It's a fact that thousands of jobless newly graduated madlang people such as nurses, pharmacists,
physical therapists, and graduates of other medical-related
courses don't have jobs. But not anymore. Why? Because there is a growing job demand
in the healthcare information management (HIM) due to business
process outsourcing (BPO) coming from North America (the United States
and Canada), Europe and Asia as well.
This was explained by BPO experts at the Healthcare Information
Management Outsourcing Association of the Philippines Inc. (HIMOAP)
The rapid progress of the HIM industry such as medical transcription services decreased the mass migration of our medical force in the country as offshore outsourcing drove the Philippines' reputation in the BPO industry.
The healthcare outsourcing industry is about US $13 billion annually and that it is rapidly growing in the market globally.
As of the end of 2010, the BPO industry provided employment to an approximate 14,000 medical transcriptionists in North America, Great Britain and Asia-Pacific, which comprise 85% of the country's market.
The HIM industry aspires to provide our medical graduates more relevant job employment alternatives for practicing their medical courses while using their medical credentials as part of the new growing workforce.

"The Philippines is currently the second largest BPO service provider
in the world and the top choice for BPO investors, including the supply
of highly competent information technologists (IT) and English
proficient talents, comparably low cost investment tool and less
stringent investment policies imposed by the Philippine government,"
"The
Philippines has an adequate and competent pool of medical solution to
the unemployed and underemployed healthcare workers in the country,
particularly in medical transcription alone which is now getting a
significant attention from the U.S. market as they are currently
undergoing a major healthcare reformation."
