Creative Health Care Management

Creative Health Care Management is a private U.S. corporation, which provides consultation and training in the health care sector. CHCM is based in Bloomington, Minnesota. Founded in 1982 by Marie Manthey, it was originally called Creative Nursing Management. The name change to CHCM was in recognition of the systemic nature of change.

Consulting Practice

Creative Nursing Management was originally established to support the implementation of primary nursing, by applying lessons learned from the original implementation at the University Hospital.
Creative Nursing Management developed a curriculum to prepare staff nurses to become nursing managers. It is licensed to organizations around the world, who do their own 'train-the-trainer' trainings and then are able to provide the content themselves.
Creative Nursing Management became Creative Health Care Management in recognition of a shift to a partnership model in the way the company defined its relationship with health care providers.
