Healthcare Information

The Oklahoma Healthcare Information System is responsible for the development and operation of a method for collecting, processing and disseminating healthcare data including, but not limited to, quality, expenditure and utilization data. As specified in the Oklahoma Healthcare Information System Act, a uniform set of data will be periodically and routinely compiled that makes possible the ongoing analysis, comparison and evaluation of trends in the quality and delivery of healthcare services in Oklahoma for the purpose of effective healthcare planning by public and private entities and cost containment.
