2.0 out of 5 stars
Not for beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Essentials of Health Care Finance (Hardcover)
I have finished about 5 different chapters for a Masters degree course I am taking. This book is not for beginners! I am an RN and have been working in business for 10 years. The author assumes that you have had basic accounting and the terminology is unfamiliar. There are very few examples given so it is hard to take the information and see how it is really used. I have had to buy another book just so that I could understand this book.

Mr. Cleverley is the guru of healthcare finance,
By A Customer
This review is from: Essentials of Health Care Finance (Hardcover)
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.

Difficult to read for beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Essentials of Health Care Finance (Hardcover)
I can not give a completer review as I am still reading this book. I will say the majority of my friends reading this book at the same time as I am are having a difficult time following and understanding the principles discussed. I think it is just not as basic as it could have started to give the beginner a better foundation. Also a glossary of terms would have been a tremendous help.
