Customer comments on this selection.
Two sides of a hospital coin. 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 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.
