Capture the Benefits of Economies of Scale

A shared service center is a centralized organization within a company responsible for the execution and the handling of specific operational tasks, such as procurement, accounts payable, human resources, payroll, IT, legal, compliance, security, facilities, logistics, appointments, Coordinated Care, Billing, Nurse Assist and others, across business units, divisions and departments.   Shared service centers normally handle contacts and transactions within the company from employees, vendors, and service providers and therefore usually have little contact from customers and clients. 

HCS³⁶⁰ Provider employs shared services strategies to leverage a healthcare delivery system’s new found scale to improve quality, increase service capacity and reduce operational costs to both internal and external constituencies.

A shared service center is often the result of consolidation of remote groups handling similar functions, transactions, and responsibilities within a Healthcare organization.  

Shared service centers are deployed for a variety of reasons:

• to increase the quality and professionalism of support services,
• to increase cost flexibility for supporting services,
• to create a higher degree of strategic flexibility,
• to increase consistency of services,
• to reduce costs.

The data, information, and transactions processed by a shared services center can be recorded within a centralized system, tracked, analyzed and acted upon by the organization to improve service, operations and profitability.
