Engaging physician leaders for improved outcomes.

elivery of health care services to patients is facing extreme levels of change and challenge, ushered in not just by the Affordable Care Act, but also by demands from insurers, payers and employers for improved approaches. At Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge, La., the goal of our quality improvement efforts is — as always — to improve patient care. But we also want to better position ourselves for more rapid success in any of the new models such as clinical networks, coordinated care, accountable care organizations and medical homes. D
