Healthcare entities and social services providers are increasingly recognizing the importance of partnerships among historically siloed sectors to address health-related social needs (HRSNs). 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 Social Care, the Aging and Disability Business Institute, and Camden Coalition created a Healthcare Guide to Contracting with CBOs. This toolkit offers a deep dive into leading contracting practices to effectively and efficiently address HRSNs. Each module focuses on the essential elements of contracting between health care and community partners and features leading practices from the field.
