Outsourcing of Geriatric Services

Dr. V. Sreedevi

Abstract :

Government and social security organizations in developed nations have a viable option to reduce the cost of institutionalization and prolonged medical care of the aged. This can be affected by outsourcing these functions from regions where the required skills are adequate in terms of quality and number, but costs are a fraction of those in developed countries. Outsourcing is eminently feasible, especially in institutional care, where the aged could be moved to live in such countries, probably with more agreeable, warmer climates. Large Colonies where such geriatric care is provided to people of the same nationality or speaking the same language can be created, so that the aged can enjoy a social life in a familiar cultural environment while receiving the medical/geriatric services of the highest standard available in their countries or even better, at an affordable cost for their social security organizations and government.
