Global Healthcare Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Market is valued at approximately USD 29.17 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 10.87% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Healthcare BPO involves contracting out non-core administrative and operational functions of a healthcare organization to external service providers. This enables healthcare providers to concentrate on patient care while enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving data management through specialized expertise. The market growth is driven by efforts to lower operational expenses, the rise of BPO, and a skilled workforce. Healthcare BPO covers functions like finance, HR, and technical support to boost efficiency and cut costs. Additional growth drivers include telehealth support, remote patient monitoring, telemedicine solutions, transcription services, medical documentation, customer interactions, and IT services, which collectively enhance access to healthcare.
The healthcare BPO market is a significant segment in the global BPO industry, with healthcare companies increasingly turning to these services to streamline operations and improve patient care. Offerings include revenue cycle management, medical coding and billing, patient engagement, and analytics. These services help healthcare organizations reduce costs, increase efficiency, and enhance the overall patient experience. The market is supported by the increasing use of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, which expand the scope of these services, making them more effective and efficient. However, data breaches pose a significant challenge to market growth, as the increase in cyberattacks globally results in the loss of sensitive patient information in healthcare organizations.
North America is estimated to dominate to the growth of the global market during 2023. This growth is driven by improvements in healthcare infrastructure, increased healthcare expenditure, and favorable reimbursements. Offshore outsourcing is common for activities such as finance and accounting, customer care services, and provider services.
