The SBPH Service District Board approved a long-term strategic partnership with Ochsner Health System in September 2017 to continue day-to-day management of SBPH. Patients of the hospital and clinics get the benefit of Epic, Ochsner’s electronic health record system, which safely and securely shares patient information, and MyOchsner. Epic allows physicians, nurses and care teams to access important patient information across the system, no matter which facility a patient visits. With MyOchsner, patients can securely request and schedule medical appointments, pay medical bills, view their health summary and test results, request prescription renewals, access trusted health information resources, and communicate electronically and securely with their healthcare team. Once our patients have established an account, our team of clinicians from across the system will be able to access and update their information no matter where you are, creating a truly integrated approach to your care.
SBPH provides high-quality, comprehensive care in its state-of-the-art facility. The hospital’s team of more than 350 employees and 90 physicians offer services including 24/7 emergency care, comprehensive imaging and a variety of specialties.
