Client Testimonials

“With IPM’s leadership, we were able to identify and prioritize the needed changes and then plan and execute the improvements. The IPM project leaders became a part of our hospital family as they brought a level of communication and departmental coordination that we likely would not have achieved on our own. With their project leadership, we were able to complete the process improvements in about half the time expected. As a result, we are now achieving metric goals in patient throughput many months sooner than we had hoped.”

Medical Director, Hospital

“[The IPM team] was absolutely marvelous. They were quick studies, assimilated quickly, were well organized and astute. I appreciated their style—assertive yet diplomatic, impactful yet seamless. You have given us 100 percent confidence we will succeed as the tool was comprehensive yet simple. I also appreciate not only the work ethic but commitment to excellence. Your follow-up, post-implementation to ensure effectiveness validates your ongoing commitment to your clients’ success. I would highly recommend you, your company, and/or the two individuals we used to anyone interested.”

Joan Magruder, President, Missouri Baptist Medical Center

“When I contacted IPM, our company had gotten into a unique, large project with a client that was more complex and challenging than we had originally anticipated. IPM helped us ‘right the ship’ and make course adjustments. Since their involvement, we have been able to make steady progress. The IPM methodology and approach works well, and they helped develop confidence internally for us as well as externally with our key client, by driving accountability and responsibility. During our engagement, we received support from all levels within IPM—it was not a simple, single-handed effort by one person. My experience with IPM has been very positive and I would recommend this company to anyone who needs project management and guidance to work through complex programs and projects.”
