Introduction

The healthcare industry is witnessing unprecedented churn and transformation, leading to a surge in adoption of IT and business process outsourcing. Driven by regulatory reforms, tenets of consumerization, market consolidation, and emergence of next-generation digital avenues, acceptance of outsourcing has accelerated in the space. The provider industry is coming to terms with the reforms mandate and tackling structural profitability issues. Therefore, market participants are actively looking at technology as a lever of operational efficiency and transformational change. As HIX, ACOs, payer-provider convergence, and the overall shift to value-based reimbursement get operationalized, providers need to chalk out an effective IT strategy.

With companies stepping up adoption of outsourced delivery, there is an uptick in demand for relevant research and market intelligence on demand and supply trends in healthcare outsourcing across each subvertical – payer, provider, and life sciences. The need is more pronounced for the vertical-specific IT outsourcing function, where business challenges are driving greater adoption. Everest Group’s healthcare outsourcing research program addresses this market requirement by analyzing outsourcing trends and service provider capabilities specific to ITO in the life sciences vertical.

In this report, we analyze the capabilities of 18 leading ITO service providers specific to the global healthcare provider sector. These service providers are mapped on the Everest Group PEAK Matrix, which is a composite index of a range of distinct metrics related to a service provider’s capability and market success.
