Digital Medicine Programs
Ochsner's digital medicine programs for hypertension, diabetes, COPD and asthma allow real-time patient data to be shared with a care team, enabling immediate medical and lifestyle adjustments.
Ochsner Health System broke new ground by integrating Apple's HealthKit with its electronic health record system, Epic. Now patient data – such as blood pressure readings or weights – get shared automatically with their care team through their electronic health record.
Chronic Disease Management Programs
Our primary care team is dedicated to getting patients well and helping them stay healthy through annual exams, immunizations, health risk assessments and coordinated care for chronic conditions.
Employees' primary care physicians can also refer them to these programs, which are designed to improve wellness and on-the-job productivity. In addition to our digital medicine programs, chronic disease management programs include:
Healthy Back
This comprehensive treatment approach for patients with chronic neck and back pain includes physician assessments, physical therapy and health coaching
Smoking Cessation
Ochsner's comprehensive smoking cessation clinic enrolls Louisiana residents who started smoking before 1988. Employees who qualify can enroll at no cost.
