Potential Savings Will Discourage Potential Early Adopters Of Offshore Outsourcing Within The Private Healthcare Sector

Research and Markets has announced the addition of 'eHealth - Unlocking The Outsourced Healthcare Market' to their offering.

(PRWEB) October 25, 2004 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c7874) has announced the addition of 'eHealth - Unlocking The Outsourced Healthcare Market' to their offering.

While clinicians fear outsourcing will lead to a loss of skills within the UK, This report suggests cost savings would free up resources and allow the NHS to concentrate on core competencies such as surgery. At present surgery is being outsourced from overseas as patients arrange their own operations in other European countries.

'eHealth - Unlocking The Outsourced Healthcare Market' warns outsourcing companies not to play down the low cost of their services in the hope of overcoming resistance from clinicians. Claims by outsourcing providers that they are merely exploiting their geographic location to provide services out of UK working hours are unlikely to placate the fears of health workers who are well aware of the impact of outsourcing on the IT sector. At the same time understating potential savings will discourage potential early adopters of offshore outsourcing within the private healthcare sector.
