This sample job aid can help front-line healthcare staff understand what type of consent they need to obtain in different medical-legal partnership situations and where to document it.

It was created as part of Kaiser Permanente’s Health, Housing, and Justice: Medical-Legal Partnership Initiative in partnership with the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership and HealthBegins. Other medical-legal partnerships can use this job aid as a sample and a starting place for how to document and communicate this information between healthcare and legal partners. However, the specific information should be reviewed and edited locally as practices may be different.
