Concepts: A Quick Reference for
Midwives, PAs, NPs, CNSs, and Other Disruptive Innovators Paperback: 116 pages
This book is intended to be a "pocket consult" for the non-physician provider who wishes to gain a basic understanding of some of the most common concepts of the business of being a healthcare provider. This is a handbook that covers the business aspects of being a healthcare provider in today's managed care environment. It covers such topics as:
Much of the material in this book is derived from the author's 12
years of personal experience as a non-physician provider.
As healthcare continues to evolve, and as healthcare
professionals continue to meet today's clinical challenges, they are
now faced with demonstrating knowledge of things such as fiscal
responsibility, productivity, and quality management. Failure to
develop business acumen may result in lost jobs, closing practices,
or becoming subjected to unreasonable demands or expectations. Whatever the background or motivator, this book is designed to be
a primer in business for the non-traditional health care provider.

reference,' this book is jam-packed with critical information
and useful tips about common business concepts for the
business-naive and the business savvy allied healthcare provider
(midwife, nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, or
physician's assistant). The author addresses issues that impact
the welfare of one's practice setting and the success (and
livelihood) of one's practice, from both the qualitative and the
quantitative dimensions." —Virginia G. Miller, PhD, RN, CS,
