The American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) is a professional society for healthcare executives and hospital directors in the United States which was established in 1933.
History
[edit]ACHE was founded in 1933 as the American College of Hospital Administrators (ACHA) by a group of hospital administrators seeking to promote professionalism and advance the field of hospital management.[3] The organization rebranded to its current name, the American College of Healthcare Executives, in the mid-1980s.[4] ACHE is a 501(c)(6) organization.
Today, ACHE is focused on "advancing integrity, lifelong learning, leadership skills and diversity and inclusion" and offering certifications for experience healthcare administrators.[5] In 2022, ACHE had $12 million in revenue, and its Foundation arm had $14 million in revenue.[6][7]
Mission
[edit]The primary mission of ACHE is to advance the practice of healthcare management by developing and supporting leaders in the field, and offer support to its local chapters.[8]
ACHE works to influence healthcare policy, promote leadership development, and provide financial support to aspiring healthcare management college students.[9] ACHE offers educational and professional development programs to its members, including an annual conference featuring keynote speakers, workshops, and networking opportunities.[10]
ACHE provides a "Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives" (FACHE) certification for qualified professionals whose experience exemplifies "a mastery of healthcare management".[11]
Membership
[edit]ACHE's membership is currently composed of roughly 49,000 healthcare executives, including hospital and health system administrators, consultants, and educators.[12][13] Members are typically individuals with significant experience in healthcare management and leadership roles.
Publications and resources
[edit]ACHE publishes several journals and periodicals to support healthcare executives, including:
- Healthcare Executive Magazine: A quarterly publication providing insights, trends, and professional development resources in healthcare management.[14]
- Journal of Healthcare Management: A peer-reviewed journal featuring research articles, case studies, and theoretical papers on healthcare management.[15]
