We continue to provide inpatient psychiatric services at our flagship hospital, Ochsner Medical Center New Orleans, outpatient mental health services and clinical psychiatric services. The system-wide Opioid Stewardship Committee continues to develop best-practices in decreasing the use of opioids.

Through Ochsner's TelePsych program, 2,594 psych consultations were completed throughout the health system, removing distance as a barrier to mental health services.
