After years of shipping data-processing, accounting and other
back-office work abroad, some healthcare companies are starting to shift
clinical services and decision-making on medical care overseas,
primarily to India and the Philippines.
Some of the jobs being sent abroad include so-called pre-service nursing, where nurses at insurance firms, for example, help assess patient needs and determine treatment methods.
Outsourcing such tasks goes beyond earlier steps by healthcare firms to
farm out reading of X-rays and other diagnostic tests to health
professionals overseas. Those previous efforts were often done out of
necessity, to meet overnight demands, for instance.

All that healthcare data being transmitted to foreign countries...that may not regulations as strict as ours.
ReplyDeleteNext, we'll all be dealing with people on the phone with English as an add-on language...recall the IT Help Desk experiences!
The insurance companies will be able to save money by not providing these folks with access to ObamaCare - and since it is a contract arrangement - don't have to pay the fine either.
The hits just keep rolling in!
Thank you dear Obama! Wish all the ones who voted for this loser back four years ago would wake up this time around but hate to say it but there are so many out there who plan to vote for him once again. Guess they just love being controlled by the government.
