The Future of Care Delivery
This state-of-the-art inpatient facility within West Tower will include features of our Ochsner Optimal Hospital, which are designed to improve safety, quality, and the overall patient experience. The Optimal Hospital program offers advanced, patient-centered care to our community using innovative devices, materials, and processes like:
- Tablets offered to patients to view their health data and daily schedule, learn about their care team and condition, take notes, and request comfort items, as well as access select entertainment portals.
- Wireless vitals monitors to continuously relay patients’ vitals directly to their medical records and to care team members’ phones in emergencies, while providing patients unrestricted mobility and minimal disruptions to collect health information.
- Nightly “quiet hours” and red night lights to minimize environmental sleep disturbances.
- Copper-infused antimicrobial bed sheets, gowns, towels and surfaces to provide supplemental protection against infections.
This expansion represents our relentless commitment to our community through developing new and innovative models of care.

I visited an endocrinologist at Ochsner, and in just one month, my diabetes and overall health have dramatically improved. The doctor was so knowledgeable of the most recent research in medicine and made changes to my medications and explained things nobody else had explained to me before. I felt that she genuinely and thoroughly care about me. My A1C was 9.2, and for my next visit, I’m projecting it to be 6.8 based upon my most recent daily averages.
Our Response:

GREAT! From the check-in to all the people who took care off me; the x-Ray techs (Michele and trainee Victoria), the assistants that rolled me from room to room, LOVED DOCTOR CHIMENTO, his assistant (Collen) that set up all the upcoming care I'll be needing. My daughter-in-law, Theresa, got me there at 8:15, but appointment wasn't until 9:30. Theresa told check-in that i was supposed to have x-rays, they called x-Ray and I was on my way! I was back home by 11. All in all, enjoyable visit! Looking forward to the upcoming surgeries. 😊 As far as patient safety... I have put off this very much needed hip surgery because I was afraid of the virus. Since I've been vaccinated I feel safer...but Ochsner is keeping all the safety protocols in place; mask, distance, constant disinfectant use. I feel very, very safe. 😊
