StrataJazz will replace EPSi as HM’s budgeting tool starting with the FY24 budget cycle this summer. This change affects anyone who is required to prepare and analyze department budgets.
StrataJazz provides an improved platform for cost analysis. It is fully integrated with MARS and Epic and has three years of backloaded patient encounter data to aid in forecasting and reporting. Training begins this summer and details will be coming from the Budgeting and Compliance team soon. If you have questions about cost accounting, contact Lindrel Thompson at lfthompson@houstonmethodist.org. If you have questions about operating budgets, contact Nan Chi at nchi@houstonmethodist.org.
