Wonder if healthcare outsourcing to the Philippines is right for you, or which healthcare BPO your organization should work with? Here’s what you need to know…


The healthcare sector is facing a new set of challenges. As life expectancy climbs, demand for treatment of diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease continues to rise, as does the expectation for delivery of patient-centered care and personalized medicine.

According to Deloitte, global healthcare spending is projected to reach $10.059 trillion in 20221.

The sector is also diversifying its operations, partnering with retail, banking and tech companies to work on data and digital platform projects, and non-traditional players are entering the market, increasing competition for the healthcare dollar.

Consumers are changing too. Greater access to information and choice brings higher expectations around service delivery and cost. And governments, often the largest stakeholders in healthcare, are looking to provide accessible, high quality, patient-centered care that is also affordable.

Meanwhile, financial and regulatory environments are in constant flux. Healthcare providers are facing greater competition, increased compliance obligations, and the challenge of averting cybersecurity breaches, while operating in an environment of increasing global financial instability.

The sector is facing very real challenges. There’s greater expenditure on healthcare, but provision is also more expensive and requires greater investment in areas that weren’t a factor in previous decades. Labor costs are increasing, healthcare professionals are more difficult to recruit, and digital innovation requires healthcare providers to possess an entirely different skill set.

Why is healthcare outsourcing to the Philippines a good idea?

Offshoring works well for the healthcare sector because many of the roles that need to be filled have long been performed by offshore teams. There’s already a talent pool available to provide you with the expertise you’re looking for in cybersecurity, digital innovation and design, customer service, compliance, data management, payroll, bookings and administration. You can find a specialist healthcare BPO in the Philippines who can set up your offshore team quickly with minimal fuss.

Furthermore:

  • Most non-clinical roles don’t have to be performed onsite.
  • Consumers want the capacity to book appointments and make certain inquiries outside office hours. Offshoring customer service gives you the capacity to provide longer hours of service within existing budgets.
  • Compliance and regulation are labor-intensive tasks that involve extensive training and a specialized skill set. Offshore teams are structured to handle exactly this kind of challenge, drawing from a well-educated talent pool at a labor cost saving of up to 70%.

Healthcare outsourcing to the Philippines just makes good business sense.
