LASON and International Association of Outsourcing Professionals Launch Healthcare Business Office Chapter

Posted on: Tuesday, 5 July 2005, 09:01 CDT

LASON, Inc., a leading provider of business process outsourcing solutions, announced today their participation in the design and creation of a North American Healthcare Business Office Chapter of the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP). IAOP is the field's first truly global professional membership organization. The association helps member companies increase their outsourcing success rate, improve their outsourcing ROI and expand the opportunities for outsourcing across their businesses.

The mission of the North American Healthcare Business Office Chapter is to integrate the payer and provider community within the business office functions of healthcare and to provide a forum for interaction. The primary goal of the chapter is to educate the user community in outsourcing services and promote information sharing by industry leaders in areas of market analysis, technology innovation and process improvement. "The addition of a Healthcare Business Office Chapter allows our user community to further develop and expand their knowledge of outsourcing in the healthcare field," says Michael F. Corbett, IAOP's Executive Director. "The development of the Chapter between LASON and IAOP brings thousands of practitioners together to take the lead in developing and promoting professional standards, educate the end user community and advocate the work the government is trying to do to make healthcare accessible and less expensive for all. The primary goal of the Chapter will be to deliver the highest value possible in outsourcing initiatives for the healthcare community."

Suresh Yannamani, EVP of LASON's Healthcare Business Process Outsourcing Group, added that, "LASON's leadership role in this Chapter, along with the guidance from the IAOP team, allows us to take a significant step at closing the gap between payer and provider in the healthcare community. The crucial collaboration between these two groups will only strengthen the industry and as a result provide better healthcare in the long run. We look forward to working closely with IAOP, striving for excellence in the Chapter and our communities at large."
