Background: Outsourcing as an effective strategy in public management has attracted policy-makers. Awareness of quantity and quality of implementing this strategy can help policy-makers and managers to remove barriers to this policy. This study aimed to investigate outsourced services and the applied models in Bushehr University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in Bushehr University of Medical Sciences in 2019 in four separate steps of literature review, shortlisting outsourceable services, data quality assurance and categorization of outsourced services into clinical and non-clinical services. Finally, the collected data were entered into Excel® version 8 to calculate and report descriptive indicators.
Results: Result showed that totally 24 types of services have been outsourced. Half of them were clinical and the other haf were non-clinical. Among the outsourcing models, service purchasing model and management outsourcing model were the most and the least applied models, respectively.
Conclusion: Although various outsourcing models are available, the type and the number of outsourced services are still limited. Given the diversity of services in health sector especially clinical services, it is possible to use the capacity of outsourcing strategy more effectively.
