Creative Health Care Management

Transforming Cultures through Relationship-Based Care

Magnet® Preparedness/Cultures of Excellence

What is the Business Case for Cultures of Excellence?

Today’s health care environment is marked by high customer expectations, staff shortages, and an intense outcomes focus. The need to transform cultures is greater than ever before.  The transformation that comes with Cultures of Excellence results in organizational outcomes including increases in clinical indicators, patient satisfaction, staff satisfaction, and financial reimbursements.

Why is CHCM the Best Choice to Guide You on Your Journey Toward Excellence?

Creative Health Care Management has a proven track record of guiding organizations along the journey to organizational and nursing excellence. One hundred percent of the organizations we’ve worked with to prepare for Magnet Recognition® or redesignation have been successful.

Whether you are applying for a formal award designation or redesignation such as ANCC Magnet Recognition®, Pathway to Excellence® designation, Malcolm Baldrige Performance Excellence Award, AACN Beacon Award®, or simply pursuing your own unique culture of excellence, we provide guidance and support for both initial and ongoing award or designation status. Grounded in the principles of shared governance/shared decision-making, we help you to understand everything you need to know about where you are, and we help you get to where you want to go.

A journey toward recognition for excellence in practice requires a compassionate, experienced, no-nonsense guide. Creative Health Care Management is known for the sustainability of its culture transformations. A culture of excellence is not a here-today-gone-tomorrow set of surface-level improvements. It’s built on an organization’s deep commitment to embodying a culture in which patients and families are served by caregivers who see them as unique people who may be experiencing the most difficult events of their lives.
