title: The less decade.
abstract: Although outsourcing is a relatively new buzzword, it actually amounts to contract management, a solution hospitals have used for years to manage operations areas such as dietary, housekeeping and maintenance. Many hospitals have found outsourcing a cost-effective way to meet their information system needs. Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, Ga. is one example. Ten HealthQuest employees, including programmer Jerry Porter, work at NGMC under the medical center's facilities management agreement.
