 horrible book with poor examples February 26, 2008
We used this book for our introductory finance class, and I hated it. Perhaps it's just the outdated edition, but I found that the excercises at the end of each chapter were awful. The book does a poor job of explaining difficult concepts. The book is also boring and drab illustrations. There has to be a better book out there. I quickly sold my edition of this book, as it is terrible.
 outstanding compilation of solid financial management tools January 27, 2008
Starting with understanding financial statements, teaching health care accounting, and progressing to budgeting, cost finding, and payment systems, this book is an outstanding compilation of solid financial management tools and techniques for health care practices.
Each chapter includes learning objectives, a summary, key terms, and questions and problems, making it a perfect textbook for both students of health care administration and clinic owners building industrial-grade practice management skills.

AN EXCELLENT TEXTBOOK October 10, 2007
All essential topics in financial management and definations of professional terms can be found in this nice book. To strengthen the readers' knowledge on financial management, the authors provided many examples for discussion and explanation; and also asked some key questions at the end of each Chapter. So interesting!! This textook is very useful for new learners of health care financial management.
Highly recommended March 28, 2005

A very comprehensive and informative book, even though the examples are for the US it can be used and applied to other countries and systems. Gives a good grounding for financial understanding of healthcare entities. Highly recommend it to anyone looking interested in financial managment of health care organizations
Right to the point! March 28, 2004
