A cost benefit analysis of outsourced laboratory services.

As healthcare moves toward increased capitation, hospital administrators must be aware of all costs associated with patient services. This article describes the cost benefit analysis process used by northern Indiana hospital consumers during 1994-1995 to evaluate a local laboratory service outsource provider, South Bend Medical Foundation (SBMF). In an effort to meet the best interests of the community at large, three competing hospitals, medical leadership, and the local outsource provider joined forces to ensure that cost effective quality services would be provided. Laboratory utilization patterns for common DRGs were also analyzed. The team created a reconfiguration analysis to help develop benchmark figures for consideration in future contract negotiations.

Making a case for the CDE's role in outsourcing diabetes services to a freestanding outpatient diabetes disease state management center.

Outsourcing of diabetes disease state management services by MCOs is a good thing for enrollees with diabetes. It is a good mechanism for MCOs that are striving to cut the costs of diabetes care, and it is a trend that the authors expect to see continue in an accelerated way, given the new diagnostic guidelines released by the American Diabetes Association and the epidemic of diabetes among older persons. Through a partnership with a quality, freestanding, outpatient diabetes disease state management center staffed by CDEs, MCOs with a vision can expect to profit now and pay less later for devastating, expensive diabetes complications that lead to increased hospitalizations.

Advantages of outsourcing the transfusion service.

Pressures to reduce costs are forcing hospitals to examine alternative delivery systems for transfusion services. An outsourcing arrangement for the transfusion service can be an attractive option, providing benefits not only in terms of economics, but also in terms of quality and medical support. Successful centralized testing models in Pittsburgh and Seattle have demonstrated the feasibility of this approach. When properly implemented, an outsourcing arrangement for transfusion services can improve patient care and reduce costs.

Outsourcing in hospital services.

In summary we may conclude that in the outsourcing strategy we have many opportunities to improve the hospital's general services, reduce costs, update equipment and installations, without using the hospital's limited resources mainly devoted to healthcare, which is its actual core business. If we do not choose this direction, we risk descending a dangerous slope of inefficient and poor services. Outsourcing, extended to the three systems described with careful partner selection and good control of its execution, will be a positive answer and solution.
