  Business Process Outsourcing
IT is changing the way people do business, and increasingly healthcare organizations are looking at ways to cut down on costs and increase efficiency. Time, money, staffing shortages and process automation are prominent business drivers prompting healthcare organizations to consider Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO).

    Resistance to Outsourcing
    Organizational resistance has been noted as the single biggest impediment to outsourcing, not only because of skepticism about whether it can work but also due to the resulting uncertainty and the added perception that outsourcing leads to job loss.

    When done right, outsourcing results in little or no job loss. Changes are required in the ranks of the technical personnel who can either be transferred to the outsourcing company or need to be replaced, most likely due to the company's technology adoption initiatives where some skills become obsolete.

    Middle management has several years of accumulated business expertise and has operational oversight responsibility even after outsourcing. Since they no longer have to deal with day-to-day technical issues at a detailed level, it frees up time to interact with business units as well as analyze how the increased technical resources can be used to impact business positively.

    THE BOTTOM-LINE
    Outsourcing in the best sense allows companies to operate at a higher level of revenue without having to see a corresponding increase in operating costs.
