Blue Women - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

Few industries in our economy today are changing as rapidly and
dramatically as health care. In Baton Rouge we are far from immune
to these national changes. Teri Fontenot is President and CEO of
Woman s Hospital, the only independent, community owned women s and
children s hospital in the country and the largest birthing and
neonatal intensive care facility in Louisiana. Teri has been at the
helm of Womans for more than 22 years, making her one of the
longest serving hospital CEOs in the nation. Somesh Nigam is Senior
Vice President and Chief Analytics Officer for Blue Cross and Blue
Shield of Louisiana, the largest healthcare insurer in Louisiana
with eight offices and more than 1.6 million member. Through his
expertise in analytics and more than 25 years of experience, Somesh
is helping change the healthcare delivery model we ve all grown up
with, known as fee for service, to a what is known as a value based
payment system, which means doctors are incentivized to keep
patients healthy rather than just treating them when they re sick.
Out toi Lunch is recorded over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard.
