Oklahoma Hospital Association

What Oklahoma Hospital Association does

The Oklahoma Hospital Association (OHA), founded in 1919 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, is a private non-profit membership association serving as the unified voice of hospitals and health systems across Oklahoma. OHA represents more than 135 hospitals and 21 health systems, providing legislative advocacy at state and federal levels, educational programming, quality and finance data services, group purchasing through its Preferred Partner Network, and health improvement initiatives spanning tobacco cessation, rural health, and community health programs. The organization operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries: OHA Health Services (shared services including group purchasing, pharmacy programs, revenue cycle management, HR solutions, and supply chain) and the Foundation for a Healthy Oklahoma (health improvement initiatives).

OHA's core technology infrastructure consists of a web-based member portal, an online education delivery platform for live seminars, webinars, and streaming video, and the OHA Quality & Finance Portal — a data analytics platform developed in partnership with HANYS DataGen that delivers quality, finance, and regulatory reports to member hospitals. Additional technology assets include the Pulsara statewide EMS Centralization communication and imaging platform (funded through the OSDH Rural Health Transformation Program) and the "Our Promise to Oklahoma" public data portal. OHA coordinates 11 affiliated professional societies covering healthcare engineering, medical staff services, health information management, healthcare financial management, nurse executives, psychiatric hospitals, quality and risk management, volunteer services, and healthcare strategy.

OHA's business model is diversified across four primary revenue streams: (1) recurring annual membership dues structured by member type (Type I short-term hospitals, Type II federal/long-term, Type III health system corporate, Type IV-A/B non-hospital organizations), (2) educational program and event revenue including the annual OHA Connect conference, (3) Preferred Partner Network fees from vendors accessing member hospitals, and (4) corporate sponsorships and underwriting (e.g., PYA as Platinum Underwriter). The organization also receives pass-through grant funding such as the $21.9M TSET Legacy Grant and pursues strategic partnerships (Premier, Inc.; Woligo Health Solutions) to expand member value. OHA is governed by a board of member hospital executives and operates as a typical state hospital association model.
