Hospitals in the U.S. maintain a patient database used by insurance organisations for authentication. Database management and analysis are the key activities requiring professionals with adequate interpretation skills. Staff recruitment for such activities turns out to be a costly affair. Hence, hospitals find it easy to partner up with service providers located at distant locations.
However, risks associated with this business model are major restraints hampering overall growth of the healthcare BPO market. Data security is a growing concern owing to high risk of confidential patient data getting misused. Further, most outsourcing establishments are present in Asia Pacific. This makes coordinating in different time zones a challenge for both parties. Moreover, delays in rendering services on account of these factors are the reason why some organisations prefer in-house activities.
A remarkable rise in adoption of advanced technology in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors is anticipated to boost the growth of the global market for healthcare BPO in the forthcoming years. Hospitals have adopted enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems for crowd control and management. Digitization of various supportive medical activities is poised to bode well for demand in near future.
Moreover, government initiatives to reduce service cost is facilitating the need for outsourcing owing to its cost reduction ability. For instance, in 2012, the U.S Supreme Court upheld the main elements of President’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. As per this act, it is mandatory for all American citizens to buy a health coverage. Further, this act is aimed at expanding medical coverage and providing better care along with reduced wasteful spending. The mandate has forced hospitals to focus on their core functions and cut costs by choosing third party sub-contractors for non-core functions.
