Summary:When Hurricane Katrina struck Louisiana last August, it ravaged the healthcare system, which has since been struggling to cope with day-to-day challenges while also preparing for the future. The The Louisiana Recovery Authority (LRA) has been working to develop a blueprint for an equitable, affordable, high-quality healthcare system that's also equipped to respond to future disasters. In this installment of Straight Talk, representatives from Franciscan Missionaries Of Our Lady Health System, Baton Rouge, and Ochsner Health System, New Orleans, discuss the present and future state of healthcare in Louisiana. Modern Healthcare and PricewaterhouseCoopers present Straight Talk. The session on rebuilding Louisiana was held on June 8, 2006 at Modern Healthcare's Chicago headquarters. Fawn Lopez, publisher of Modern Healthcare, was the moderator.
