The healthcare BPO market is witnessing significant growth due to the rapid increase in clinical process outsourcing.

The rise in clinical trials outsourcing is attributed to the increasing number of drugs entering clinical phases, leading companies to seek Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) to manage their portfolios. According to ClinicalTrials.gov, a total of 437,515 clinical trials were registered in 2022, with 56,561 successfully completed. The increasing reliance on clinical process outsourcing is expected to drive the healthcare BPO market in the coming years.
The healthcare BPO market is expected to experience growth due to the rising healthcare expenditure. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total resources, including financial resources, spent on healthcare services and related activities within a specific period.

According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information in November 2022, healthcare expenditure in the United States rose to 0.8%, reaching $331 billion in 2022, compared to 7.6% in 2021. The increasing healthcare expenditure is a driving force for the growth of the healthcare BPO market.

Fujitsu envisions this platform contributing to the establishment of a fresh health and medical community focused on promoting the overall well-being of individuals.
Major companies are developing innovative solutions such as an AI and RPA platform to enhance profitability. This platform combines the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to automate various tasks within an organization. For example, in July 2021, Access Healthcare, a US-based Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services provider, launched echo, an AI and RPA platform automating processes throughout the revenue cycle. The Echo suite offers tools for automating eligibility checks, data input, coding, payment tracking, AR management, denial handling, and appeals. Utilizing machine learning and AI, Echo accelerates productivity by automating processes, surpassing other revenue cycle platforms in ROI speed, quality, and outcomes.
