A Healthcare Management Service Organization (MSO) is a health care specific company that provides non-clinical services (administrative and management services) to medical practices, healthcare providers, and ambulatory care facilities.
Advantages Offered by MSOs Fuels Its Demand
A MSO is beneficial to a health system in numerous ways:
- Improved Quality and Better Efficiency: Due to a common governance structure care management delivery across the organization is standardized. Population health reporting and analytics member identification, risk stratification, attribution, care management delivery, and staffing are all streamlined, which in turn results in performance improvement and better utilization
- Economies of Scale: MSOs urge the health systems to scout for partnerships, increase membership, and cut per-member-per-month (PMPM) management expenses by creating economies of scale
- Network Expansion: MSOs offer a competitive edge to healthcare organizations as they relieve them from performing administrative and managerial responsibilities. MSOs serve as an incentive for health organizations that are looking to expand their network
"MSO ensures access to the lowest prices of medical supplies and services... MSOs aggregate volumes and hence are able to achieve economies of scale, which in turn allows them to obtain preferred pricing on medical supplies, healthcare insurance, etc."
