This partnership will improve follow-up care and enhance patient outcomes by creating a high-reliability program for radiology findings.
ATLANTA, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- St. Tammany Health System (STHS) has announced a strategic partnership with Inflo Health, a leader in high-reliability follow-up solutions for radiology, to advance the quality and safety of patient care in St. Tammany. This collaboration reflects the health system's unwavering commitment to delivering world-class healthcare close to home and its responsiveness to the needs of the Northshore community.
Building on its legacy of excellence, including an unparalleled streak of 18 consecutive "A" grades for patient safety from The Leapfrog Group—the only health system in Louisiana with this record—STHS is further investing in solutions that ensure actionable findings are effectively addressed. The integration of Inflo Health's follow-up solution is a key step in enhancing patient outcomes and transforming care delivery.
"Inflo Health provides the critical bridge between a radiology finding and the patient appointment," said Melonie Lagalante, AVP of Diagnostic and Outpatient Services at STHS. "This partnership allows us to leverage our investments in disease detection and translate them into measurable quality outcomes, ultimately improving the patient experience."
As a leading healthcare provider in western and northern St. Tammany region, STHS offers a wide range of advanced medical services while prioritizing affordability, access to care, and the expansion of specialty services. This is done through partnerships and collaboration.
A cornerstone of the new partnership with Inflo Health will be STHS's participation in the American College of Radiology (ACR) Learning Network ImPower Program. As an ACR Learning Network Vendor Partner, Inflo Health will work closely with STHS throughout the program to establish a comprehensive follow-up care structure and enhance quality performance initiatives.
"St. Tammany Health System places patient well-being at the heart of everything it does," said Angela Adams, RN, Chief Executive Officer of Inflo Health. "This partnership exemplifies their commitment to excellence in healthcare and will drive safer, more effective follow-up care for the community."
Through this collaboration, STHS and Inflo Health set a new standard for patient care, ensuring that every finding leads to the most timely and effective recommended action, further strengthening the health system's reputation for quality and innovation.
