Gender and Race/Ethnic Career Studies
The Division of Research produces recurring studies on career attainments in healthcare management using gender and race/ethnicity as comparison groups. Here is a chronological list of these papers with brief descriptions, executive summaries and full text.
A Race/Ethnic Comparison of Career Attainments in Healthcare Management: 2008
Executive
Summary (PDF)
A 1992 joint study by ACHE and the National Association
of Health Services Executives (NAHSE), whose membership is predominantly black,
compared the career attainments of their members. Follow-up studies were conducted in
1997 and 2002. The study groups were broadened to include Hispanic and Asian
healthcare executives. Sponsorship was correspondingly enlarged to include the Institute
for Diversity in Health Management, the National Forum for Latino Healthcare
Executives and the Asian Health Care Leaders Association. The central objective of this
fourth cross-sectional study is to determine if the racial/ethnic disparities in healthcare
management careers have narrowed.
A
Comparison of the Career Attainments of Men and Women Healthcare
Executives: 2006
Executive Summary (PDF) or Complete Report (PDF)
This
is the fourth report in a series of research surveys designed
to compare the career attainments of men and women healthcare
executives. Each report is based on a survey conducted every
five years by ACHE
using samples of affiliates.
The Prevalence and Impact of Disability Among Healthcare Executives: 2006
ACHE, in collaboration with the Rehabilitation Institute
of Chicago, sought to determine the extent of
disability among ACHE affiliates and the impact
of disability on their careers. A four-page survey was sent in fall 2005 to a random sample
of ACHE affiliates to help answer this question.
This supplement to “The
Prevalence and Impact of Disability Among Healthcare
Executives (PDF),” published in the November/December
2006 issue of Healthcare Executive, shares information
about the survey and detailed results.
A
Race/Ethnic Comparison of Career Attainments in Healthcare
Management: 2002
Executive
Summary (PDF); Complete Report (PDF); and Recommendations (PDF)
ACHE, along with other leading healthcare associations, undertook
studies in 1992 and 1997 to compare the career attainments
of healthcare executives in various race/ethnic groups. The
central objective of this third cross-sectional study is to
determine if the race/ethnic disparities in healthcare management
careers have narrowed since 1997 based on a similar pool of
respondents. In planning this study, leaders of ACHE, Association
of Hispanic Healthcare Executives, Institute for Diversity
in Health Management, and National Association of Health Services
Executives invited the collaboration of the Executive Leadership
Development Program of the Indian Health Service so that the
career attainments of Native American executives could also
be assessed. In response to continuing racial/ethnic inequities
demonstrated by this study, the Board of Governors of the
American College of Healthcare Executives recommended
several initiatives to address inequities.
