Oklahoma Health Care Authority Strategic Plan 2027-2031
The Oklahoma Health Care Authority's Strategic Plan for FY 2027-31 aims to ensure Oklahomans have access to quality healthcare regardless of their ability to pay, by responsibly purchasing healthcare, optimizing accessibility, and improving health outcomes. Key strategic areas include modernizing program delivery in alignment with federal mandates (H.R. 1) and the Rural Health Transformation Program, advancing value-based care, establishing a unified health data utility, and expanding access through decentralized and virtual care. The plan also prioritizes fiscal responsibility by maintaining administrative costs, managing program growth, and controlling EGID healthcare premium costs. Additionally, it focuses on improving health outcomes through increased primary care services and reduced emergency department visits, fostering high-performing teams, and achieving operational excellence through technology modernization and efficient management processes.
