In 2014, David Nash, MD, Dean of the Jefferson College of Population Health, and representatives from CAHME began discussions around the potential to create an accreditation approach for graduate programs in quality and safety. In 2016, CAHME’s President and CEO, Anthony Stanowski and Dr. Nash resurrected those discussions, which led to a summit in September 2017 of more than 20 attendees at Thomas Jefferson University.
Market conditions in graduate programs in quality and safety accelerated quickly since 2014, leading to a cacophony of certification approaches to define quality and safety. Some “certification” approaches equate simply passing a test with the robust academic coursework offered by graduate programs in healthcare quality and safety. It was felt that this is a disservice to an industry that requires leaders with substantive knowledge and skills in quality improvement and patient safety.
Given CAHME’s mission to “serve the public interest by advancing the quality of healthcare management education”, the CAHME brand will allow for the development of a meaningful set of quality and safety accreditation standards. This requires a careful assessment of program curriculum and the readiness of program directors in these programs to participate in peer and practitioner development of standards of accreditation. The approach mirrors the establishment of CAHME nearly 50 years ago, when CAHME worked with academia and the industry to define the gold standard of healthcare management education.
A task force of academics from graduate programs in quality and safety, representatives from CAHME, with the input of leading associations in quality and safety, and healthcare practitioners worked to develop a set of standards and competencies that would lead toward the eventual accreditation of graduate programs in quality and safety.
In November 2018, the CAHME Board approved the first step, establishing standards for “Certification” of Quality and Safety programs. This interim step of “certification” will sunset when the final accreditation standards are established and programs become eligible for accreditation which is expected in late 2019.

CAHME and Aramark are proud to announce the winners of the grants to CAHME-accredited programs also served by Aramark. CAHME and Aramark share a goal to drive innovation and excellence in healthcare management education. We are grateful for Aramark’s generous support which will fund a range of experiences for students in CAHME-accredited programs. Grants are awarded for initiatives that support participation of healthcare management students in research, seminars, case study competitions, and other related activities.
CAHME and Aramark are pleased to announce eight winners of the first CAHME/Aramark Innovation Grants. Because of the high volume and quality of applications, the number of winners was expanded from four to eight. Two grants have been awarded $5,000 each, while six will receive $3,660 each.
“When CAHME and Aramark announced the grant program earlier this year, we knew we wanted to recognize innovative ideas in improving graduate healthcare management education,” said Anthony Stanowski, DHA, FACHE, president and CEO of CAHME. “It was gratifying to have so many applications for support, and we are grateful for Aramark’s generosity in expanding the number of winners.”
A blue-ribbon panel of healthcare and Aramark executives reviewed the applications. Panelists included :
Jack Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer, Main Line Health System
David McCombs, Vice President of ERP/Supply Chain Operations, Bon Secours Health System, Inc.
Doug Silverstein, President, Evanston Hospital NorthShore University HealthSystem
Madeline Bell, President and Chief Executive Officer, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

Case competitions are ways for students to apply the skills learned in the classroom to analyze a business challenge and recommend a course of action. Case competition judges are frequently leaders in industry who serve to question and evaluate the teams like a board of directors. While not a typical part of a curriculum, case competitions provide students with the ability to network with other future professionals from leading schools, to meet high-profile executives, and to experience the pressures of the real world in a learning environment. Some case competitions also have significant prize awards for the top performing teams.
Below is a table of selected case competitions, and the CAHME programs that came in the top three spots. Certain competitions are open only to CAHME-accredited programs. Other competitions are open to other schools. CAHME-accredited programs typically excel because of the robust training and high curriculum standards.
