HPM 223 Accounting and Financial Management in Healthcare

The complexity of healthcare delivery in modern America has created equally complex financial and accounting practices and requirements. Health accounting and financial management has now spread to all areas within the health care industry: Nurse-managers now manage the finances of their units, pharmacy directors and operating room (OR) managers must utilize resources efficiently and address patient or client flow appropriately.  To be successful at these tasks, health care managers, executives, and policymakers – regardless of the specific area in which they lead within the health industry – must have a firm understanding of accounting and financial management. This course gives a broad overview of the principles and practices of accounting and financial management in the healthcare industry to ensure profitability and viability.
