The Answer to Modern-Day Pirates: Is Your Healthcare System the Next Hostage?

Let’s keep this simple.

I sat down with Clint Jones of Aureum Solutions on the Triple Margin Freedom podcast to talk about a problem most leaders still underestimate: cyber downtime.

Here’s the number that should get your attention fast: $1.9 million per day.

That’s the average loss Clint shared for a mid-to-large healthcare organization when systems are down. Not eventually. Per day. When the network goes dark, billing stalls, cash flow tightens, and the business starts bleeding. And when modern-day pirates lock up your systems and hold them hostage, the damage compounds fast.

That’s where Triple Margin Freedom comes in. Freedom is not just mindset. It’s not just time. It’s not just money. It’s operational resilience too. If your systems fail and your business freezes, your margins are fiction.

The Binder Is Dead

A lot of organizations still rely on the old disaster recovery playbook. You know the one. The dusty three-ring binder sitting on a shelf like it still runs the world.

It doesn’t.

When a cyber event hits, paper plans get slow, messy, and outdated in a hurry. Teams need clarity now, not page numbers and guesswork.

React Replaces the Binder

That’s why Clint and the Aureum Solutions team built React.

React replaces the dusty binder with a tool built for real downtime. It helps teams keep critical information accessible when main systems are compromised. In plain English: it gives people a way to keep moving when everything else stops.

That matters. Because in a crisis, speed matters. Clarity matters. Cash flow matters. If you lead in healthcare, you do not have time to negotiate with modern-day pirates while your operations sit frozen.

The Real Leadership Question

So here’s the question: is your recovery plan built for the world you actually live in, or for the one you used to live in?

If downtime costs $1.9 million a day, this is not an IT side issue. It’s a leadership issue. A strategy issue. A Triple Margin Freedom issue.
