Modernizing and optimizing applications can create a major impact on workflow efficiencies throughout a healthcare organization. However, the process requires time, money and resources that some organizations may not have, leaving technology and clinical teams operating in an IT landscape complicated by technical debt.
According to a 2023 report from the IBM Institute for Business Value, 83 percent of North American IT executives say modernizing applications and data is central to the business strategy of their organizations. Despite that, only 27 percent say their organization has modernized many of its workflows.
Application modernization offers many benefits: It can boost annual revenue, lower application maintenance costs and improve operational efficiency, reduce resource costs and increase year-over-year savings on infrastructure, according to the IBM report.
Health systems should begin application modernization with an assessment of their application infrastructure and portfolio. Fortunately, healthcare organizations do not have to handle this process on their own. Technology partners with application modernization experience can support healthcare organizations through an assessment more quickly and efficiently than an organization could do on its own. An assessment, especially if it’s automated, can significantly speed up an organization’s application modernization initiatives, says Greg Peters, founder for the Strategic Application Modernization Assessment (SAMA) at CDW.
