DC Discusses: Outsourced Clinical Services providing Long Term Care with a new lease of life

Co-Author, DC Advisory
Jane Arnold, Lisa Katz and Ryan Thurber discuss the growing use of outsourced clinical services and the key legal, regulatory and operational considerations health care providers must address when implementing these arrangements. They highlight that while outsourcing can improve efficiency, expand access to specialized care and help address workforce shortages, it also creates risks related to compliance, reimbursement, licensing and oversight. They also emphasize that providers must carefully structure outsourced service models and maintain appropriate governance to protect clinical quality, financial performance and regulatory compliance.
