Since 1972, Oklahoma Foundation for Medical Quality has played an integral role in improving health care and improving lives in Oklahoma. An independent non profit organization, we serve the health community and the public through state and national partnerships that advance healthcare quality.
As the state-based Quality Improvement Organization (QIO), contracted through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), we provide in-depth quality evaluation and improvement programs for Oklahoma health providers and Medicare beneficiaries. We support the nation-wide QIO program in our role as National Coordinating Center, and we develop measures that are used on a national scale to help payers evaluate quality performance.
OFMQ is the Health Information Technology Regional Extension Center (REC) for the state of Oklahoma. We are the only group in Oklahoma dedicated to working with providers on choosing and implementing an EHR system, reaching meaningful use and collecting incentive payments.
