Corporate finance principles play an important role in most management decisions from everyday choices to strategic determinations.

Minor decisions do not exist in the financial arena. All decisions have major implications for an organization's success.

Gain the working knowledge you need to make financially sound decisions. In straightforward terms, this book explains the six key principles critical to the effective financial management of healthcare organizations:

  • Managing the capital cycle
  • Creditworthiness
  • Integrated strategic and financial planning
  • Capital allocation
  • Strategic budgeting
  • Capital structure management

The third edition includes new information about the factors that will influence credit ratings, as well as new approaches to determining your organization’s debt capacity. It also discusses how to link financial planning with organizational strategy. A new chapter provides guidance on achieving the right capital structure. It explains what new debt vehicles are available to healthcare organizations and includes advice on how to select the most appropriate capital structure.

Recommended by the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), this new edition includes expanded information on the crucial concepts of estimating risk and budgeting. Examples describe the experiences of actual healthcare organizations in implementing best practice credit analysis and financial planning, capital allocation, and budgeting. Use the lessons learned to jump-start the implementation of these approaches at your organization.
