There is a lot of talk about staffing shortages and cost pressures in the health care industry. But Scott Gildea, Executive Vice President, Managed Services at Optimum Healthcare IT, has found that one challenge the providers have is just keeping up with the “cycle of innovation.” He charactizes the technology of health care as being in a “constant state of innovation” that forces on providers a “constant state of implementation.”
In a recent interview with Healthcare IT Today, Gene Scheurer, Founder and CEO at Optimum Healthcare IT, and Gildea explain how the company is helping hospitals and health systems free their staff to focus on strategic change by creating a managed services platform—a Center of Excellence—that can take on routine operations and maintenance.
Optimum Healthcare IT recently announced their new Managed Services Center of Excellence in Costa Rica. In the interview below, Scheurer and Gildea share some of the reasons why they chose Costa Rica and the benefits hospitals and health systems receive from this new center. Chief among its advantages is the ease of recruiting a highly skilled workforce. The country’s schools offer a lot STEM training and emphasize critical thinking, so that they have some of the highest aptitude testing in Latin America. The country is also stable politically and geographically not too distant from US, as well as being in the same time zone as part of the US. Plus, there’s the obvious dual language advantage their partners benefit from.
