Clarity before action.
StrataCare provides low-burden, observational audits that help leaders understand whether nutrition-related workforce risks are present — or already being managed informally.
What We Do
We conduct leadership-facing audits that observe how environment, access, and role demands function during real work.
The work is:
• Observational
• Non-clinical
• Upstream-focused
• Low burden to operations
The goal is not to introduce programs, but to improve the quality of information available before decisions are made.
Why This Exists
Many initiatives begin after costs have already been incurred — through programs, policies, or capital changes — without clarity about whether action is necessary.
StrataCare helps leaders:
• Avoid guessing or overcorrecting
• Distinguish real constraints from perceived ones
• Confirm when systems are functioning as intended
• Decide whether to act, monitor, or do nothing
Sometimes alignment itself is the outcome.
How This Is Different
Most wellness efforts focus downstream on participation and behavior.
StrataCare looks upstream — at the conditions that shape behavior before individual choice comes into play.
This work does not rely on surveys, self-report, or buy-in.
It observes how the system actually functions during normal operations.
What This Is Not
StrataCare does not provide:
• Wellness programs or rollouts
• Individual counseling or coaching
• Staff education or training
• Surveys or engagement initiatives
• Prescriptive recommendations
The audit stands on its own.
What Leaders Receive
A concise, audit-style report that:
• Summarizes observed conditions
• Identifies structural gaps if present
• Clarifies areas that may warrant attention — or restraint
Leadership retains full discretion over how, or whether, to act.
Contact
A brief introductory conversation is available for leaders exploring whether an observational audit would be useful.
No preparation required.
StrataCare operates upstream — slowing down where risk hides so leadership can move forward with confidence.

What This Work Is
StrataCare conducts low-burden, observational audits focused on nutrition-related workforce risk.
The work examines how environment, access, role demands, and leadership expectations interact during real work conditions.
It is:
• Observational
• Structural
• Upstream-focused
• Non-clinical
• Leadership-facing
The purpose is to provide clarity — not to prescribe solutions.
What This Work Is Not
This work is not:
• A wellness program
• Individual nutrition counseling
• Staff education or training
• Surveys or engagement initiatives
• A recommendation or implementation service
The audit does not require staff participation and does not interrupt workflow.
Why Nutrition Is Considered at a Systems Level
Nutrition is often addressed at the individual level. However, eating behavior is shaped by structure long before personal choice comes into play.
Factors such as:
• Physical environment
• Availability and placement of food
• Break design and timing
• Role demands and task flow
• Leadership expectations all influence whether nourishment is realistically supported during work.
Why Observation Matters
This work does not rely on perception, buy-in, memory, or self-report.
It looks at how the system actually functions during normal operations.
If the observed picture does not reflect reality, the audit does not hold. That discipline is intentional and prevents overinterpretation.
How Leaders Use the Findings
Organizations use the audit to:
• Determine whether action is necessary
• Avoid unnecessary initiatives or spending
• Confirm alignment
• Decide to monitor rather than intervene
In some cases, alignment itself is the outcome.
Liability & Use of Findings
Findings are observational only.
The audit does not diagnose, prescribe, or recommend actions. Leadership may choose to act, monitor, or take no action at all without implication.
Ownership of findings remains with the organization.
Common Questions
How accurate are the findings?
They reflect real conditions observed during normal operations. If the picture is inaccurate, the audit does not hold — by design.
Does this create liability?
No. The audit is non-clinical and observational.
Is staff involvement required?
No. The audit is leadership-facing.
What happens after the audit?
Nothing is required. Leaders decide how or whether to proceed.
