The #1 Planning, Analytics, and Performance Platform

The Problem

Healthcare providers have little to no access to accurate and actionable information on the cost of care. According to a recent survey, 90% of healthcare leaders are “flying blind” when it comes to understanding cost. How can you reduce variation, waste and inefficiency in order to invest in and improve care if you don’t have any access to data?

The Solution

Strata is rated #1 in KLAS for Decision Support and Advanced Cost Accounting is known as the “gold standard” for understanding cost and margins. Their hospital cost accounting software is the most sophisticated Business Intelligence engine in healthcare. With methodologies like Time-Driven Costing™, Advanced Cost Accounting has become the first true “killer app” to hit the financial side of hospitals since the endless flurry of systems that were deployed over the last 40 years for revenue cycle management. Strata is central to delivering value as understanding cost has shifted from a back room broken process to an urgent board room strategic priority.
