Information technology is critical to healthcare providers - not only to ensure high-quality
patient services but also to reduce administrative and clinical costs. Declining reimbursement, increasing
competition, and inefficient resource utilization are all affecting the viability of many healthcare
organizations. To improve patient care and make rapid and effective decisions, these organizations
need to streamline their business processes and deliver information more effectively.

Increasingly, healthcare organizations are turning to business process
management to increase the quality, consistency, and maintainability of
their increasingly complex, highly regulated business processes.
Information technology has become a critical component in improving
patient quality of care as well as in streamlining healthcare business
operations. |

Business process outsourcing is becoming less of a buzzword and more of
a reality. Quality customer service is more important than ever to
combat a rising surge of public demand for higher quality services at a
lower price. |
