subject: The Boom Of Healthcare Call Centers [print this page] Call centers around the world are more than just an industry. It is a revolution of sorts. While the origin of call centers can be traced to the developed countries of the world. However, in the past decade or two, they have taken the world by storm. As a matter of fact, companies around the western world realized the advantage of the currency exchange and therefore to improve profits and turnouts for the company they have outsourced businesses to countries such as India, China, Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong among others. Some of the countries where these companies have their genesis include the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany and the like. There are many aspects to the call center epic and the following will discuss them in detail.
Among the many call center services , the healthcare call centers are among those that have created a more recent boom. They are in existence in many forms and some of them are known as medical transcription call centers. Essentially what happens in these call centers is that they serve as the back end office for the medical companies and components in other countries. So the billing for the doctors, the prescription for the patients and things like that are taken care of by the call centers located, for instance, in India.
There are many kinds of call centers and they are different in the way that they are designed for the needs of the customers. But most of the call centers have inbound processes and outbound processes. This is essentially a subdivision of a particular call center. So, to break it down further, this is how it works. There can be either independent call center BPOS which means that one company will be collaborating with many companies in order to provide their customers with services such as customer service. On the other hand, there are the call centers of the individual companies such as that of HSBC. HSBC has its own call center and does not rely on other BPOs for their services.
