The average health system might be losing millions annually due to forgotten, still-running software.
Shedding “Zombie Apps” Saves Hospitals Millions
Health systems can reclaim significant funds and bolster security by tackling outdated software.
What if your health system is quietly bleeding millions each year from outdated applications you didn’t even know were still running? This is the reality for many, as Jason Rose, CEO at Clearsense, and Kevin Erdal, Senior Vice President at Nordic Consulting Partners, explain. They highlight how eliminating “zombie apps”—those that are outdated, redundant, or underused—can dramatically reduce costs.
These lingering applications aren’t just financial drains; they also pose serious cybersecurity risks. Through active archiving and strategic governance, companies like Clearsense and Nordic assist organizations in identifying and safely retiring these digital relics. Crucially, this process ensures that necessary data remains accessible, preventing disruptions.
This cost-saving strategy not only sharpens operational efficiency but also frees up vital funds. Hospitals can then reinvest this money into innovation and future technology upgrades.
Their advice to healthcare leaders is straightforward: begin with a quick assessment to uncover these hidden savings.
