public health ethical frameworks to guide protected information sharing, promote optimal service delivery, and achieve the best possible medical-legal outcomes.
医疗法律伙伴关系在结构和使用数据来提供服务方面差异很大。某些慢性疾病的流行率、潜在可预防的发病率以及危害健康的法律因素的流行病学数据也会影响护理方法。本文以儿科为例,说明了数据驱动的医疗如何补充数据驱动的法律护理。本文还考虑了医疗和公共卫生伦理框架,以指导受保护信息的共享,促进最佳服务提供,并实现最佳的医疗法律结果。
