Provide a summary of the project or program:
           The Regional Burn Center team is embarking on plans to optimize the patient and family experience - from the
time of the emergency, throughout intensive care, treatment, rehabilitation, recovery and survivorship. The plans include doubling
the size of our burn ICU rooms to create more room for families and equipment, increasing the size of the tub room to allow for
better temperature control and more capacity to do in-room procedures, adding new step-down room for patients, adding a
playroom for children, creating new space for fast-track patients who come in through the ER, and renovating the outpatient rehab
gym and treatment center where patients continue their recovery after discharge.

What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          Baton Rouge General was the first to open a burn program in Louisiana in the 1970s and 14th in the US. Since then, the Regional Burn Center (RBC) has saved thousands of lives from more than 150 zip codes and hundreds of offshore platforms stationed in coastal waters. Out of nearly 5,500 hospitals in the U.S., only 138 have burn centers. Of those 138 burn centers, only 68 have been verified by the American Burn Association and American College of Surgeons. Only one of those 68 verified burn centers is in Louisiana: Baton Rouge General's RBC, confiming that BRG provides the highest level of care for burn patients from emergency through rehabilitation. The RBC provides advanced, comprehensive burn care to more than 90% of the region’s patients who
have suffered some of life’s most tragic accidents. The Center is housed at Baton Rouge General, nestled along Baton Rouge’s 1-10/12 interstate.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          The average inpatient length of stay for a burn victim can last
up to 45 days and requires ongoing intensive, highly focused outpatient, surgical, nutritional care, social support and therapeutic interventions. The Regional Burn Center team is embarking on plans to optimize the patient and family experience - from the time of the emergency, throughout intensive care, treatment, rehabilitation, recovery and survivorship. The plans include doubling the size of our burn ICU rooms to create more room for families and equipment, increasing the size of the tub room to allow for better temperature control and more capacity to do in-room procedures, adding new step-down room for patients, adding a
playroom for children, creating new space for fast-track patients who come in through the ER, and renovating the outpatient rehab gym and treatment center where patients continue their recovery after discharge.

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           Patient treatment will be ongoing.
