The Ripple Effect: How the CAHME Awards Energize Future Healthcare Leaders discusses how the CAHME Awards impacted healthcare leadership education and graduates of CAHME Accredited/Certified programs. The 9 years of the CAHME awards brought to light best practices at CAHME Accredited/Certified programs, and the incredible commitment of faculty and graduates to make a difference.
The CAHME Awards garnered support from leading industry partners, corporations, foundations, and individual donors, and raised more than $1.4 million over its history.
The white paper chronicles how the CAHME awards generate “ripples” of lasting change to healthcare management education, the communities programs serve, and the ongoing work of graduates of programs.
A special thank you to Canon Solutions America for their long-term sponsorship of the CAHME/Canon Solutions America Award for Sustainability in Healthcare Management Education, and in underwriting the White Paper costs. Award ceremony attendees will receive a complimentary print version - updated with the newest winners!

Since our last email, CAHME released, CAHME Annual Faculty Editor (CAFE v2.0) that expanded access to programs with larger faculty. The result was clear: more programs have participated. Detailed disaggregated demographic and faculty status information on half of all faculty that teach in CAHME accredited programs will be available to participating programs. The number of faculty with detailed compensation data has continued to increase as more programs participated. About 1 of every 3 participating programs will be able to access comparative faculty compensation data. This means they will be able to develop their faculty compensation plan using a baseline of leading CAHME programs. Simply put, participating programs can better plan and be positioned to receive resources to attain the most important element of any program ... great faculty! Here's an example of the power of this data. Figure 1 shows that 53% of all faculty in healthcare management programs gathered in our annual reporting dataset (i.e., all accredited programs, certified programs, and those in candidacy) are in public universities. Figure 2 drills down into the CAFÉ data for faculty of public universities to examine compensation distribution by full-time, Assistant Professors with a contract length of 12 months or greater. The modal (cost of living adjusted) annual total compensation is $100,000-$109,999. Note that this information is preliminary based only on available programs and is subject to change with more programs participating.
