Gapenski's Healthcare Finance: An Introduction to Accounting and Financial Management
explores how healthcare organizations manage financial operations to optimally
provide patient care. This significantly revised edition of one of Health
Administration Press's best-selling books introduces the key foundational elements
of healthcare finance, including both accounting and financial management.
Authors Kristin L. Reiter and Paula H. Song present the financial management
and accounting concepts that are most critical to managerial decision-making.
They emphasize not only financial theory and principles but also practical tools
healthcare managers can use to make the crucial decisions that promote the
financial well-being of their organization.
Gapenski's Healthcare Finance examines the current financial environment with
an emphasis on health system design, healthcare insurance, and reimbursement
methodologies. Extensive updates and content new to this seventh edition include:
r A discussion of health reform that reflects the current status of the Affordable
Care Act
r Information on the field's increasing focus on social determinants of health
r Tax rates and examples that reflect the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
r A discussion of Medicaid expansion and health insurance exchanges
r Coverage of the implications of value-based payment for the revenue cycle
r Substantial reorganization of the financial accounting chapters to orient
students to financial accounting before the book's coverage of the income
statement, statement of changes in equity, the balance sheet, and the statement
of cash flows
r A new chapter supplement provides expanded analysis of the double-entry
accounting system
In a dynamic environment, healthcare leaders need to practice good financial
decision-making for the health of their patients and the financial stability of their
organization. From this book, current and future managers will understand the
finance problems provider organizations face and how best to solve them.
