Excellent Book
I was fortunate enough to be a student of Linda Swaynes @ UNC Charlotte.We were the first class to use this book.Not only was Ms. Swayne excellent at what she taught but the book was a tool that explained the theories in nice detail.I continue to use the book as a resource.I am currently a hospital CEO.

Great balance of theory and practice
I used this text for a class in health care management. I was impressed by the readability of the text, the incredible amount of information it contained, and the great balance of theory with practical approaches. Many books about management are a bit short in the area of practical tools. This one gives you tools to work with. I used the outline of this book to do a strategic analysis of an organization with which I work. The only significant weakness of the book is the uneven quality of the case studies. These were contributed by outside authors. Some of these are terrific, others are not well written and not so helpful. Hope this gets corrected in the new edition.

A Must for the Novice Planner
This comprehensive and yet easily understood text provides thefundamentals of strategic management as it applies to most any health careorganization.The authors' experience comes to life in a variety of realexamples and cases throughout the text. My background and interest instrategic planning led me to thoroughly examine the step-by-step processes,and I was amazed at both the simplicity and applicability of each. Definetly a text that I will recommend to anyone entering the healthcareindustry or strategic planning arenas.Not only was I benefited by thepurchase of this text, but had the opportunity to meet these outstandingauthors in person during graduate study/research. ...

Really helpful
For people like me.Even if you have had no exposure to Excell before, by the end of the book, you will be able to complete difficult statistical analysis using the excell application.This include linear regression and matrix math.Dr. Veney uses real world health care examples to set up each task, and gives very good step by step instructions.In addition, the explainations given are written in basic english, and it often feels as if you are having a conversation with the author.Obviously statistics is still a difficult task for many, but this book does make it easier.I used it for class, and then found I actually pulled it out frequently during my work (in public health) to set up certain data and analyze them properly.My managers and bosses have always been surprised at my ability to compute- but really I am just using the set ups in this book. ...

A Great Intro Into Health Care Finance
As stated in the preface of the book, the goal of the book, "was to create a text that introduces students to the most important principles and applications of healthcare finance..."This book was an excellent introduction into finance.Not only did it explain accounting and financial terms and theories, it uses excellent examples of real life health care situations to further the reader's understanding of the topics.This was my first time exposed to finance of any type.At the end of the book, I felt like I had a firm understanding of the basics.Excellent book for beginners.

Superb textbook
As a cardiologist, I have used many textbooks over the years. I am now a hospital's Chief Medical Officer and am enrolled in an MHA program. Dr. Gapenski's book is one of the best-written textbooks I have ever used. It clearly and consisely discusses financial concepts as they apply to healthcare. He has the ability to make the most complex concepts easily understood.

Excellent text with Case book & teaching guide available
This text is used at both the University of Florida and Wisconsin's programs for the Executive programs for the Masters in Health Administration.I just finished the course in November, 2000 - a course taught by the author.It was excellent.While it is written to meet the needs of a student with no financial background, the material can also be challenging to the CPA. A case book andteachers guide are also available seperately, and would be helpful to someone teaching a Finance course for the first time. ... Read more

Best book on the subject.
After ordering what I thought to be the six most likely prospects from Amazon I was most impressed with this book. It's a clearly written, step by step way to put together a complete manual from start to finish. It's the only book on the subject I would recomend. ... Read more
