Summary: "This text was developed as the result of a perceived need for non-financial managers to know enough about financial management in the context of health services to be successful in their day-to-day managerial activities while not burdening them with an approach bordering on overkill. As a result, this text is not an "everything you ever wanted to know about financial management, but were afraid to ask" tome. Instead, it is a plain talk, introductory text that provides enough information to be useful and completely sufficient for non-financial managers while at the same time providing a sound basis for additional study"-- Provided by publisher

Description

In today's chaotic health reform environment, it is especially important for non-financial health care managers to have a practical guide to the tools and concepts they need to manage their human, supply, and equipment resources. Today's health care managers, frequently, were yesterday's technicians, physicians, and nurses. This puts them in an interesting predicament, since they know the health care side of the business but often lack the financial management skills necessary to create budgets and manage finances in a health care setting. In this guide, William J. Ward Jr. offers easy-to-understand explanations of basic accounting concepts, including cash flow, operating cost and cost behavior, revenue and reimbursement, and so much more. Providing clearly presented financial information in the context of health care, Ward's book is a one-stop desk reference that provides practical, useful tools and knowledge that readers can immediately put to use. It will help managers, directors, and clinical leaders who work in hospitals, physician practices, and other provider organizations to effectively manage their financial resources on a day-to-day basis, providing guidance for essential tasks such as preparing budgets, managing their departments, and making decisions around financial issues.
