An Introduction to Accounting and Financial Management
- Share to:
Some 20 years ago, after years of teaching corporate finance and writing
related textbooks and casebooks, I began teaching healthcare financial
management in the University of Florida’s joint MBA/MHA program.
The move prompted me to write my first healthcare finance textbook, Understanding
Health Care Financial Management. The book was designed for
use in health services administration financial management courses in which
students had prerequisite courses in both accounting and corporate finance.
In general, such courses are case courses, so this book served primarily as a
reference tool when working healthcare finance cases.
In recent years, I expanded my healthcare finance teaching to include
courses in nontraditional and clinician-oriented programs in which students
do not have a formal background in financial issues. Finance courses in these
programs require a book that provides basic information on foundation topics.
Furthermore, these courses often are part of programs that contain just one
healthcare finance course, so the course must cover both accounting and financial
management. In reviewing the books available for use in such courses,
I found some that were strong in accounting and others that were strong in
financial management; however, I could not find one that gave equal emphasis
to both components of healthcare finance. This situation prompted me
to write Healthcare Finance: An Introduction to Accounting and Financial
Management.
