Success

As an independent primary care physician and partner, OHN and OACN, in West Feliciana, Louisiana, Dr. Chaillie Daniel’s patient population is truly diverse in age, payor mix, and socioeconomic and health status. He notes that Epic has enabled efficiency and effectiveness in addressing the needs of this diverse population and, in turn, has led to the success demonstrated by this year’s outstanding MSSP results. “Having access to this level of network data allows us as physicians to truly move the needle in the overall health of entire populations,” says Dr. Daniel. “As a healthcare network of like-minded providers and staff, we love what we do and are grateful for the opportunity to make a difference.” To Dr. Daniel, the network's shared savings results three years running demonstrate that when physicians work collaboratively, they do, in fact, improve the health of entire populations. “The tangible outcomes, rewards and cost reductions motivate our staff to continue raising the bar for the good of our patients and for the privilege of serving,” Dr. Daniel continues. “Without a doubt, this kind of impact in the lives of my patients and, by extension, communities, fosters the joy in my daily work, and harkens back to the very reason I decided to become a physician.”
