Five outsourcing methodology differentiators
Not all health care outsourcing service providers are equal.
In health care, workforce and operational challenges continue to evolve. Many leaders in health systems, hospitals, physician groups and health plans find value in outsourced service partner relationships.
How do you select an outsourcing vendor?
Evaluating outsourcing vendors can be a daunting task. There are evolving methodologies to differentiate the leaders in delivering health care services. Conventional models only categorize vendors in three ways: strategic partners, tier-two providers and staffing groups.
Everest Group recommends considering these five factors (SLOTS) when making your selection, to ensure your partner brings the talent and operational expertise your organization needs:
- Staffing
- Legacy aggregators
- Orchestrators
- Transformational partners
- Specialists
