Description : Healthcare Financial Management: Applied Concepts and Practical Analyses is a comprehensive and engaging resource for students in health administration, health management, and related programs. It brings together the problem-solving, critical-thinking, and decision-making skills that students need to thrive in a variety of health administration and management roles. Engaging case studies, practice problems, and data sets all focus on building the core skills and competencies critical to the success of any new health administrator. Real-world examples are explored through a healthcare finance lens, spanning a wide variety of health care organizations including hospitals, physician practices, long-term care, and more. Core conceptual knowledge is covered in detailed chapters, including accounting principles, revenue cycle management, and budgeting and operations management. This conceptual knowledge is then brought to life with an interactive course project, which allows students to take ownership of and apply their newly-acquired skills in the context of a nuanced real-world scenario. Healthcare Financial Management is an engaging and thorough resource that will equip students with both the theoretical and practical skills they need to make a difference in this dynamic and rapidly-growing field.
