Policy Framework: Ensuring Access to Healthcare Services while Redesigning Louisiana's Healthcare Delivery System
January 2006
Louisiana Hospital Association
In an effort to develop a unified policy framework for redesigning Louisiana’s healthcare services in the wake of Hurricane’s Katrina and Rita, the Louisiana Hospital Association engaged The Lewin Group to conduct a series of interviews with healthcare, education, business and government leaders across the state to gather information regarding both short-term and long-term needs of the industry. The resulting report describes a series of proposed federal and state policy initiatives that would facilitate cost-effective redesign of Louisiana's healthcare delivery system.
