Strata Health offers hospitals and health systems a one-stop software solution to manage transitions of care, integrating discharge planning, e-referrals, and vacancy management in a single platform. Strata Health’s platform uses real-time data to match patients’ health information to the most appropriate care available. It automates the patient flow process for case managers, reduces re-admissions, and integrates siloed systems, all to improve transitions of care across the care continuum.
With offices in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Strata provides services to health leaders globally. Its data helps decision-makers manage their health systems and operational stakeholders maintain a streamlined patient flow.
THE CHALLENGE
Strata Health initially moved from an external business-intelligence tool to an embedded solution several years ago, but that implementation was hindered by difficulties with the tool’s functionality and lack of support from the analytics software provider. As the project dragged on and a contract renewal loomed, Strata made the decision to go back to market to find a better solution.
“We went shopping for a better partner and to see if the market had anything new and exciting to offer to mitigate the pain of switching,” says Jen Hoecht, Strata’s Vice President of Operations. “We were very transparent about our situation when evaluating vendors. We knew we would need a willing and committed partner to maintain service and minimize disruption for our customers and ensure long-term continuity. Pyramid offered interesting, forward-looking functionality, a better technological fit, and the clearest willingness to work with us through a challenging few months. At the end of our evaluation, Pyramid Analytics was the clear winner.”
