Background: Outsourcing is a common practice among both private and public sector organizations. Materials and methods: A cross sectional study was carried out to study the status of outsourcing of services in government teaching hospitals of India. For this purpose, the administrators (medical superintendents) of Govt. teaching hospitals were subjected to a questionnaire after properly being identified by the researcher by a covering letter written by principal investigator. The questionnaire was adopted from the original research work of Kantar 1984, Bernstein 1991, Mark1994. The questionnaire was validated using a pilot study. The questionnaire was sent to medical superintendents/administrators of teaching hospitals on their postal address and also on their email (wherever the same was available). Results: It was observed that the services that were outsourced in majority of hospitals were security, sanitation, dietetics, pharmacy and canteen. The services that were outsourced less frequently were nursing, radiology, manifold. Most of the administrators were of the opinion that outsourcing results in reduction of cost and freed the management to focus on key issues. Conclusion: Outsourcing of healthcare services needs to be explored and more research needs to be done in this. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
