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 operating budgeting, management reporting, and cost accounting. 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.
