Introduction to the Financial Management of Healthcare Organizations

To  succeed in an increasingly competitive environment, healthcare managers  require a full toolbox of knowledge and abilities. Yet, many managers  lack financial skills or an understanding of how to apply them to their  work. Introduction to the Financial Management of Healthcare Organizations offers  a fundamental overview of how financial management works in healthcare  organizations. Designed for healthcare management students, clinical  students, and managers new to healthcare, the book reinforces basic  concepts through mini-case studies, practice problems, and self-quizzes.  A comprehensive case at the end of the book draws on information  presented throughout the chapters to help readers apply their newfound  financial skills to real-world healthcare scenarios. This heavily  revised edition features current data and updated content on economics,  financial accounting, laws, and regulations. Organized into modules, the  book allows instructors to use the chapters that are best suited to  their course and in the order that they prefer. Chapter one appendices  highlight introductory content and terminology exploring statistics,  economics, and financial accounting.
