What Lsu Health does

LSU Health Care Services Division (HCSD) is a public, state-owned healthcare delivery organization administratively joined to LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, operating within the Louisiana State University system. Its primary operating facility is Lallie Kemp Regional Medical Center, a 24-bed acute care critical access hospital located in Independence, Louisiana, which serves the rural Florida Parishes region of Southeast Louisiana — specifically Tangipahoa Parish and adjoining parishes. HCSD delivers comprehensive acute, ambulatory, and specialty healthcare services through inpatient care, a 24-hour emergency department, walk-in clinic, and specialty outpatient clinics covering cardiology, oncology, nephrology, urology, podiatry, wound care, diabetes, HIV/Infectious Disease, geriatrics, women's health, and related disciplines. Diagnostic capabilities include general radiography, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, 3D digital mammography, MRI, and laboratory services accredited by the Joint Commission, College of American Pathologists, and the American Association of Blood Banks.

HCSD's differentiating programmatic offering is its Healthcare Effectiveness platform, established in 1997, which concentrates on organizational change and systems management for population health, chronic disease management, preventive health and wellness, and data-driven quality measurement and improvement, anchored in the quadruple aim framework. Supporting infrastructure includes the MyChart patient portal, ADA-accredited Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support programs, and the Louisiana Tobacco Control Initiative smoking cessation services. Telemedicine partnerships with LSU School of Medicine providers extend specialty consult coverage in dermatology, heart failure, hepatitis C, neurology, PM&R, and rheumatology via video link. The organization maintains Joint Commission accreditation and has held NCQA Patient Centered Medical Home designation continuously since 2011.

Revenue derives primarily from patient care services at Lallie Kemp Regional Medical Center, supplemented by managed-services support — including revenue cycle management, claims processing, billing, and accounts receivable — provided to public-private partnership hospitals under cooperative endeavor agreements. Following the 2013-2014 transformation in which nine of ten LSU public hospitals transitioned to public-private partnerships, HCSD's direct delivery footprint narrowed to Lallie Kemp while retaining a centralized support role to five successor partnership hospitals: Our Lady of the Lake (Baton Rouge), University Medical Center New Orleans, University Hospitals and Clinics (Lafayette), Lake Charles Memorial Hospital, and Our Lady of the Angels Hospital (Bogalusa). As a government state entity, HCSD operates under Louisiana state governance with no private equity or venture capital ownership.
