Named for ACHE's executive director from 1942 to 1965, the Dean Conley Award was established in 1958 and is granted annually by ACHE to recognize contributions to healthcare management literature and to encourage healthcare executives to write and publish articles. Nominations for the award are solicited from editors of healthcare and management-oriented magazines and journals. Award winners are selected by ACHE's Article of the Year Awards Committee.

The 2013 winner has been selected: Leonard M. Fleck, PhD, for his article “'Just' Care: Who Decides?” published in the January 2012 issue of Health Progress, the official journal of the Catholic Health Association of the United States.
