I have just completed a course in health care finance in which the textbook was the Cleverley “Essentials of Health Care Finance”. Though the concepts are good, there are mistakes in the text or formulas that our professors were thankfully able to find. Additionally, we used an Excel spreadsheet format rather than the formulas. The textbook needs to be updated to include what CFO’s and other financial caretakers are using now….some form of spreadsheet, likely Excel. I would not recommend this book to anyone and an still debating what to do with the copy with which I now find myself stuck. Linda

I graduated from The Ohio State University and used this book for the multiple finance classes we are required to take in the MHA program. This book is not designed for beginners. It was written for those that have experience in the healthcare field and more specifically the business sector of healthcare. The prerequisite for that program is to already have multiple finance and accounting classes, with the expectation to hit the ground running. It is not an easy read otherwise. Dr. Cleverley is considered the guru of hospital finance and spends a lot of time working with healthcare executives; his goal is to provide you with a level of understanding that allows you to operate at that level. This is an excellent resource for those who will work in any part of healthcare that deals with finances and financial reporting of any sort. I can sympathize with those that are more clinically oriented and required to use this book in their finance class(es). It would be an extremely difficult read.

The book is in great condition. No underlining or highlighting. I would purchase again from this seller.
