Your clinical capacity is larger than your schedule suggests.
Costara finds where clinical time is lost and builds the tools to recover it — using time-driven activity-based costing to power value-based healthcare and help your team
do more, with care.
A focused two-week observation period paired with a comprehensive cost and process improvement report, helping your team understand where clinical time and resources are being used across the care pathway.
A tailored observation and improvement engagement designed around your organization’s needs, followed by three months of support to test workflow changes, model scenarios, and translate findings into practical process improvement.
Ongoing support through a living dashboard and periodic workflow reviews, helping your team continue updating assumptions, tracking changes, and identifying opportunities to improve care delivery over time.
Two weeks of expert process mapping — capturing nursing prep, room turnover, consult interruptions, and every activity that digital systems miss.
Real-world time data are converted into a statistically rigorous cost-per-minute map, showing how resources move through each step of your care process.
A custom dashboard that lets managers run “what if” scenarios — staffing changes, workflow adjustments, and throughput projections — to identify practical efficiencies.
Invisible bottlenecks
EMRs capture check-in and check-out — not the 18 minutes of prep work or equipment delays that occur between timestamps.
Averages that mislead
Top-down cost averages mask process-level variance. You cannot reallocate what you cannot see.
Shifting funding models
Healthcare systems are transitioning toward activity-based funding. Clinics without precise cost data are missing out.
Clarity means you know what we offer, what it costs, and what you will receive from the start. It also means giving your organization a clearer view of where resources go across the care pathway — and where they could be redirected to create more value.
Value is the reason we do this work. Costara helps healthcare organizations move closer to value-based care by improving how resources are used to support better outcomes for more patients. In other words, we help you do more, with care.
Presence means we work with you, not from a distance. From the first conversation, we shape the engagement around your organization, your workflows, and your values — then put boots on the ground to understand what your clinical staff need before building tools that fit.
