Outsourcing Practice Processes

Abstract

In recent years we have witnessed the steady erosion of physicians’ incomes. Lately there has been a decrease in reimbursements and an increase in overhead costs, resulting in a further decrease in physicians’ incomes. Few options appear to be available, but raising our fees is not a viable alternative. However, we can identify ways to decrease overhead costs by becoming more efficient and productive without compromising patient care, patient satisfaction, online reputation management, and staff morale. This article discusses the concept of outsourcing various activities in the office, thus reducing overhead costs.
