The Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) is the
graduate programs in healthcare management in the United States and Canada. It is based in Spring House, Pennsylvania and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
.
Founded in 1968 as the Accrediting Commission on Education for Health Services Administration (ACEHSA), it adopted its current name in 2004 to reflect a change in strategic direction. This came after its 2001 Orlando Forum, a meeting funded by the
Kellogg Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and called to examine management and leadership preparation practices in the U.S. healthcare industry
. As a result of the meeting, a task force was appointed, with representatives of the practice and academic communities. The task force recommended changes in the accreditation process, and the name of the organization was changed.
CAHME has been granted recognition by the
Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Medical Group Management Association, National Association for Healthcare Quality, Studer Community Institute, American Hospital Association—to establish the standards for healthcare management education [2]
The most recent revision of the CAHME accreditation standards was published in 2021.[3]
