 Another Winner! May 31, 2009
William Lorusso (NY, NY)
Article was received in New Condition, on time on target and 1/3 of the school bookstores price.
 Good for non-accountants, but could use more on healthcare specifics May 14, 2009
Brad L
For someone who knows little about accounting and finance, it provides a good overview with a slant towards healthcare. Throughout the book, there are sidebars that provide a good perspective of what healthcare organizations are really doing and the issues facing the healthcase industry.
For someone who knows accounting and finance, but is new to the healthcare industry, only a third of the book deals with specific healthcare finance issues. The book also seems to be written from a payor's perspective of provider finance, but maybe it's just the nature of the healthcare industry overall. Also, this book was updated in 2003, and given the dynamic nature of the healthcare industry, some topics may not be current.
A very good book October 21, 2008

Its a very good book for the beginners in Accounting and especially for those in Health care Industry
 horrible book with poor examples February 26, 2008

3 out of 4 found this review helpful
We used this book for our introductory finance class, and I hated it. Perhaps it's just the outdated edition, but I found that the excercises at the end of each chapter were awful. The book does a poor job of explaining difficult concepts. The book is also boring and drab illustrations. There has to be a better book out there. I quickly sold my edition of this book, as it is terrible.
outstanding compilation of solid financial management tools January 27, 2008

Starting with understanding financial statements, teaching health care accounting, and progressing to budgeting, cost finding, and payment systems, this book is an outstanding compilation of solid financial management tools and techniques for health care practices.
Each chapter includes learning objectives, a summary, key terms, and questions and problems, making it a perfect textbook for both students of health care administration and clinic owners building industrial-grade practice management skills.
