Indiana Hospital Association

What Indiana Hospital Association does

Indiana Hospital Association (IHA) is a 100+ year old nonprofit professional trade association headquartered at 500 N. Meridian St., Suite 250, Indianapolis, Indiana. It represents 160-172 Hoosier hospitals and health systems spanning all 92 Indiana counties, including acute care, critical access, behavioral health, and specialized facilities. IHA's members collectively generate over $63 billion in annual economic activity (2024), directly employ 111,520 Hoosiers, deliver approximately 77,000 babies per year, and provide $3.9 billion in community benefits. The organization is led by President Scott B. Tittle (appointed November 25, 2024), with a hospital-executive board chaired for 2025 by Deaconess Health System CEO Shawn McCoy and for 2026 by Dr. Jim Callaghan.

IHA's product and technology stack centers on a closed IHA Member Portal (my.ihaconnect.org) hosting IHA DataLink (a Tableau-powered business intelligence module over INHDS data), the quarterly Indiana State Payor Scorecard (claims analytics from 70+ hospitals produced with Endorsed Business Partner Kodiak Solutions), the Indiana INspire Hospitals recognition program, the Safe and Sound workplace violence prevention initiative (launched 2023), and a calendar of summits and webinars. Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring membership dues from 160+ hospitals (subscription), fees from Endorsed Business Partners — including AblePay, AMN Healthcare, CorroHealth, Dexur, Gallagher, HSG Advisors, Medical Solutions, SunRx, and others — gaining curated network access via partners.ihaconnect.org (affiliate referral), and corporate sponsorships of events and the Partner Perspectives Webinar Series (affiliate referral). Go-to-market is membership-driven: direct engagement, events, policy advocacy, and programmatic content replace traditional sales infrastructure.

Strategically, IHA's most material outputs are regulatory: Indiana became the first U.S. state to pass SEA 189 blocking insurer penalties on out-of-network provider care, secured federal CMS approval for Medicaid Hospital Assessment Fee and State Directed Payment reforms, and advanced multiple healthcare-worker protection bills (SB 419, HEA 1249). Its own staff headcount is modest (11-50 per firmographics), but the institution operates as the de facto voice of the Indiana hospital sector and is governed directly by member-hospital CEOs through the board structure.
