What Our clients Say about Us
Paul Campbell Erwin, MD, MPH, East Tennessee Regional Director
Tennessee Department of Health
“I have rarely, if ever, received a report as practically useful and insightful as the one you and your staff prepared. Your recommendations were not only very sound based on the data you gathered, but these are recommendations that are feasible and practical within a public health practice setting. I have no doubt that if implemented these recommendations will indeed result in significant improvements at the Anderson County Health Department.”

Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences Co-Director,

It has turned out to be an enormous success, with truly outstanding clarity and research quality… The HealthMETRICS team are by far the best consultants I have ever had the opportunity to work with, and this project one of the best use of funds ever. The project has had tremendous value for each individual site, and has significant national implications for service delivery in areas of cost and quality. This same strategy can appropriately be applied to many other aspects of healthcare. I can’t recommend the HealthMETRICS’ staff and Best Practice strategy enough.”

“During this year, we have completely or partially implemented 6 of the 7 recommendations outlined in the report, which has allowed us to reduce the costs of each visit by a significant percentage… [and] visit flow has improved tremendously…The final recommendations of the project both made sense and were actionable…I hope that we will have an opportunity to work together again.”

It was clear to them that although the process was time consuming, that the potential outcomes were positive enough to make the project meaningful, especially in the present fiscal climate where efficiency and patient satisfaction are imperative if we are to achieve our goals to reduce unintended pregnancy. Also, part of our agency’s mission and values include the importance of decision making based on scientific evidence.
