TLDR: Strata Decision Technology recently hosted its LIFT25 Virtual Summit, a three-day event from October 21-23, 2025, bringing together healthcare finance leaders. The summit focused on showcasing advancements in AI, data integration, and enterprise performance management solutions designed to bolster financial resilience and performance within the healthcare sector amidst challenges like rising costs and labor shortages.
CHICAGO – Strata Decision Technology successfully concluded its LIFT25: The Strata Users Virtual Summit, held from October 21-23, 2025. The annual event convened healthcare finance leaders from hospitals, health systems, and various healthcare organizations across the nation to address the pressing financial challenges facing the industry, including escalating costs, persistent labor shortages, and increasing financial pressures.
The summit served as a crucial platform for sharing innovative strategies and best practices aimed at improving organizational performance and resilience. A central theme of LIFT25 was the pivotal role of artificial intelligence, data integration, and advanced platforms in redefining healthcare financial management. Attendees gained early insights into Strata’s product roadmap, which features exciting AI-powered innovations, a new Position Control solution, and enhanced enterprise performance management (EPM) tools.
Keynote speakers and session leaders emphasized a practical approach to technological adoption. As one Strata executive noted, “We’re not pursuing AI for AI’s sake. Every feature we build must help solve a real problem for healthcare leaders.” This philosophy underpins Strata’s commitment to delivering valuable, impact-driven solutions. Another executive highlighted the power of unified data: “By unifying our data in the cloud, we’re helping healthcare leaders connect insight to action. These data resources are now more accessible to our healthcare customers across all our platforms. As a result, organizations can see their opportunities to drive performance more clearly, plan more effectively, and respond more quickly to change.”
The agenda featured engaging sessions led by Strata experts and real-world experiences shared by fellow healthcare leaders, focusing on maximizing the impact of StrataJazz® and Axiom™ solutions. The event also included an Expanded Expert Bar and Demo Day, offering attendees one-on-one opportunities to connect with Strata experts, learn best practices, and explore product demonstrations. Participants were also eligible to earn CPE credits from the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA).
