Description

Financial issues are of paramount importance in today�s rapidly changing and increasingly competitive healthcare environment. Healthcare managers must understand accounting and financial management concepts and be prepared to operationalize them in their organizations. Healthcare Applications: A Casebook in Accounting and Financial Management provides a series of practice exercises for analyzing, understanding, and applying these concepts across a wide range of healthcare settings. Healthcare Applications contains 56 short cases designed to link theory to practical, real-world application via active learning. Based on fictitious entities and individuals (unless otherwise noted), the cases cover basic concepts�such as how to record transactions, compute financial ratios, and prepare financial statements�as well as more advanced issues, such as the effects of healthcare regulation, the valuation of debt or equity securities, cost�volume�profit analysis, and capital budgeting. Each case features assignments or questions to enhance students� critical thinking and generate classroom engagement. Instructors can select case topics and difficulty levels that are most appropriate for their courses. The book�s cases can be either assigned as out-of-class homework or used directly in class to introduce a topic or facilitate discussion.Typham this is the title: Healthcare Applications: A Casebook in Accounting and Financial Management 1st Edition
