Center for Health Care Management
Good medicine and good business are not mutually exclusive.
In 2009, Fletcher Allen launched a new educational initiative -- the Center for Health Care Management -- to educate providers and administrators in business management knowledge, skills and training. As a high-quality, low-cost provider of academic health care in a rural region, Fletcher Allen's overarching goal for the Center is to educate providers and administrators in basic business principles and management techniques that can be applied to health care delivery systems to improve the way a delivery system operates, and ultimately, improve care for patients. 
Core to the philosophy of the Center is our belief that the application of sound business principles by empowered providers will create the most efficient health care delivery system.
By improving the business and organizational processes that increase the value of the physician-patient relationship, we will optimize access while providing financial returns that provide for continuous reinvestment in the clinical delivery system.
To ensure a comprehensive and balanced perspective, the Center has been designed as a consortium of thought leaders from academia, industry, government, and health care organizations engaged in designing and running successful coordinated health systems. We are committed to performing data-driven applied research to inform our clinical practice and the practice of our affiliated network of hospitals, clinics, and providers.
The mission of the Center is to leverage Fletcher Allen’s clinical and academic competencies in education, research and outreach to generate and disseminate innovative approaches to the delivery of health care.
