OSU Medical Center

What OSU Medical Center does

OSU Medical Center (Oklahoma State University Medical Center) is a 235-bed acute care public teaching hospital located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, founded in 1951 and operated by Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences. It is one of the largest osteopathic teaching hospitals in the United States, training approximately 280 medical residents and fellows across Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Surgery, OB/GYN, Orthopedic Surgery, and Cardiology, with residency capacity projected to grow to 300+ upon completion of planned expansion projects. The hospital operates across 12 major service lines spanning emergency and Level 3 trauma care, cardiovascular medicine (including a two-lab cardiac catheterization facility), maternal child health, wound care with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, inpatient dialysis, diagnostic imaging with interventional radiology, rehabilitation, sleep medicine, surgical services, respiratory therapy, and diabetes/nutrition education. It processed approximately 45,000 patient encounters in the most recent year (110 average daily volume) across 25 fixed ER beds and 23 ICU beds on a 556,000 sq ft main campus, supplemented by 10 OSU Medicine outpatient clinics in the surrounding Physicians Office Building and Houston Center.

The hospital generates revenue through three primary streams: facility fees for hospital services (emergency, inpatient, surgical, imaging, lab, respiratory, dialysis, rehabilitation, wound care), separately billed professional fees for physicians and specialists, and outpatient clinic visit fees; it also publishes CMS-mandated price transparency and DRG charge listings. Technically, the hospital combines standard acute care infrastructure with specialized clinical equipment (cardiac cath labs with intravascular ultrasound and percutaneous LV assist devices, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, Fresenius BlueStar hemodialysis machines with CRRT capability, RAPID-based CT perfusion imaging, and a 24/7 neuro telemedicine link for stroke). It recently completed a back-office modernization — Oracle Fusion Cloud Workforce Scheduling implemented with Alithya in April 2025 — consolidating five legacy systems across Finance, Supply Chain, HR, and IT across 30 departments, yielding a 20% improvement in time to close books and a 12% reduction in manual journal entries. The hospital holds DNV Primary Stroke Center certification and the American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines Silver Plus Award, is in compliance with the federal No Surprises Act, and operates as a government state entity with no private equity or venture capital ownership.
