Get the results your organization needs with clearly defined objectives and accountability

For years, Strata has been helping hospital and health system leaders overcome the fundamental challenge of how to ingrain sustainable, continuous improvement processes into their organizations. Our continuous improvement advisory services staff works with organizations to build a thorough understanding of how the organization is performing now, the ability to define actionable objectives moving forward, and tools to track performance relative to those goals. 

Across healthcare, there is a pressing need to understand the true costs of delivering care. This report, developed for the American Hospital Association, discusses the limitations of commonly used cost-accounting methodologies that are based on charges. It describes alternative cost accounting methods used by many healthcare organizations that better reflect the complexities of healthcare costs, such as the HFMA-Strata L7 Cost Accounting Model.
