The Partnership, Aging and Disability Institute, and Camden Coalition hosted a webinar event that provided recommendations on how to develop an effective scope of work based on insights from healthcare organizations and CBOs with extensive cross-sector contracting experience.
Healthcare entities and community care providers are increasingly recognizing the importance of partnerships among historically siloed sectors to address upstream drivers of health. While the number of community-based organizations (CBOs) and community care hubs (CCHs) pursuing contracting relationships with healthcare organizations is increasing, CBOs and CCHs can experience challenges entering into contracting arrangements with the healthcare sector.
The Partnership to Align Community Care, Aging and Disability Institute, and Camden Coalition hosted a webinar event that featured a new resource from a four-part toolkit, Healthcare Guide to Contracting with CBOs, and provided recommendations on how to develop an effective scope of work based on insights from healthcare organizations and CBOs with extensive cross-sector contracting experience.
Attendees received guidance on core activities to be negotiated in healthcare-CBO contracts, including the who, what, and how of the relationship, and learned about strategies to create shared expectations and co-design efficient workflows that can be successfully implemented.
