Ok basic, but not too helpful,
By
This review is from: Health Care Finance: Basic Tools for Nonfinancial Managers (Paperback)
This book gives a good basic overview of the health care finance. Its best feature is that it is applied to health care only, so you don't have to go through other business models. I cannot see using it in the future though - if you are planning to manage your office/work on a budget/evaluate your organization from a financial stand point, this is not the book you will need.

Health care Finane Tools for Non-Financial Managers,

This review is from: Healthcare Finance: Basic Tools for Non-Financial Managers (Health Care Finance (Baker)) (Paperback)
I think this text is very good but it seems geared for someone with a stronger background in finances. I found even with the excellent way the text is layed out various steps were not explained and could have used an example of a Business Plan and the financial information to see the working of the plan.

Basic, yes but...,
This review is from: Healthcare Finance: Basic Tools for Non-Financial Managers (Health Care Finance (Baker)) (Paperback)
The book does explain the basics well but they assume you may have had another type of finance class when it come to crunching numbers. This book was required for an online class I took and even the teacher was not impressed with this book. There needs to be more explanation and break down on how to perform calculations.
