In/Outsourcing Feasibility and Planning

Outsourcing has been an approach healthcare organizations have considered and implemented for several years.

There are still some situations where IT outsourcing makes sense — in particular, hardware and data centers — because of the service levels available through a third party vs. the costs of supporting those same service levels internally. In other cases, with the rising labor costs overseas compared to the leveling of costs in the U.S., it makes sense to consider insourcing to reduce risk and better control service levels, implementation timelines, and quality of deliverables.

Aspen is experienced in establishing healthcare IT outsourcing arrangements where it makes sense and in bringing operations back in house as well. We can help with pro-forma modeling of the costs and benefits of insourcing or outsourcing as well as contracting and transitioning to the new sourcing arrangement.
