Executive Summary 2020: YEAR IN REVIEW The year 2020. When the year started, we knew little of what it had in store for us. In March, time stopped, and our lives changed. When I reflect, I especially recall how our teams were relentless to serve our customers in any way possible. We delivered and moved equipment; found iPads for our patients to talk to their families; built beds in our software system, created community testing sites and shared data with the state. We went live at two hospitals and countless clinics; implemented Zoom and Microsoft Teams, created new workflows so our clinicians could care for patients remotely and most of all WE NEVER STOPPED. In this 2020 year-in-review, you will see many accomplishments of the IS teams, but the most important accomplishment in my book is that we did it all TOGETHER. Our team has never been as strong as it is today, and we have never been able to accomplish so much. In 2020, the Year of the Nurse, I couldn’t have been happier to be a nurse on the Information Services team. Thank you for all you have done, are doing and will do. You truly are an amazing team. #OchsnerISConnected — Amy Trainor, Vice President, Clinical Systems

Vidyo Router Capacity Upgrade
Estimated Number of Virtual Visits completed with Interpreter Services for 2020 was 317.
Direct Dial through Vidyo for VIP Kenner
As of November, Virtual Nurses at VIP Kenner placed 57,145 calls through Vidyo.
Created a new workflow for Tyto Clinic at Urgent Cares
Creation of a new Virtual Visit Type with Interpreter Services
Virtual Rounding and Teletriage
Over 300 iPads configured and deployed for COVID response
The Accomplishments Added 4 new routers to the infrastructure to accommodate the influx of virtual visits to minimize downtime. Prior to the creation of the Visit Type 500 – Vidyo Visit w/ Interpreter, there was not a mechanism inside Epic to track nor provide this service. Worked with Zoom to add Stratus (Interpreting Service Company) as a participant in video visits with patients. Direct Dial is a feature we implemented to allow Virtual Nurses to call into a room via a button in Epic instead of doing a search inside the Vidyo application. This is to minimize the risk of calling a wrong room.
Upgrading the infrastructure and education to scale up Virtual Visits for the entire system

IS Success Stories 2020: YEAR IN REVIEW
Access: Virtual Visit Decision Trees 2020: Success Story Overview Decision trees play a crucial component of Ochsner’s scheduling workflows. Decision trees are used during a scheduling workflow to direct patients to schedule with appropriate providers based on the specialty and the patient’s reason for visit. Prior to Covid-19, most appointments in the organization were in-person appointments. When Covid-19 struck, a large portion of our in-office appointments were cancelled. Our patients still needed to receive care and were relying on us for options. The Access team immediately turned to virtual visits to provide patients a continuum of care without fear of exposure to Covid-19. Virtual visits are a secure video appointment with your provider that allows patients to conduct a traditional office visit electronically though their MyChart appt.
Details In March 2020, the Access team sprung to action and began developing a strategy to incorporate virtual visits in our scheduling workflows. Our strategy included a workflow for scheduling patients with the appropriate virtual visit appointment type: video, audio only, or video with an interpreter. The Access team would redesign and incorporate virtual visit options into our specialty decision trees, which only scheduled in-person appointments at that time. A decision tree modification typically requires multiple meetings and months of collaboration. The Access team worked closely with the Patient Experience and Access to Care teams to expedite the redesign process to a few weeks. Each specialty posed unique build challenges, but the Access team was able to innovate and provide solutions. The Access team completed the build to include virtual visit options for each specialty decision tree within weeks, providing specialties the workflows they needed to adapt and provide care virtually.
Accomplishments By the end of August 2020, the Access team completed the redesign and build of 50 specialty decision trees to include virtual visit appointment options. Virtual visit decision trees were also incorporated in scheduling workflows outside of specialty decision trees to ensure all patients were offered virtual visit appointments, when appropriate. The Access team’s dedicated hard-work and innovative workflows helped schedule and complete more than 140,000 virtual visit appointments in 2020.
Feedback “Thanks to the virtual visits, our patients have access to healthcare from the comfort and safety of their home. LEP and ASL patients, have access to healthcare from the comfort and safety of their home, just like all the other patients.” – Marta Hand, Language Services “The whole process of introducing virtual visits, working with all of the clinic leaders to build out their long-term strategies, incorporating into our decision trees...it has been a huge project for everyone involved. I’m super proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time. The fact that virtual visits will continue long after Covid-19 shows how successful this has been for our patients and our clinics.” – Kristen Tate, Access to Care
Business Productivity Tools Training 2020: Success Story Overview Business productivity software is defined as an application software that is used for producing business information such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations, digital images, videos, etc. If used correctly and efficiently it can increase an employee’s productivity leading to higher employee engagement. Having the right training at the right time is an integral part of that efficient use and software adoption.
Details Larissa Rachel and Emily Aucoin identified a need to implement training curriculums for Ochsner’s business productivity software. At the start of the year, there was a plan to a introduce curriculums for the Microsoft suite of products. The need to create these curriculums quickly escalated as Ochsner’s business offices moved to remote work. As part of the remote work solution, Operations made the decision to shorten the implementation timelines for Zoom and Microsoft Teams from four months to less than one month. Larissa and Emily partnered with the Telecom Team, Desktop Development Team, Zoom and Microsoft to provide education quickly and efficiently to the system. By partnering with the local Microsoft Store, we were able to offer twenty-seven Microsoft Teams instructor led virtual classes and helped keep their staff employed. In addition to coordinating the virtual instruction from the vendors, Larissa and Emily implemented a Business Productivity Tools Training site to act as a hub for educational documents, videos, eLearnings, etc. for various productivity software solutions.
Accomplishments Launched Business Productivity Tools SharePoint site as an educational hub in March Published nine curriculums: Forms, OneDrive, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Teams, Zoom, Zoom for Admins and Zoom for Instructors Established monthly IS Learning articles published Ochweb beginning in June with 2583 views across all articles Developed relationships with internal communications and OLI for inclusion in published education Partnered with O2 Productions for monthly learning topics “Become a Video Conference Champ” and “Keys to Success for Leaders Using Teams”
Feedback No formal surveys were shared, but the positive response is displayed by the numbers of engagement: 1587 learners in instructor led virtual courses 1774 eLearning course completions in OLN 21093 Business Productivity site views

