I have talked with a few facilities lately that are looking at outsourcing their help desks.  There is a promise of cost savings, but they have a great worry that no outside organization could really be responsive to their physicians the way an onsite helpdesk can. 

Anyone have experience with an outsourced help desk in a clinical environment?

I am not sure I would feel comfortable outsourcing the help desk.  It seems like it would be worse service than having it as regular staff.  It may be cheaper though, but I am not certain by how much.
