HealthData Planner™
Application Rationalization
Guide and inform legacy data rationalization and optimization.
Integrated Delivery Networks (IDN) or other provider organizations with a merger and acquisition strategy can
rack up a large number of legacy applications.
A key component of any successful healthcare IT and governance team is a thorough understanding of their
organization’s landscape of applications housing clinical, financial and business records. Instead of using
antiquated spreadsheets to document these details, HealthData Planner™ provides a modern, secure and
collaborative online approach for a single source of truth that can help guide your legacy data plan.
HealthData Planner™ helps you:
- Inventory Applications – List the legacy systems across your enterprise.
- Capture Data Details – Document the key information for each source system.
- Prioritize Decommissioning – Determine an order and plan to retire each system.
Optimize Data Projects
Document
In collaboration with your Account Manager, use HealthData Planner™ to document your inventory of
legacy systems targeted for decommissioning. Include comprehensive data source details to inform statements of
work and operational hand-offs. Proper work up-front saves time throughout the project.
Collaborate
Eliminate the back-and-forth exchange of emails and spreadsheets by collaborating online with Harmony Healthcare
IT. Establish a login for your legacy application subject matter experts that allows them to add/modify/delete
systems and details and share notes with your Account Manager.
Prioritize
Allow the online inventory to serve as a roadmap for systems to decommission. We consult with you to develop the
most efficient and cost-effective system decommissioning schedule.

Client Testimonial
By reducing your application portfolio you have the opportunity to really reduce the operational burden of maintaining availability of systems, of maintaining access to them, of maintaining any backups and redundancy for preservation of the data. These things have a cost to them and they’re a big part of what helps build a compelling ROI for doing what we call “application rationalization”.
