Twenty-three hospitals in central and southern Georgia have formed a strategic alliance to share resources and information to provide coordinated healthcare in the region. 

According to an article in Modern Healthcare, the new organization, Stratus Healthcare, is a not-for-profit limited-liability corporation. The concept was thought of as a way for the providers to collaborate while remaining independent. The CEOs from each of the medical centers involved in the agreement will share in governing the new organization.

The article also points out that Stratus is part of a growing number of such alliances that seek a looser partnership model, instead of a formal takeover agreement. 

The initial focus for Stratus will be developing networks for primary and specialty care as well as programs that will allow members to create clinical guidelines, establish transfer arrangements and share information through telemedicine, the article says.
