Building a Healthier Community
In the six years since our inception, OHN’s team approach has achieved optimal care in every major patient health risk category we measure. With compliance rates of 80 percent for hypertension control and 86 percent for chronic kidney disease screening, we’re establishing a proven record of success and a very positive trend for the future.
One way we’re achieving these goals is through the Ochsner Accountable Care Network (OACN), a collaboration of over 2,700 providers working together to provide and improve the quality and value of care being provided to over 35,000 Medicare beneficiaries across Louisiana and Mississippi.
In 2020 OACN reduced their expected cost of care by more than $30.3 million, representing a 163 percent increase in savings since 2017. OACN seamlessly coordinates care to increase efficiency and keep patients healthy at home.