Clin-Doc COVID-19 Response 2020: Success Story Overview As our entire system had to pivot their focus to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Inpatient Clin-Doc team did as well in a tremendous effort to support our frontline clinicians and system as a whole in order to ensure that patients could continue to be cared for in the same ways prior to the pandemic.
Details Multiple departments were created, and a variety of departments were expanded in record time in order to accommodate the increased number and acuity of patients in the hospital. Along with these departments, devices such as ventilators and vital sign monitors were updated or created to allow for seamless integration of data into Epic. Other large projects were also part of our COVID-19 response, including allowing texting for friends and family members and the creation of Disaster Required Documentation. Additionally, Clin-Doc was in charge of reviewing any daily updates that Epic was putting out and making teams aware of new opportunities to streamline and improve care within the system.
Accomplishments Creation or updates to more than 1000 devices 205 New ICU Beds Created Multiple new departments created or changed in order to accommodate the increase in COVID-19 patients Creation of new workflow – Text Messages for friends and family for Admitted Patients Reduction in amount of documentation – Disaster Required Documentation Oversight of Ochsner’s initial COVID-19 response with updates to IS leaders
Feedback Highlighted in 2021 System Leadership meeting for tremendous work done in order to facilitate the COVID-19 response.
135
Clin-Doc Rehab Module Implementation 2020: Success Story Overview With the new Rehab module, rehab and therapy documentation in Epic has taken a big step forward. This module provides rehab users with new and improved tools that are dedicated to helping your organization meet regulatory requirements for rehab-specific workflows.
Details The rehab module makes completing workflows for inpatient rehab facility patient assessment instruments (IRF-PAIs) which are created for medicare patients and are required for CMS reimbursement. Therapists don’t need calculators to track how many therapy minutes their patients need to meet CMS requirements. PPS coordinators can put away the paper IRF-PAI forms and can be completed in Epic. Coders can quickly ensure the case mix group (CMG) codes on patients’ claims match the codes on their IRF-PAIs.
Accomplishments Documentation can be completed in Epic, and we have gone live at Terrebonne and Titus on 11/8/2020.
Feedback Clinicians like it for the most part and are still learning how to use the new tools.
136
Clin-Doc Texting Friends, Family about Admitted Patients 2020: Success Story Overview When a patient's family and friends can't visit, they can feel anxious and out of the loop as they wait for updates. Clinicians can now help the patient's companions plan their time and have some peace of mind by sending them notifications about the patient's progress through text message or email. This feature also saves clinicians time because they don't need to pause in their care of the patient to find and communicate with those who want to receive progress updates.
Details Nurses and Providers can free-text or select pre-configured message updates to send patient’s family or friends as text messages if they’re on the patient’s contacts list.
Accomplishments Allows our patient’s closest contacts to remain connected and informed during the COVID-19 pandemic when we have had to implement restrictions on visitors.
Feedback Well received by patients as well as clinicians – clinicians appreciated this so much that this was originally intended just for bedside nurses and has been expanded to providers and other groups.
137
Clin-Doc Nursing Assignment Wizard 2020: Success Story
Overview The enhancements allow managers to automatically see their staffing schedules for kronos within Epic, and quickly add patients to the nurse’s treatment team and monitor workload.
Details The schedule allows leaders to plan for their units staffing up to 28 days in advance and uploads changes daily at 5:30 AM and 5:30 PM to give the users the most up to date information on their staff.
Accomplishments Live at Kenner and St. Bernard IP departments with system wide roll out early February 2021.
Feedback Nursing leaders love the new feature and integration within Epic.
138
Clin-Doc Disaster Required Documentation 2020: Success Story
Overview In March of 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, nursing leadership identified a need to alleviate documentation requirements on Ochsner’s overwhelmed nursing staff.
Details The ClinDoc Team worked with nursing leadership to implement the reduced documentation requirements. The disaster required documentation has been configured in such a way that it can be easily enabled or disabled when the need is present, for example with COVID surges and hurricane season.
Accomplishments Implementation and development of the new disaster required documentation that can be utilized as determined by operational leadership.
Feedback Nurses are appreciative of the decreased burden of documentation in order to have more time to focus on direct patient care.
139
Clin-Doc CRRT Calculator 2020: Success Story Overview Previously, calculations to manage CRRT machines were performed on paper. In addition, there were differences in practice between providers throughout the system. By utilizing the CRRT calculator, we have brought these calculations into Epic to reduce the amount of manual work and chance of error with these calculations. In doing so, we have also consolidated provider practices and now have a single, unified way of managing intake and output on CRRT patients.
Details The CRRT calculator functions on a flowsheet that nurses already utilize, allowing them to complete this workflow on a workspace they are already familiar with. Intake and Output values to be considered with CRRT are now consistent throughout the system, allowing for nurses to float to other hospitals with less confusion.
Accomplishments Development and implementation of the CRRT calculator with help from operations. Movement of these calculations from paper to Epic as well as consolidation of practice differences. Education of nurses on how to utilize these calculators.
Feedback Nurses were excited to be able to perform this documentation within Epic, allowing for some automation and reduction of effort in managing these patients.

