 Ok basic, but not too helpfulFeb 25, 2006
By Anna Petrova
"Anna"
This book gives a good basic overview of the health care finance. Its best feature is that it is applied to health care only, so you don't have to go through other business models. I cannot see using it in the future though - if you are planning to manage your office/work on a budget/evaluate your organization from a financial stand point, this is not the book you will need.

Health care Finane Tools for Non-Financial ManagersMar 26, 2010
By Princess M. Dawson
I think this text is very good but it seems geared for someone with a stronger background in finances. I found even with the excellent way the text is layed out various steps were not explained and could have used an example of a Business Plan and the financial information to see the working of the plan.

 Basic, yes but...Jun 29, 2008
By Sally I. Bradley
"Sally"
The book does explain the basics well but they assume you may have had another type of finance class when it come to crunching numbers. This book was required for an online class I took and even the teacher was not impressed with this book. There needs to be more explanation and break down on how to perform calculations.

Not too informativeFeb 20, 2012
By R. Stalker
I am working on my masters degree in nursing, and this was one of our required books. I have not been impressed. I was a manger of an emergency department for years, and have a very strong background in finance, and if I had had to initially learn from this book I would have been lost. The authors do not give specifics of how to do budgets. Seems like there must be much better books out there, in fact I would look at nurse manager books. I have seen descriptions of budgets in nurse management books that were 10 times better than this book. And it is boring.
 Thank you!Nov 01, 2011

I wish they would have sent a tracking number, but it didn't really matter because I still got it in time! Thank you!
