Essentials of Health Care Finance

Exactly what it was supposed to be. Fast shipping. Would buy from them again.

This book was very detailed, and provided in depth information pertaining to the health-care industry. The glossary was very helpful for understanding the health-care terminology. A great tool for a Health-Finance course.

The book is in great condition. No underlining or highlighting. I would purchase again from this seller.

I graduated from The Ohio State University and used this book for the multiple finance classes we are required to take in the MHA program. This book is not designed for beginners. It was written for those that have experience in the healthcare field and more specifically the business sector of healthcare. The prerequisite for that program is to already have multiple finance and accounting classes, with the expectation to hit the ground running. It is not an easy read otherwise. Dr. Cleverley is considered the guru of hospital finance and spends a lot of time working with healthcare executives; his goal is to provide you with a level of understanding that allows you to operate at that level. This is an excellent resource for those who will work in any part of healthcare that deals with finances and financial reporting of any sort. I can sympathize with those that are more clinically oriented and required to use this book in their finance class(es). It would be an extremely difficult read.

This book represents the foundation on which all healthcare organizations should examine their financial strength and management. While not for beginners, it provides a comprehensive overview of reporting and benchmarks that prove invaluable during the budgeting process and for financial control.
