Service Line and Physician Planning

The StrataJazz Service Line Planning framework changes the paradigm for service line management by providing a unique combination of powerful data integration, strategic assumption development tools, and a superb platform for collaborative planning with physicians. Many healthcare organizations defer the development of short and long term service line projections because it is just too difficult to accomplish with their current planning tools. Now you can use StrataJazz models to develop strategic service line projections, and identify which service lines have the most potential and which should be considered for divestiture or restructuring. The system supports clinician input, incorporating important insights about volumes, staffing, and other factors. Clinicians become accountable for their forecasts while providing executive administrators with a strategic view of service line opportunities and risks.

StrataJazz Service Line Planning integrates with StrataJazz Cost Accounting and StrataJazz Operating Budgeting to enable a closed-loop process for service line management. The service line planning module retrieves detailed data on costs, revenues and volumes from the cost accounting analytics and then layers on sophisticated forecasting tools. The finance department can leverage this information by setting organizational targets and applying them across multiple service lines. Service line targets flow to StrataJazz Operating Budgeting to ensure consistent goals and metrics across the whole organization. Throughout the year, StrataJazz reports and dashboards provide an up-to-date understanding of service line performance and profitability.
