Description
Book Summary: Financial Management for Nurse Managers: Merging the Heart with the Dollar, Third Edition is an essential text for nursing students and professionals because it addresses the financial management issues faced by nurse managers. Chief nursing officers and those in nurse administrator roles will also find this text valuable because of the acute focus on the financial impact of administrative and management decisions across hospitals and healthcare organizations.
The Third Edition covers a broad range of topics, and demonstrates the interconnectivity between finance and other aspects of health care through evidence in healthcare finance, economics and cost accounting, budgeting, staffing effectiveness, and legal and ethical issues. The text is expertly organized and includes real-world examples to lend context to the reader.
Coverage of the value-based reimbursement system is an integral component of the Third Edition. The authors emphasize the concept of giving the patient what is valued and recommend listening to patient needs, collaboration in healthcare decision-making, and shifting the role of the administrator to support care leaders. Additionally, the text has been updated to reflect the impact of the Affordable Care Act.
