Transforming Health Care And Strengthening Results For 40 Years

Marie Manthey, one of the pioneers of Primary Nursing, founds the company now known as Creative Health Care Management in 1978 as a single-person health care consulting firm.

In 1982, the leadership development program that would become Leading an Empowered Organization (LEO) is created, and additional consultants are brought on to expand the reach of the company.

CHCM took its first steps in revolutionizing the field of competency assessment, providing a new model that empowers caregivers to take ownership of their clinical education thereby continuing to deepen their knowledge and skills through participation in the process. The Ultimate Guide to Competency Assessment, originally published in 1996, is in its third edition.

CHCM begins the 21st century with the development of the cultural transformation model, Relationship-Based Care. In 2004, the book Relationship-Based Care: A Model for Transforming Practice becomes widely adopted and wins acclaim throughout the entire industry.

I2E2, Feel the Pull, and the RBC Field Guide are published.

Advancing Relationship-Based Cultures is published, a how-to for the creation and maturation of positive, trusting relationships; skills and practices which are foundational to high performing teams, effective clinical encounters, and distinctive learning organizations. Physician Wellbeing Intensive is created.
