Developing Networks of CBOs for Strategic Healthcare Partnerships
M4: Learning Lab: Developing Networks of CBOs for Strategic Healthcare Partnerships
In this presentation, the audience will learn about the creation of CommunityCare Link (CCL), a network of multiple NYC Aging funded aging-focused community-based organizations (CBOs) created to address social and economic determinants of health by contracting with health partners and connecting socially isolated older adults to necessary health and social services to help them age in place. This presentation will detail what infrastructure and policies aging service providers need to enter into contractual relationships with healthcare providers and ensure older adults access care.
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify what infrastructure and policies aging service providers need to develop mutually beneficial programs and enter into paid contractual relationships with healthcare providers/plans
- Describe how to engage a hard-to-reach, socially isolated, and/or unresponsive population and connect them to health and social services to help them age in place
- Demonstrate ability to implement a similar network, as well as refine, expand, and replicate similar programs.
