In this episode of RCA Radio, host Erika Porcelli and guest Steve Cox, a ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Compliance Associates (RCA) Senior Consultant, cover the business strategy of outsourcing surveillance in both the medical device and pharmaceutical industries. Not recognized as a business strategy until the late 1980’s, outsourcing is now looked at as a strategic partnership for businesses, growing increasingly in the U.S. with many key considerations at play.
Listen in as we discuss a brief history of business process outsourcing and its impact on the U.S. labor market, functions primary to an outsourcing strategy and the traits they share, the steps and timeline necessary to outsource a workflow, the pros and cons to this strategy, potential change paradigms that could arise, and regulatory considerations.
