Healthcare organizations need the right blend for a “cloud-smart” strategy that digs into the details of which workloads are right for the cloud. They are learning that just because they can move something into the cloud, it doesn’t always mean that they should. As mergers and acquisitions continue to change the industry’s landscape, organizations may be inheriting redundant applications, aging systems and outdated facilities that could hamper growth. A typical healthcare organization can have hundreds or thousands of applications in its system, and there are many opportunities to find redundancy.
As these organizations prioritize adoption of newer technologies, improvement of digital access for patients, and retention of clinicians and other staff members, they will need to take a closer look at their current environments before trying to leap forward into the cloud. They should strongly consider embedding app rationalization into the organization’s culture as a continuous improvement process.
