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.

My husband Mike went for consult with Dr Brinster. We were afraid and overwhelmed. BUT the moment Dr. Brinster walked in, we felt 1000 times better. Dr Brinster was kind, compassionate, professional, extremely knowledgable. He explained everything about the procedures and surgery to us in simplest terms. Dr Brinster was GREAT! Looking forward to moving ahead with surgery. THANK YOU Dr. Brinster.

I had to wait awhile before my doctor showed up for appointment. I guess trying to make virtual visit more like in person visit, hahaha. When she showed up she taught me how to get the audio working on my end. She asked all the pertinent questions of me and then asked if I had any concerns that she hadn’t covered. She is very personable and really cares about her patients.

I was there for over a week and everyone was super nice. One problem I had was I saw so many different faces each day I didn't know who was the doctor and who was the janitor. They would come into my room assuming I knew who they were. Another problem I had was medicines a doctor recited from the chart that he said I was on were actually locked up somewhere and I was not given them each day.

I am very impressed with the staff i dealt with in the lung transplant department on Mar.25th. I loved them all and especially want to mention my nurse Linda. She is an absolute angle and a blessing indeed for someone in my condition that day. So much so that when the folks didnt show to wheel me back to my vehicle afterwards she took me there herself!!
Our Response:

I can feel Dr. Dendy's interest in finding a cure to my ailment. He is also very thorough in explaining how he is trying to pin point the possible cause(s). He explains my treatment plan very well. He gave me different medication alternatives considering my current health issues. I appreciate that he initially asked my permission if a medical student could be present. I absolutely support doctors mentoring young doctors and involve them in real cases. I truly believe Dr. Dendy is an excellent doctor.

Ochsner as usual was on time with appointment and the doctor efficient and helpful. I'm never disappointed by delays. Also like the ability to look at the test results online as well as setting appointments and using the pre-checkin and prepayment option.