Clin-Doc Behavioral Health Strategic Priority 2020: Success Story
Overview New Behavioral Health Strategic Priority was created and owned by Clin-Doc team in order to unify the operational service line goals with IS goals.
Details Have an interdisciplinary team representing all of the areas of Behavioral Health throughout the Ochsner system and are meeting together monthly to find IT solutions to provide a better patient experience and provide our clinicians with the best tools available.
Accomplishments Creation of the behavioral health dashboard to effectively monitor restraint compliance, falls, suicide precaution, and monitoring clinical trials. Implementation of postpartum depression screenings on well child visits for mothers.
Feedback Service line leaders appreciate the unified approach and new focus on the behavioral health service line.

Data Integration & Asset Teams Donate 10 Laptops 2020: Success Story Overview Ochsner donated 10 laptops to the New Orleans St. Vincent de Paul Adult Learning Center in October 2020.
Details Charlie Luther, from the Data Integration team, remembered Ochsner offered a Laptop Donation Service when his friend Matt indicated he had a need. Matt is an English professor at Tulane and volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul helping adults get ready to take their HISET exam (Louisiana’s GEDequivalent).

Feedback FROM: Sister Mary Bonita Sniegowski, S.N.D., Director Adult education is a great need in the city of New Orleans. At our Adult Learning Center, we normally work with 50-60 students a year, but because of COVID-19 restrictions, we are currently teaching only 12-15 students. Some will persevere and stay with the program for one to two years in order to complete the necessary study for obtaining a GED, or high school equivalency diploma. Others, for various reasons, will stop coming, but we believe that even a few months at the Center can help individuals improve their skills. We use various methods of instruction to prepare the students to take the HiSET (High School Equivalency Test): individual tutoring, small group classes, and computer-based lessons. We have purchased an on-line program, HiSET Academy, which students can even access from home. Since the HiSET test is taken on computer, we encourage students to learn keyboarding and other computer skills. Being familiar with computers is an urgent need for all our students. How grateful we are for your generous donation of ten laptop computers. They are welcome gifts that are being used by teachers and students. Know that your donation is a tremendous benefit to our program. 142
