From the floor of the 2015 Healthcare Financial Management Association’s Annual Institute (ANI), Strata Decision Technology (Strata Decision), a pioneer and leader in the development of cloud-based financial analytics and performance tools for financial planning, decision support, and continuous cost improvement for healthcare providers, announced today that OSS Health (OSS) has selected StrataJazz® for decision support and financial planning.
OSS Health, based in South Central Pennsylvania, is comprised of the OSS Orthopaedic Hospital, five physician group locations, and two urgent care locations. It provides the area’s most comprehensive orthopedic care.
OSS will leverage the StrataJazz financial analytics and performance platform for decision support and cost accounting, which provides the ability to marry clinical and financial data to make more informed decisions and service line analytics to gain insights into their business and their bottom line. OSS will also use StrataJazz for budgeting and management reporting to streamline their financial planning process and allow managers to better understand and take action on variances.
“We chose Strata Decision because of their experience and passion for helping all types of healthcare organizations to improve financial planning processes and manage costs,” said Dale Bushey, Chief Financial Officer at OSS Health. “We look forward to using StrataJazz to help us better understand costs across the entire enterprise-and in turn, enhance the value we provide to the patients we serve.”
OSS will integrate StrataJazz with their existing enterprise systems, including their Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) from CPSI for the hospital and Medent for the physician practice. The implementation will be completed in late 2015.
“In order to adjust to the shifting dynamics in healthcare, OSS is investing a platform that will allow it to plan better and perform better,” stated Dan Michelson, Chief Executive Officer of Strata Decision. “StrataJazz will help OSS to navigate both their near-term financial performance and the big picture of driving margin to fuel their mission.”
StrataJazz provides a single database cloud-based platform for budgeting, forecasting, planning, cost accounting, and contract analytics while integrating with virtually any data source. Strata Decision’s extensive library of best-practices enhances the accuracy, efficiency and effectiveness of critical financial planning and management processes.
