Great book that is written in a way that health care providers can gain the necessary knowledge to understand the economic trends and behaviors of various stakeholders without having any prior experience in business and/or economics. It provides comprehensive information with both macro and micro views of the health care environment. The content is easy to understand, gives very relevant examples of current situations, and does it without being overly granular. This was the perfect text for medical professionals at the graduate level.
Good examples and very informative. It is a little bit of managerial and financial accounting concept reviews. Easy to understand definitions and solutions.
Great read for an important subject just wish the chapter questions had explanations.
Not really into this book, but that's just me.
Very happy with purchase.
