IEM’s Cross-Industry Expertise Injects New Life Into Healthcare Management

Feb. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- As the healthcare industry continues to struggle under the burden of various challenges, Interim Executive Management, Inc. is providing strategic expertise to facilities and lenders seeking transition guidance. Numerous healthcare management boards and executives are experiencing a breath of fresh air as they intersect with IEM’s cross-trained team. Rather than spinning their wheels on “traditional thinking”, they are seeing firsthand the results that can be had with the guidance of people who have the experiential means to change it.

One of the key cornerstones in any market is its healthcare system, and non-urban markets are faced with their own unique set of challenges. As healthcare undergoes more stringent regulations and financial margins are squeezed even tighter, non urban hospitals are finding it hard to maintain their viability. This financial strain also often leads to the added struggle of attracting top intellectual capital. When this tide is addressed, the inevitable is avoided. “When a market loses its healthcare system, it also loses its tax base 1) through the out migration of healthcare professionals, which often make up its highest paid employees, and therefore the greatest contributors to the tax base 2) out migration of other key professionals into more robust markets 3) out migration of existing industries and 4) the inability to attract new industry”, says Tamarin Lindenberg.

Through IEM’s guidance, these markets have a chance to actually attract top talent when they offer and highlight the necessary essentials inherent in top quality healthcare, emphasize certain topographical offerings in their area such as mountains, beaches, etc; and tout the benefits of  low crime, friendly community appeal. The key is to strenghthen the imbedded healthcare system, because without it - they can’t compete, no matter how strong the other offerings.

Interim Executive Management is a corporation based in numerous cities, with a history of assisting transitioning organizations through uncharted waters and leading them safely to solid footing within their respective industries. IEM is staffed with a team of executives whose life experience, education and credentials uniquely qualify them for how to assess areas which are hindering their growth, and then provide and implement solutions which poise them to move ahead. “Looking at how other industries solve similar management challenges often affords a new perspective from within, setting the stage to further broaden the scope of tools at one’s disposal,” says Tamarin Lindenberg. IEM is led and founded by Tamarin Lindenberg, a hands-on CEO dedicated to guiding executives and their organizations to implemented solutions, not just recommendations.
