Ochsner 65 Plus is an advanced PC model, not volume driven, no RVU treadmill. We want good doctors who enjoy the practice of medicine. Provide the needed care with 60-minute initial consults and 40-minute follow-ups. Patient panels average 500 and are CAPPED at 500.
Ochsner 65 Plus offers a complete care team to meet each participant’s unique healthcare goals. Our collaborative team works together throughout the Ochsner system to provide the highest quality care. We understand the needs of older adults in the area because we live here, too. The care team includes Physicians, APP’s, Clinical Pharmacist, Nurse Care Manager, Social Worker, Dietitian, Health Coach, Fitness Instructor, and Physical Therapist. Each provider has their own RN, MA, and a shared Social Worker.
Ochsner 65 Plus was created to treat the health conditions many older adults experience including arthritis and painful joints, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dementia, diabetes, general weakness and frailty, and heart failure.
Ochsner Plus is more than just primary care. Ochsner 65 Plus participants have access to doctors and specialty treatments throughout the entire Ochsner network. The focus is on customized care, ensuring participants feel well inside and out.
Ochsner’s Epic EMR software makes it possible for every patient to have a single, comprehensive medical record that informs and is informed by their health experiences. The goal is higher-quality, more personalized care that's simpler for patients, medical professionals, and everyone who makes healthcare happen.
