In today’s healthcare IT environment, legacy applications that no longer serve a clinical or operational purpose—"zombie apps"—are doing more than taking up digital space. They’re silently bleeding millions in operating costs, increasing cyber risk and slowing down M&A progress.

In this episode of This Week Health, Clearsense CEO Jason Rose joins host Bill Russell to unpack the hidden dangers of zombie apps and why decommissioning them isn’t just an IT project—it’s a strategic imperative.

Jason shares real-world insights from one health system that uncovered $65 million in wasted spend tied to outdated, ungoverned apps. He also discusses how executive-level involvement, better governance, and a clear crisis model can turn application rationalization into a capital-backed win for the entire organization.

Whether you’re navigating a recent merger, managing application sprawl, or rethinking your IT budget, this conversation is your wake-up call.

Tune in now to learn how to reclaim control—and your capital.
