Building a Network Lead Entity: Practical Lessons from Florida
Join ElderSource, a AAA in northeastern Florida, as they share their journey to establish a network lead entity (NLE) for their state and facilitate a brief discussion to address potential challenges you may face if building an NLE. The NLE will present a single point of contact for developing contracts with commercial health care payers and providers to deliver key services related to social determinants of health. Presenters will share the unique needs for building an NLE in Florida, including regulatory challenges, engaging a diverse set of stakeholders, and rallying providers to create a statewide network. The workshop will challenge attendees to identify creative solutions to potential challenges AAAs face when designing and building an NLE framework.
