MyHealth Access Network

We’re proud to share newly published research in Drug Safety exploring how health information exchanges (HIEs) may support population-based post-market surveillance of medical products through work connected to the FDA Sentinel Initiative.

The study examined data from MyHealth Access Network, Oklahoma’s statewide HIE, and its potential role in advancing real-world evidence and population health research.

The research highlights how connected health data infrastructure can help support broader healthcare innovation, public health insight, and future collaboration between healthcare, research, and regulatory organizations.

Congratulations to all who contributed to this work, including David Kendrick, MD, MPH, FACP, MyHealth Data Scientist Jenny Sun, Ph.D, and MyHealth Director of Clinical Informatics Katy Decker, DNP, MBA.

This week, we’re recognizing and celebrating the EMS professionals who provide critical care and rapid response for communities across Oklahoma during EMS Week.

Emergency medical services teams are often the first point of care during some of life’s most urgent moments. Their work requires quick decision-making, coordination, and access to timely information that can help support patient care.

We’re proud to work alongside EMS organizations across Oklahoma, including Pafford EMS, Medford EMS, the Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA), and the City of Broken Arrow Fire Department, as part of our statewide health information exchange network.

Thank you to the EMS professionals who serve patients and communities across our state every day.

This National Women’s Health Week, remember: your health matters, and your voice does too.

From annual checkups to asking questions and seeking second opinions, taking an active role in your healthcare can make a meaningful difference. The HHS Office on Women’s Health shared helpful reminders about preparing for appointments, advocating for yourself, prioritizing self-care, and staying informed about your health.

A few takeaways:
• Write down questions and symptoms before appointments
• Be open and honest with your healthcare provider
• Know your rights as a patient
• Follow up on tests, referrals, and treatment plans
• Prioritize both physical and mental health
At MyHealth, we believe informed, connected care helps empower healthier communities across Oklahoma.

We’re excited to welcome a few new faces to the MyHealth team. Help us say hello to Carly, Pete, and Emma.

Carly Forgrave joins us as a Marketing Specialist. Outside of work, she enjoys knitting and is currently learning how to spin and dye her own yarn. Safe to say, creativity comes naturally to her.

Pete Walton joins as a Community and Network Engagement Manager. When he’s not working to strengthen relationships on behalf of MyHealth, you’ll likely find him near the water, whether that’s boating, scuba diving, or soaking up the sun.

Emma Cooper also joins our team as a Healthcare Data Quality Lead. She stays busy outside the office with golfing, pickleball, camping, and spending time on the water. Most of all, she enjoys making memories and taking adventures with her family.

We’re glad to have all three of them on board and look forward to the impact they’ll make at MyHealth Access Network.

🌟 Celebrating Administrative Professionals Day 🌟

Today, we’re recognizing Denise Dennis and the steady force behind so much of what keeps our organization running smoothly.

Denise plays a critical role in supporting our team and leadership with precision, consistency, and care. From managing the details that keep daily operations on track to anticipating needs before they arise, Denise brings a level of excellence that touches every part of MyHealth. Her impact is felt across the organization, even in the moments that happen behind the scenes.

Thank you for the dedication, professionalism, and heart you bring to your work each day. We are incredibly grateful for you.

Spring in Oklahoma means blooming trees, warmer days… and allergy season.

If you’re dealing with itchy eyes, sneezing, or that constant “is it allergies or a cold?” feeling, you’re definitely not alone.

This time of year can be beautiful, but it can also be a little rough on sinuses. A little extra rest, hydration, and fresh air (when you can tolerate it) can go a long way.

Here’s to enjoying the season, pollen and all.

“With MyHealth, patients no longer carry the weight of remembering their full care history, and care teams no longer have to chase down critical medical information.”

That’s the difference better access to information can make.

In our latest case study with Central Oklahoma Family Medical Center, providers gained more complete patient histories, reduced duplicate work, and were able to focus more on meaningful patient care.

Behind every diagnosis is a team you may not always see.

Medical laboratory professionals play a critical role in healthcare, providing results and insights that guide clinical decisions every day.

Their work ensures that providers have accurate, timely information to deliver the best possible care.

This week, we recognize and thank the laboratory professionals whose expertise helps keep healthcare moving forward.

Public health is about people, partnerships, and action.

This National Public Health Week, we’re joining partners across the country to “Flood the Feed” with messages that highlight the impact of public health in our communities.

At MyHealth Access Network, that means strengthening connections, improving access to health information, and supporting better outcomes across Oklahoma.
