One of the strengths of the country in providing health information management (HIM) services lies in its large pool of healthcare professionals. International firm Everest Group reports that the country has around 200,000 nurses in total. These nurses come with an educational background that is largely patterned after that in the US, and have sufficient medical knowledge to work in the healthcare BPO as a career alternative.
The Philippines has unique advantages in terms of its culture, labor market, and people. These assets are harnessed by the local industry to seize global opportunities in the healthcare sector and attract international clients who wish to cut healthcare costs and provide superior healthcare services. Consequently, there is promising projections for local outsourcing, as it is expected to grow into a $1-billion industry by 2016.
