ABDI: Community Based Organizations Contracting Toolkit
The Aging and Disability Business Institute has released part one of a new multi-part Contracting Toolkit for community-based organizations.
When health care entities contract with aging and disability community-based organizations (CBOs) to support the needs of older adults and persons with disabilities, they can help improve health outcomes and create cost savings. However, contracting with health care entities can prove challenging for many CBOs. As a result, the new multi-part Contracting Toolkit will help prepare CBOs for contracting work by exploring the critical elements of CBO-health care contracts.
The first part of the toolkit, Contracting Dos and Don’ts, provides an overview of basic elements and provisions CBOs may encounter as they pursue contracting arrangements with health care providers and payers. Contracting Dos and Don’ts is accompanied by a Lexicon of Contracting Terms, an index of common contracting terms to help CBOs navigate contract discussions. Together, these two publications cover the basics of health care contracting. The toolkit will also include two forthcoming publications: Insurance in Contracting, and Information Technology Requirements, Protocols and Standards for Contracting Resource Guide.
