NJHA's COMPASS - Contract Optimization Manual Payer Agreement Strategies and Standards – delivers a practical framework for managed care contracting across organizations. It provides both structure and strategy that supports contract readiness, negotiation and long-term performance maintenance. In addition to strategic guidance, COMPASS includes practical tools to support implementation, including structured checklists, language review frameworks, benchmarking considerations and policy comparison prompts designed to standardize internal review. Accompanying Excel worksheets allow hospitals to analyze market share, payer mix, service line exposure, utilization trends and contract performance indicators in an easy-to-use format. Together, these tools promote consistency, improve internal communication and support data-informed decision-making throughout the contract lifecycle.
