Operationalizing contracts: Improving contracting implementation and collaboration

The Partnership, Aging and Disability Institute, and Camden Coalition hosted a webinar event that provided insight on how payers can improve collaboration with CBOs and strategies to anticipate, avoid, and respond to common challenges that arise when CBOs, CCHs, and payers set out to work together.

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 insight on how payers can improve collaboration with CBOs and strategies to anticipate, avoid, and respond to common challenges that arise when CBOs, CCHs, and payers set out to work together.

Attendees received guidance on and examples of implementing successful partnerships between healthcare organizations and CBOs/CCHs and perspective from CBO and healthcare leaders highlighting leading practices from community and health care partners that have effectively contracted to address upstream drivers of health for multiple populations.
