#JustLead is a new AHA’s podcast series highlighting how hospitals and health systems that have been recognized with AHA Awards for innovation, collaboration, and health equity are transforming health care for their communities.

Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans was a 2022 finalist for AHA’s Quest for Quality Prize, presented annually to honor leadership and innovation in achieving high-quality health care and advancing health in communities. In this podcast, Dr. Armin Schubert, vice president for medical affairs, and Dr. Ryan Truxillo, a family medicine specialist, discuss how Ochsner confronted the problem of patient deterioration and made process changes that resulted in dramatic improvement over a two-year period.
