Healthcare relies on a range of digitally connected services, from ubiquitous electronic health record (EHR) and telehealth systems to back-end scheduling, monitoring, analytics and workforce management tools. These applications exist in highly varying states. While some may be updated weekly, others run code written decades ago on mainframes that manufacturers may no longer support.
To further optimize care delivery and operational efficiency, organizations need to understand where applications are running, how they can run better, how they depend on each other and whether they’re capable of scaling. This undertaking is referred to as application modernization, and it’s critical to enabling ongoing digital transformation for hospitals and health systems.
“The goal of application modernization is to enhance an organization’s applications to meet the needs of internal users and external customers,” says Jenn Roth, product marketing director of data and AI platform for healthcare at Microsoft. “Modernizing applications can rapidly transform how people interact with an organization.”
