Oklahoma § 56-1011.6 - Disease management program

§ 56-1011.6. Disease management program

A. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority shall develop a formal

program for disease management to improve the quality of care and

reduce the cost of care. The Authority is authorized to contract

for the development of the program if contracting is more cost

effective to the state than developing the program internally. The

disease management program may utilize pharmacy services including,

but not limited to, Medication Management Therapy. The program may

include, but not be limited to, asthma, diabetes, chronic

obstructive pulmonary disease, renal disease and/or congestive heart

failure.

4. Quality measurements of program structure, performance

indicators, and outcome measures; and

5. Reporting of outcome measure data.

B. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority shall evaluate and report

findings to the Governor and the Legislature no later than eighteen

(18) months after the start of the program.
