Join the Community Program

Strata’s Community Program is a turn-key offering of our traditional, award-winning StrataJazz® financial planning, analytics and performance platform.

The program is specifically designed to make the same tools used by the largest health systems accessible to independent community, critical access, and specialty hospitals. This offering delivers a single and integrated cloud-based, software-as-a-service platform that includes modules for decision support, operational budgeting, and management reporting. The Community Program is intended to provide hospitals with a predictable, affordable total cost of ownership, while delivering real value for even the most resource-constrained finance teams.

We understand your unique challenges.

Hospitals in smaller communities face challenges that those in larger areas simply don’t. Geographic isolation, workforce shortages, and resource constraints can make it harder to deliver high-quality care and to stay independent. These factors create unique needs for their finance teams, too. In fact, in smaller markets, finance teams are often asked to do much more but with less, all while planning, balancing and adjusting for the financial needs of their organization.

We are here to help

Strata’s company mission – to help heal healthcare – makes us acutely aware of the needs of the some of the most vital members of the U.S. healthcare system. The Community Program is designed to assist finance teams in addressing the following critical challenges, which were revealed in a recent survey of financial leaders.

Identify Cost Reductions

Finance leaders often lack enough tools to identify cost-improvement opportunities. In fact, 54% say they have insufficient data, benchmarking, and reporting tools to completely support efforts to lower costs without compromising the quality of care.

Become More Agile

Finance leaders may lack confidence in their ability to adjust quickly and easily to changing business circumstances. Only 14% believe their current financial planning processes and tools make them “very prepared” to manage the financial impact of evolving payment and delivery models

Understand Clinical Performance

Finance leaders may be ill-prepared to use clinical measures to impact financial performance. Only 14% said that their clinicians have access to actionable information that helps them address unwarranted clinical variation and other cost-related quality concerns.
