We’re reducing our waiting lists by outsourcing to private hospitals. Why should we insource instead?
Insourcing gives your hospital, and the public, the best value for money. Instead of paying higher costs for a private facility to help with your lists, you’re using your own – already funded for – empty operation theatres.
It often means patients are treated faster and closer to home too.
How much does medical insourcing cost?
When you insource with
- Remuneration, travel and accommodation for each team member
- A cost for our time in finding the team you need.
