Case Study: The RockWood Group (RWG) achieves 40-system decommissioning and $17M in savings with Harmony Healthcare IT

40 Systems Decommissioned Results in $17M Savings for Large IDN over Three Years

The RockWood Group (RWG), a health information technologies consulting firm, worked with a large integrated delivery network (nine hospitals, 1,200 beds, 700 physicians) that needed to decommission 40 legacy clinical, revenue cycle, HR/payroll and ancillary systems and securely archive the data. RWG recommended bringing in Harmony Healthcare IT and its HealthData Archiver® long‑term storage platform so end users could evaluate the archiving solution before the IDN made a final decision.

Harmony Healthcare IT deployed HealthData Archiver® to consolidate legacy records into clinicians’ EHR workflows with single sign‑on access, preserve data integrity through validation and training, and accelerate timelines to meet budgetary goals. The engagement decommissioned 40 systems, was delivered on time and on budget, expanded archive use, reduced cybersecurity and labor burdens, and is projected to save the IDN $17 million over three years.
