Contracting Dos and Don'ts is accompanied by A Lexicon of Contracting Terms<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA2MDkuMjI2NjMzMzEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hZ2luZ2FuZGRpc2FiaWxpdHlidXNpbmVzc2luc3RpdHV0ZS5vcmcvd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMjAvMDYvNi0xLUFEQkktUkctQ29udHJhY3RpbmctVGVybXMucGRmIn0.NZ5PWTNp84gXThcHaIdZ8zaCVPWSwrJ9mbXxsXIPZFc/br/79629626811-l>, an index of common contracting terms that will help CBOs navigate contract discussions. Together, these two publications cover the basics of health care contracting, helping an organization identify and understand the fundamentals of contract work.

In addition to Contracting Dos and Don'ts and A Lexicon of Contracting Terms, the Contracting Toolkit will include the forthcoming Insurance in Contracting Resource Guide and the Information Technology Requirements, Protocols and Standards for Contracting Resource Guide.
