Ochsner’s longstanding tradition of bringing physicians together to improve health outcomes continues today. Our goals are to work together with our referring providers to serve the needs of patients and to provide coordinated treatment through partnerships that put patients first. We have automated physician-to-physician patient care summaries for hospital encounters and enhanced the patient experience by giving patients the ability to schedule appointments online. Ochsner also opened the O Bar, an interactive center that engages patients using technology.
Close coordination and collaboration begin with transparency and access to the
data necessary for you to make informed decisions when advising your patients about care options. Ochsner Outcomes, a compilation of clinical data, represents only part of our efforts to better define the quality of Ochsner’s care and to share that information with you.
Trusted, independent organizations give Ochsner’s quality the highest marks: Ochsner Medical Center was the only healthcare institution in Louisiana to receive national rankings in nine specialties from U.S. News & World Report for 2014–2015. Additionally, Comparion CareChex® selected Ochsner Medical Center as the #2 hospital in the nation for Overall Hospital Care for Medical Excellence, and Ochsner was recognized as one of the Truven Top 100 Hospitals® for Quality in 2014.
Ochsner consistently earns the respect of independent evaluators. We do not rest on these achievements, but use them as a benchmark to continuously improve.
We will continue to share the data you need to care for your patients, provide services you may not have in your community and develop collaborative relationships essential to ensure the best outcomes for every patient, every time.
