The FACHE credential represents high achievement and standards
of professional development, with only an estimated 9,000 health
care executives having earned the distinction. Eighteen Cerner
executives are Fellows of ACHE and the company has committed to
support more than 70 Cerner leaders in attaining Fellow status
during the next three years.
“The health care management field plays a vital role in
providing high-quality care to the people in our communities, which
makes having a standard of excellence promoted by a professional
organization critically important,” said Deborah J. Bowen, FACHE,
CAE, president and CEO, ACHE. “By being board-certified in health
care management as an ACHE Fellow, health care leaders demonstrate
their commitment to excellence in serving their patients and
communities.”
To earn the FACHE credential, candidates must fulfill multiple
requirements, including meeting academic and experiential criteria,
earning continuing education credits, demonstrating
professional/community involvement and passing a comprehensive
examination. Fellows are also committed to ongoing professional
development and are required to undergo recertification every three
years.
The Cerner executives who earned the FACHE credential in 2016
were:
- Laurie Gehrt, vice president, Consulting
- Chad Greeno, vice president, Population Health Consulting
- Nancy Higgins, manager, Clinical Adoption

“Cerner is a strong supporter of the ACHE Fellowship program as
a powerful tool to strengthen the industry expertise of our
associates,” said Zane Burke, president of Cerner. “Fellows are
uniquely qualified to understand the challenges and opportunities
our clients are facing as health care continues to evolve. Through
our involvement with ACHE, our associates also gain a better grasp
of how Cerner can help position our clients for success and how our
collaborations contribute to shaping the future of health
care.”
