Center for Health Systems Innovation
CHSI is filling the gap
in Oklahoma healthcare
Approximately 75 million US citizens, representing over 20% of the population, and
over 1 million Oklahomans, representing over 30% of the population, live in rural
areas. These populations live with inadequate health care, poor access and inferior
outcomes when compared to their urban counterparts. This makes the rural markets America’s
largest health disparity zone.
Real change
for rural and Native Oklahomans
Our mission is to transform rural and Native American health through the implementation
of innovative care delivery and predictive analytic solutions. The Center is focused
on not only innovating solutions but, more importantly, implementing those innovations.
The Center operates in these areas:
Healthcare Delivery Innovation: This group focuses on wellness, mental health and clinic efficiency.
OSU Health Access Network: This group provides case management for high-risk SoonerCare Choice patients.
Data Analytics: This group focuses on data mining and predictive medicine.
Our focal point * do we want to keep this content?
is rural primary care and Native American health
Data analytics manages and mines one of the largest HIPAA compliant relational databases
to better understand the practice of medicine, leverage the wealth of patient data
for improved outcomes and to build predictive health models. Additionally, we also
partner with research facilities, corporations, health providers, agencies and academic
institutions as well as utilize social media, Oklahoma and National health data and
other public data sources to increase the amount and diversity of our data. OSU is a land grant institution with a long record of improving the lives of rural
Oklahoma.
