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.
