There are many reasons for outsourcing medical information and therefore many different factors to consider that will ensure the delivery of a successful customer focused, harmonised service. Investing time in planning the service together with the vendor, and creating a true partnership, ensures a service tailored to the business needs in a compliant framework. We will look at several models of outsourcing and how clear planning, flexibility and monitoring ensures success. Key Learning objectives: Participants will better understand: 1) What a good partnership with an outsourcing vendor look like. 2) What criteria are useful when selecting a vendor 3) The importance of KPIs to drive performance 4) How the budget and structure of the model affects success.
