Why Clinical Process Outsourcing
There is a demographic crisis in health care. Over the next 10 years the number of elderly age 85 and over will grow 38 percent. The number of seniors requiring health care support will double. According to Department of Health and Human Services Report to Congress, the number of people requiring long term care services is expected to grow by more than 200 percent, from 13 million in 2000 to 27 million in 2050.
In 2000, there were 77 persons in the workforce for every long term care job. This ratio will decrease in 2010 to 60 persons, and in 2050 to between 14 and 34 persons, per long term care job. Already today there are over 400.000 unfilled nursing positions causing health care providers across the country to close wings or risk negative outcomes. Over the coming years, the declining ratio of working age adults to elderly will further exacerbate the shortage.
