In this conversation, Stacey Richter engages with healthcare leader Dr. Beau Raymond from Ochsner Health Network to explore the blueprint for better patient care through enlightened leadership, data-driven strategies, and localized health initiatives. The discussion covers shifting from 'sick care' to preventative healthcare, integrating technology and data tools like glucometers for health coaching, and addressing health equity through accurate data and regional strategies.

The conversation explains the importance of stakeholder engagement, setting clear goals, financial incentives aligned with patient care, and continuous improvement through feedback loops. Practical steps such as weekly huddles for primary care teams and the role of digital health in managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension are also highlighted to improve healthcare outcomes and operational excellence. A rate critical to attain better care for patients, I’m gonna say, is enlightened leadership—maybe dyad leadership—at a clinical organization. I am saying this because without enlightened leaders, it’d be harder to build from the blueprint that Beau Raymond, MD, talks about today on the show. 10:44 Why is it important to be flexible while keeping your goals in sight? 11:48 Dr. Eboni Price-Haywood’s article on disparities in COVID. 12:29 How is equity a data point to achieving overall care improvement? 15:01 “If you can’t measure it … accurately, you’re not going to be able to do anything differently.” 20:52 What strategies have been successful in using data to improve healthcare outcomes? 23:17 Why did Ochsner Health avoid looking at the individual physician standpoint in regard to an equity standpoint? 30:40 Why engaging patients in their healthcare actually improved patient visits and did not necessarily reduce patient visits. 34:49 “It’s really about engaging with the patient.”
