Let us begin with a simple thought—you want to get on a healthy diet. The first step would be to consult a dietician, who would create a diet plan for you. The second step would be to follow it. But why pay a dietician when you can manage your own weight? After all there are a myriad of tutorials and tips available on the internet. Here’s the catch—as humans, we have distinct body compositions with different needs; other than weight management issues, you may also suffer from eating and chronic disorders or simply lack the time to map the effectiveness of a diet plan. Here’s where a dietician can help; as trained professionals they are equipped with the right knowledge to help you achieve the best results. By hiring a dietician, you are essentially outsourcing the process of your weight management to a skilled professional. Similarly, your healthcare business can benefit from outsourcing operations to a reliable and skilled partner.
The primary focus of any healthcare organization is delivering excellent patient care. However, it’s common for in-house teams to get caught up in non-core business functions such as front-desk administration, billing and insurance claim settlements to name a few. Outsourcing healthcare business processes can help unburden your in-house staff, treat patients efficiently and improve their experience. It also helps tackle issues across the revenue cycle before they turn into cash flow problems.

What Are the Benefits of Outsourcing Your Operations?
There are several advantages to outsourcing healthcare business processes.
Reduced Costs
Let’s imagine you do the impractical and plan a diet regime without guidance. A month later and there are no tangible benefits. You plan again, wasting additional time, effort and money. You do not realize that even though all your vegetables are boiled, some are not good for you. And the cycle repeats.
Similarly, outsourcing is a practical alternative to manage processes when a business lacks the budget to train in-house professionals.
Outsourcing healthcare business processes to third-party agencies helps you avoid fixed costs such as hiring, training and retention because a lot of the workforce is outsourced and on standby to address your requirements. Outsourcing businesses typically work with highly skilled and credentialed professionals to help you stay ahead of competitors.
If you work with a trusted partner like Valerion Health, you can access solutions that are tailored to your needs. If your billing process is inconsistent, we can help resolve your medical billing concerns.
Avoiding Blunders
According to one report, hospitals in the US suffer an annual loss of $125 billion, primarily due to poor practices in medical billing. It is important to closely monitor medical billing operations and make sure every single penny is accounted for.
Yet another benefit of outsourcing your healthcare processes is that your provider is familiar with the latest coding sets and is capable of handling sensitive patient health information. For this reason, they can efficiently manage functions such as coding, invoicing, claim settlements, record indexing and accounts receivables.
Information Security
Outsourcing healthcare processes to a reliable partner can help your business stay up to date with evolving regulatory compliances and coding practices to leave no room for errors and claim frauds. Similar to how a dietician would help you stay on track.
Businesses across industries are prone to cyberattacks and data theft. The healthcare sector is no stranger to this phenomenon—in fact, it was the prime target of cyber attackers in the second quarter of 2017.
One of the core responsibilities of a healthcare organization is to not only handle patient data, but also protect it. However, it can be hard to manage large volumes of data in addition to core business functions. Outsourcing can effectively take the burden off your in-house team so they can focus on delivering quality patient care.
Outsourcing providers must adhere to healthcare compliances and regulations—Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and ISO 27001—to offer effective solutions.
Process outsourcing has become a core business strategy for healthcare organizations. Outsourcing partners are helping hospitals improve patient experience, increase operational capability and maintain revenue integrity.
It’s safe to say that an increasing number of healthcare organizations will soon shift to outsourcing to deliver quality patient care.
