With this casebook, students have the opportunity to apply finance principles and concepts to settings that simulate actual work environments. In that way, the book allows instructors to create a bridge between academic learning and applied practice.

Each of the 32 finance cases presents a scenario and relevant background on a healthcare organization and poses a financial management issue that students must analyze in order to recommend appropriate courses of action. The majority of cases are accompanied by spreadsheet models to help students perform the required analyses.

The casebook also contains seven qualitative mini-cases created to highlight the ethical dilemmas that occasionally arise in the practice of healthcare finance.
