Newsday: Zombie Apps and the $65 Million IT Wake-Up Call with Jason Rose

Listen Later
June 9, 2025: Healthcare organizations face an unprecedented challenge as potential Medicaid cuts threaten heavy IT staff reductions, but what if the real solution lies hidden in plain sight within their own systems? Jason Rose, CEO of Clearsense, discusses how "zombie applications" - applications that are neither fully alive nor completely dead - are silently draining millions from healthcare budgets. The conversation delves into the harsh realities of crisis governance models, the hidden costs of transition service agreements, and whether healthcare leaders are prepared to make the difficult operational decisions required in the days ahead.
