Financial Management in Health Care Organizations
This is one of the best books I have read on explaining finance, especially as it relates to healthcare. In my opinion, the author has taken a subject that is extremely difficult for most people to understand and reduced it down to the basic elements.    -- Michael S. Austrin, M.A.U.A. (Planning and Business Development - BJC Healthcare)Fundamental principles of finance are presented in this text on the financial aspects of running and managing a health care organization. The text employs case studies, modern financial theory, and a little bit of humor, an addressed all varieties of health care organizational structures, including hospital based, home health, managed care, and medical practices. Focus is in financial principals and decision making rather than accounting, with chapters on valuing assets, capital building, and managing long-term and short-term assets. Mc.
