Financial management challenges are not confined to the CFO’s office. Any manager in today’s increasingly complex healthcare environment must have a solid grasp of finance fundamentals, and this book provides them.

The first four sections—Financial Management, Operating Revenue, Working Capital, and Resource Allocation—start with core financial concepts, then delve into issues unique to the healthcare setting. Highlights include the tax status of healthcare organizations, third-party payers and payment methodologies, cost accounting and analysis, rate setting, strategic financial planning, and capital budgeting.
A final section on healthcare reform analyzes important trends that will affect healthcare organizations in the future.
