The 4th Healthcare Information Management Outsourcing Services Congress (HIMOSC) will be held on November 12 at the InterContinental Hotel in Makati City.

Check out the five reasons why you should attend the biggest healthcare outsourcing event of the year:

1. Healthcare BPO is considered the Philippines’ “hidden jewel.”

International advisor Everest Group named the HIM industry as the “hidden jewel” of the country in its January 2013 report. True enough, the healthcare BPM industry’s revenues increased from US$102 million in 2010 to US$460 million by end-2012. The sector also posted the highest growth in employment among the sectors of the IT-BPM industry.

2. HIMOAP is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

The Healthcare Information Management Outsourcing Association of the Philippines, together with the Department of Science and Technology’s Information and Communications Technology Office (DOST-ICTO), are presenting this year’s HIMOSC.

3. Learn more about healthcare regulations and laws as well as the new coding system.

Heard about Affordable Care Act, Medicare Modernization Act, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the recently-signed Philippine Universal Healthcare law?

All these and their impact on the healthcare industry will be discussed in the session “Harnessing Opportunities in Healthcare Policies” and “Gearing Up for the Game Changer: International Classification of Disease 10.”

4. Get insights from a highly credible roster of panelists.

Respected names in the HIM industry as well as from the government and healthcare industry will provide insights on the different topics such as healthcare policies, talent development and retention, innovation and best practices, accessible healthcare, and the future of HIM.
