Highly recommended.......2005-03-28
A very comprehensive and informative book, even though the examples are for the US it can be used and applied to other countries and systems. Gives a good grounding for financial understanding of healthcare entities. Highly recommend it to anyone looking interested in financial managment of health care organizations
Right to the point!.......2004-03-28
I found it very consice, and at the same time understandable with lots of examples, and practical. It is very well customized for health care organizations. It's worth your time and your money!
Financial Management of Healthcare Organizations.......2003-05-16
This text proved an invaluable guide to the subject of hospital finances. This was a subject I was not particularly interested in, and the book surprised me. It is readable and clear. The logic flows smoothly. There are plenty of examples, illustrating assorted principles. After reading several books on the topic of hospital finances, this one stands out for its clarity.
Book Description

Financial Management in Health Care Organizations provides discussion on the fundamental principles of finance, accounting, and budgeting for both short-term and long-term assets and programs. Managers of health care organizations and those aspiring to become managers will find this an invaluable tool in helping to increase their understanding of the financial aspects of running and managing their businesses.

Practically useless.......2006-05-19
Don't waste your money on this useless paperweight. I had to buy it for a college class, so I had no choice. The treatment of accounting is too superficial. It claims to give the reader a good grasp on balance sheets and income statements, but fails to adequately define or explain many of the terms used on actual corporate statements. The chapters on costing, and budgeting introduce some theory, but by the time you are finished, you still have no idea how to actually construct a budget. The financial chapters are superficial, and at the same time use statistical concepts that are not explained, leaving the unprepared student rubbing his or her head and wondering what the hell the discussion was about. On that note, the entire book suffers from the useage of terms and concepts that are either poorly explained or not explained at all. The book covers a good spectrum of financial subjects, but all are covered too poorly to be of any use to a real-world manager. The actual useful information in the book could probably be condensed to 10 pages. The rest is useless fluff that talks ABOUT the subjects without telling the student how to actually accomplish something. In short, the book gives little practical training and is heavy on theory, but the theory is superficial and incomplete, so the book is just about useless. I bought an inexpensive book on accounting and another on budgeting (about 150 pages each) that answered my questions and taught me the basics of how to accomplish those functions. I won't say which ones, as I don't want to be accused of representing those authors or publishers, but just know that almost any financial books you buy will be better than this one.

Management for Health Professionals.......2007-02-22
The structure of the book is excellent, and drive to an objective and quickly understending about a complex theme. It is more directed to hospitals and group (business effort) of physicians. It has not a commitment with a "day-by-day" aproach and with dynamic changes of consumer (patient) behavior.
Not for the average reader.......2006-01-26
I purchased this book as my husband and I are about to begin the process of opening our own Plastic Surgery Practice. While I am certain that this is an excellent read for a PhD candidate or a physician with an MBA, it is not for the average or even above average physician looking for advice and information concerning the management of a practice. It is most definitely an extremely in depth and detailed examination of all aspects of medical management. It presupposes that the reader is well-versed in fiscal policy, business law, and graduate level economics. I struggled with the book for several days before making it a gift to my brother-in-law who is an MBA student. At the core it is a textbook for a graduate business student and not for a physician.
Outstanding reference.......2005-09-11
Easy to read. Concepts clear and concise. All relevant topics covered.

Those dark days of staring at incomprehensible numbers during board meetings, of nervous nodding when their financially-literate brethren make comments or ask questions, of voting on things that they do not understand are gone!

Essential Book for Every Health Care Board Member.......2006-02-19
This book quickly gives an overview of health care organizational finance to allow board members to be ably to understand, analyze, and make accurate decisions from available finance information. This book is long overdue!
Book Description
Written in the same nontechnical and succinct approach as the previous editions, this book introduces nonfinancial managers to the fundamental concepts and skills necessary to manage cost effectively. Concise appendices review the key concepts in economics, accounting, and statistics for professionals without prerequisite knowledge. New material on the following topics:
The financial impact of patient safety
The public's concern about accounting integrity and healthcare's response
The financial implications of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and
Modernization Act
The need for entitlement reform
The most recent projections on the financial status of the healthcare industry
The costs associated with uncompensated care and how those costs are either shifted to payers or absorbed in the facility's budget
Customer Reviews:
Two sides of a hospital coin........2005-10-30
When you're dealing with hospital finances it's true that you're dealing with a real two-headed sword. On the one sword, you have patient satisfaction to deal with. But on the other we all want to make money. It's why they're called "finances." This book explains all that and more, but from a patient's point of view this book is a flat one. Except for oncology departments, which is where this book sometimes has a heart. And not just a heart for money.
Professor review of book.......2000-10-23
Great book for the first course in a graduate health administration program where no prerequites are required. There is a workbook for the textbook to help verify understanding of concepts and principles. I would order it as well.
The book is also appropriate for health professionals who have been promoted into management positions and now need work with financial information.
