Global Healthcare BPO Market By Dynamics

Healthcare BPO Market Key Drivers:

  • Growing medical expenses

Hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers are under tremendous pressure to reduce costs and preserve their financial stability as healthcare costs continue to rise. BPO providers offer a solution by providing large scale, specialized knowledge, and improved workflows that enables them to operate at low prices. In addition, BPO providers often have invested in sophisticated technology for managing administrative tasks, eliminating the need for healthcare organizations to make similar investments.

  • Rising Complexity in health care operations

The healthcare sector has become more complicated due to changing laws, new technology, and difficulties in data management. Healthcare firms may traverse these difficulties and stay up to date with industry best practices with the assistance of BPO providers who have experience with healthcare operations, technology, and compliance.

  • Emphasis on Core Activities

Healthcare providers can focus on their main skill of providing patients with high-quality medical treatment by outsourcing non-core functions. Healthcare businesses can increase efficiency, streamline operations, and reallocate resources to primary patient care activities by outsourcing administrative and support responsibilities such as medical coding, billing, claims processing, and back-office operations.

Healthcare BPO Market Restrains:

  • Concerns about Data Security and Privacy

When healthcare activities are outsourced, patient data is shared with outside business process outsourcing (BPO) companies. This raises issues about data breaches, illegal access, and privacy legislation compliance. Although it can be difficult, ensuring compliance with laws like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is essential.

  • Difficulties in Regulatory Compliance

Many rules apply to the healthcare industry, and adherence to these regulations is essential. Healthcare standards, which can be complicated and varies by location, must be followed by outsourcing partners. Compliance with data transfer regulations becomes problematic for international healthcare firms or those who outsource to foreign partners. Cross-border data transfer is subject to unique regulations in some areas, and BPO companies have to work around these limitations to maintain smooth operations.

Recent Development:

  • In November 2023, Accenture (Ireland) procured ConcentricLife (US), a healthcare marketing firm, to help Life Sciences companies craft the optimal brand experience for their customers across the course of their health journey. This acquisition furthers Accenture Song's continuous dedication to offer end-to-end solutions for its Life Sciences clients via relevant communications and experiences that are customized to the ever-evolving needs of patients and healthcare professionals.
  • In October 2022, Performant Healthcare Solutions, a top supplier of technology-enabled eligibility, payment integrity, and related analytics services, entered into a new strategic collaboration with Priority Health in order to offer a tailored, end-to-end solution that addresses every facet of payment integrity.
  • In September 2022, Surgical Solutions and Conductive secured a contract for surgical services to be outsourced. With this new arrangement, Conductive members can benefit from the integrated, on-site surgical support pricing and terms outlined in the conductive arrangement.
