Clearsense Featured in KLAS Emerging Insights Case Study for Powering the Largest and Most Impactful Application Rationalization & Active Archiving Initiative in U.S. Healthcare
Breakthrough implementation enables a large national health system to retire nearly 800 legacy applications, implement active archiving, and unlock over $65M to date in annual savings NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearsense®, a cloud-based data enablement platform company, today announced that it has been recognized in a newly published KLAS Emerging Insights Case Study for its significant role in the largest and most impactful application rationalization and active archiving initiative in the healthcare industry. The report spotlights an ongoing, multi-year effort by a large U.S. health system seeking to rationalize its oversized application portfolio following an enterprise EHR and ERP rollout, as well as ongoing merger and acquisition activity. The case study details how Clearsense delivered a decommissioning strategy built on standardized, accelerated active archiving processes, enabling the organization to realize more than $65 million in net annual savings by retiring nearly 800 redundant or outdated applications. By actively archiving legacy data from hundreds of systems into the 1Clearsense Platform, Clearsense's secure, cloud-based data enablement solution, the health system created a single point of access for both live and historical records. This provided a longitudinal health record at the point of care while laying the foundation for initiatives such as population health analytics and AI training. "We're doing app rationalization and archival at scale," said the health system executive interviewed by KLAS. "I think another vendor could probably archive a single application in six months…but if you're like us and you're doing 20 to 25 applications every three months and you're going to do that for six years, that's not something that every vendor can do. I'm not sure there's another program in the U.S. that's running at the scale we are. So, I'll say [Clearsense's] biggest differentiator comes at the scale and the velocity they have." According to KLAS, the health system selected Clearsense not only for its 1Clearsense Platform and ability to archive at scale, but also for operating as a true strategic partner—offering ongoing support across application lifecycle management, active data archiving, and enterprise integration. "Clearsense is a partner in our application rationalization and data archival program... Clearsense supports us from a services side, sitting as part of our supply chain and moving things from a disposition on any one application all the way through the archival, which is extraction and ingestion from the source system to the [1Clearsense Platform] archive they provide for us," the executive added. The health system realized a return on investment (ROI) within the first quarter after going live, covering ongoing capital investment and sustaining positive operational expense returns. It continues to decommission applications and is on track to achieve well over $100 million in total annual operational cost savings. "This case study proves what's possible when health systems mandate application rationalization as a strategic business priority," said Jason Z. Rose, CEO of Clearsense. "While material Medicaid funding cuts are imminent, coupled with rising costs, health system leaders need to elevate active archiving as an imperative to streamline their bloated application portfolios. Analysts estimate that 20-30% of applications are redundant or unnecessary. By decommissioning these apps at a massive scale through a unique supply chain program, organizations can rapidly reduce costs, strengthen security, and unlock unified access to data. This delivers rapid and permanent ROI and lays the groundwork for advanced analytics, AI, and future innovation with a longitudinal EHR."

Downtown Las Vegas businesses brace for weekend protests
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Marco Lopez, co-owner of Juice Stars, told 8 News Now his business was vandalized earlier this week during the Las Vegas protest downtown. Anti-ICE expletives were spray-painted on his storefront, and he spent nearly two hours cleaning it up. 'At first I was like 'ugh really,' but I came in, grabbed a razor blade, spray bottle, and just had to sit there and scrape slowly,' Lopez said. He is now preparing his business for the protests planned this weekend. 'I mean we're gonna prep as best we can, bring all our stuff inside, get stuff put away, possibly just take everything money-wise, valuable out of here,' said Lopez. The owner also plans to monitor the store's security cameras, since the business will be closed during those hours. Other employees working at downtown businesses, who wanted to remain anonymous, told 8 News Now they are taking precautions. Many did not want to be named out of fear of retribution. 'The company we partnered with next door had to lock up their doors just as a precaution and for extra safety as well,' a woman told 8 News Now. She explained although they hope things won't get out of hand over the weekend, they are prepared to close their doors if it does. 'To close up early would impact our sales obviously, but we just want to make sure everyone's safe out there, especially our employees,' she said. The downtown protest is expected to take place at the federal courthouse tomorrow from 5-7 p.m. According to a press release, it is meant to be 'peaceful protests against the Trump administration.'

Las Vegas hospital Nevada's first with 2 cutting-edge treatments
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — MountainView Hospital is making history as the first hospital in Nevada to perform both CAR T-cell therapy and allogeneic stem cell transplants, two cutting-edge treatments that can be lifesaving for patients battling blood cancers and other serious disorders. CAR T-cell therapy involves turning a patient's own cells into powerful weapons against their disease, while allogeneic stem cell transplant uses healthy donor cells to aid in recovery. These highly complex and sophisticated therapies have become a crucial tool in extending and, in many cases, saving the lives of patients with hard-to-treat disorders. 'There are two therapies. One is allogeneic stem cell transplant, which allows us to provide stem cells from other donors to patients who have a need for that. We are also bringing CAR T therapy which uses the patient's own cells,' said Dr. Carolyn Mulroney, medical director of the Sarah Cannon transplant and the CAR T-cell therapy program. Usually, many patients and their families have been forced to travel out of state to access these advanced treatments, adding financial stress and uncertainty during a difficult time. Now, thanks to MountainView's Sarah Cannon Transplant & Cellular Therapy Program, these lifesaving options are available close to home, supported by a team of multidisciplinary experts. This significant breakthrough comes just ahead of the grand opening for MountainView's first-of-its-kind 12,000-square-foot Day Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility designed to provide convenient, patient-centric care under one roof. The new Day Hospital will enable patients to undergo extensive treatments while retaining their routines and staying connected with their support networks. 'In an outpatient setting like this, it allows the patient to go home at the end of the day, sleep in their own bed, and be with their family,' Maria Rios, administrative director at MountainView Hospital, said. This marks a major step forward in health care for Nevada, ensuring that patients battling some of the most aggressive blood disorders can find hope without having to leave their community.
