SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This new edition of Financial Management of Health Care Organizations offers an introduction to the most-used tools and techniques of health care financial management, including health care accounting and financial statements; managing cash, billings and collections; making major capital investments; determining cost and using cost information in decision-making; budgeting and performance measurement; and pricing. Avoiding complicated formulas and using numerous spreadsheet examples, its pedagogy includes: more advanced information in chapter appendices for those who want to go beyond the basics; a detailed outline beginning each chapter; a summary concluding each chapter; and 'perspectives', real-world situations and events which illustrate concepts discussed in the chapters.
