Talk of transforming the way health care is provided, paid for and implemented in the state has begun in Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Health Care Authority board on Thursday heard a presentation by Oklahoma Hospital Association President Craig Jones about the future of the state’s health care system. Oklahoma was ranked 46th in overall health by America’s Health Rankings in its 2014 report.
“We believe this will be an important part of the discussion going into the next legislative session,” OHCA Chief Executive Officer Nico Gomez said.
The presentation, which was developed in conjunction with national consultant Manatt Health, represents a discussion about how the state can improve the health care its providing in the future, not a plan for immediate legislative action.
