Must have for class... June 4, 2009
R. Thayer (Southern, Maine USA)
The book is easy to read and follow. Overall, it meets my needs for the Grad class I am taking. I will hold on to this one after the class is done.

The book was in excellent condition, however, it took forever to get to me. Over 2 weeks. Too long, seeing that it was not being used for recreatiion.

The problem with this book is it is written too much like a book and not like a textbook. It is nearly impossible to find the equations that are embedded in the text if you are trying to do a quick reference on a concept. In addition, the index is horrible which leaves me constantly googling concepts that I need for the case studies since you can never find them in the book. Also, I'm not really sure how the book distinguishes itself as "health care" there is little to no health care specifics as far as finance goes. In all reality it isn't a great book especially if it is for your first finance class and you're better off looking up academic journals for a the health care finance perspective.
 Straight to the point and practical February 7, 2007

Very good textbook: gives you all the necessary foundations for understanding the financial issues in healthcare.
A Great Intro Into Health Care Finance December 1, 2000
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
As stated in the preface of the book, the goal of the book, "was to create a text that introduces students to the most important principles and applications of healthcare finance..." This book was an excellent introduction into finance. Not only did it explain accounting and financial terms and theories, it uses excellent examples of real life health care situations to further the reader's understanding of the topics. This was my first time exposed to finance of any type. At the end of the book, I felt like I had a firm understanding of the basics. Excellent book for beginners.
