Founder’s Post: Stratasan's 2020 Year-End Reflections
How Our Purpose, Niche, and Story Are Designed to Help You Succeed
By Jason Moore
We recently held our annual Town Hall, which is a time set aside for reflection and preparation for the new year. Following the pattern of most everything else in 2020, this year’s Town Hall looked different from the past. It was virtual and shorter in length in an effort to be mindful of the taxing nature of multi-hour video meetings.
One consistency from the past was that much of the time was spent reflecting on our purpose, niche, and the ongoing evolution of our company story. This trifecta encompasses what makes our company unique, our “special sauce,” if you will.

How to Be More Insightful and Strategic with Data-Based Findings
By Lee Ann Lambdin and Forrest Rich
At the close of each quarter, strategic planners in the healthcare industry have the opportunity to present quarterly findings and progress updates to executive teams and upper-level management. These quarterly meetings often provide critical insight necessary for continued advancement in planned growth-related projects. They could also be the ideal time to present new ideas.
These meetings present an opportunity to share key findings to leadership that can change the course of how a hospital’s planning, marketing, and business development departments will function in the weeks and months to come. Therefore, it is critical that you're prepared to tell the most compelling story possible with the data you have on-hand.

The Value of Having Confidence in Your Data
Leverage Adjustable Confidence Scoring for Empowered Payer Negotiations
By Hannah Killian and James Porter
In survey research1, a confidence level is applied to express how confident a researcher is in the data obtained from a population sample. A confidence level lets someone know if they can trust the research data to make decisions.
Similarly, a confidence level (or score), when applied to all-payer claims data (APCD), indicates the trustworthiness of this data for making healthcare decisions. It’s a metric that ensures integrity and can empower a provider to use this data with greater assurance.
Greater data confidence can be useful when pursuing a number of healthcare planning initiatives. In this post, we’ll discuss specifically how an adjustable confidence-scoring system is valuable when preparing for provider-payer reimbursement negotiations. Equipped with this tool, providers can:
- Experience data with certainty, knowing that the cleaning and curation work has already been done
- Apply their intuition, since variability can be adjusted to allow for the application of local knowledge
- Approach negotiations empowered by data insights, assured that the data they’re relying upon to make decisions is trustworthy
Let's get started discussing each of these factors in more detail.

Why a Data Addiction Could Be Good for Hospital Performance
How to Foster a Data-Focused Culture
Gist Healthcare provides a weekly newsletter called the Weekly Gist. A popular read in our office, we find it to be informative and useful for staying on top of the latest healthcare news. In this newsletter, they distill the latest healthcare news, trends, and conversations with industry leaders into actionable guidance for CEOs and senior executives.
A recent excerpt from Gist caught our attention. The CMO of a regional health system shared that: “his personal efforts to champion greater performance transparency and tracking of key clinical metrics made a big difference in [his] system’s impressive results in elevating physician performance.” He went on to emphasize that “getting the doctors addicted to data” was a critical element of his system’s success.

The Secrets of the DIKW Pyramid
By Jason Moore
Have you heard of the DIKW pyramid? If not, you’re not alone. But if you’re up for a refreshing shift in perspective on how to make data-driven decisions, then read on.
Within the healthcare landscape, change is constant. As a result, growth departments — whether they be strategic planning, marketing, business development, or physician relations — must make informed, data-driven decisions that can keep pace with the rate of change. Stratasan views the DIKW pyramid as the best and most philosophically accurate way for leaders to make these decisions.
