Essentials of Health Care Finance.......2007-09-10
This is a very difficult book to digest if you are not familiar with accounting concepts. This is not a beginner text! The text is written in a very broad context, however, the expectation in my class was to apply the broad concepts to detailed financial problems. This was difficult because Cleverly offerred few examples to help apply the difficult financial concepts. I found the text to be utterly frustrating!
Essentials of Health Care Finance.......2003-06-19
I bought the book of Essentials of Health Care Finance, it was delivered on time, however, some papers insided the book are very dirty, I can see the brown oily figure prints. I wish that I can exchange the book ...
Troubling Guide to Alien Territory.......2001-08-23
This books offers a broad coverage of health care topics for a non-financial person. It is most deeply flawed for its inability to communicate clearly to a lay person. Essentially it is a vocabulary primer of important financial principles and concepts. It requires abstract thinking and the ability to follow mathematical models.
This reader studied Cleverly's text as a requirement for a healthcare finance class. The text was frustrating as this reader attempted to "know" everything about healthcare finances; however, this is probably not the intent of the book. It does present a road into the foreign land of finances. It demands respect for another set of data and another language for interpreting that data. One does not master this data set at one pass, however.
Nevertheless, this reader did gain some new financial information. At the risk of being simplistic, but communicative; a listing of some of the concepts learned follows:
1. There are many users of financial information.
2. Financial information can guide the formation of programs.
3. Financial management is essential for successful healthcare organizations.
4. Various qualities of health care organization types.
5. How health care organizations make up for discouting and bad debt and capitated payments.
6. General principles of accounting and why they are important. Also that these principles still need to be explained, to be consistent, and to be clarified.
7. Overview of four main types of financial statements with a brief explanation of vaious line items.
8. That financial planning includes considering inflation before it happens, and for equipment etc. to break and wear out before it breaks or wears out.
9. That financial information can be better understood by comparing financial ratios of different line items and trends over time. There are national benchmarking ratios available and Cleverly gives some and tells how to get more.
10. That financial planning should be an orderly process in an organization.
11. There are different types of costs. Some stay the same, some are overhead types. Some are direct, some are hidden. Some can be controlled, some cannot.
12. Figuring out prices is a very complex process in healthcare. It is based on costs and payers. It must also include indirect costs and costs of future problems.
13. There is still stuff to learn . . . And this reader is still no expert.
Finally, after this MSN course and this text, this reader is more conversant with the financial landscape. It holds interest and it is understandable, after all.
Not for beginners.......2000-01-08
I have finished about 5 different chapters for a Masters degree course I am taking. This book is not for beginners! I am an RN and have been working in business for 10 years. The author assumes that you have had basic accounting and the terminology is unfamiliar. There are very few examples given so it is hard to take the information and see how it is really used. I have had to buy another book just so that I could understand this book.
Mr. Cleverley is the guru of healthcare finance.......1999-08-27
This book represents the foundation on which all healthcare organizations should examine their financial strength and management. While not for beginners, it provides a comprehensive overview of reporting and benchmarks that prove invaluable during the budgeting process and for financial control.

"A real-world approach, with great insights and practical wisdom on all aspects of the accounts payable process. Essentials of Accounts Payable provides accounts payable professionals with a framework for action in a rapidly changing environment."
-Tom Nichols, Division Manager, Accounts Payable Operations, AT&T
"Mary Schaeffer has combined her considerable knowledge of the accounts payable process with the learning and benchmark statistics from top companies to produce a world-class guide to the AP process. Without Mary Schaeffer, and IOMA, AP would still be a neglected financial process without any formal reading to explain the complexities of a process that most companies think is simply paying the bills. This book is a must-read for anyone working in, directing, or managing AP operations, both seasoned professionals and those new to the process."
-Linda Sawyer Sisko, Programs Manager, Cisco Systems, Inc.
"This book does an excellent job of explaining the often complicated basics of the accounts payable functions. It provides a quick snapshot for busy executives who need to know how an accounts payable department should run. It is an excellent update for those executives who need to keep up to date on numerous issues that affect this rapidly evolving profession."
-Adrienne Glasgow, Chief Financial Officer, American Red Cross in Greater New York

A highly practice-oriented guide to AP world.......2005-07-27
A useful handbook for accounts payable professionals. A wide-visioned summary & comparison from accounts payable operations of many companies of various types. Describe things in very details. It will be better if the best practices are more focused to be articulated. Overall, this book would enable someone in this area to achieve a more systematic perception into accounts payable.

Book Description
Essentials of COST ACCOUNTING BY JOHN G. BLOCKER, PH. D. Professor of Accounting and Chairman ofAccounling Department University of Kansas FIRST EDITION FOURTH IMPRESSION McGRAW-HILL BOOK COMPANY, INC. NEW YORK AND LONDON 1942 ESSENTIALS OP COST ACCOUNTING COPYRIGHT, 1942, BY THE McGRAW-HiLL BOOK COMPANY, INC. PBINTED IN THE UNITED BTATE8 OP AMERICA All rights reserved. This book, or parts thereof, may not be reproduced in any form without permission of the publishers. THE MAPLE PRESS COMPANY, YORK, PA. PREFACE This text has been prepared in recognition of the apparent need for a comparatively short book presenting the essentials or fundamentals of cost control and accounting to students wh will study cost accounting for one term, comprising a three-hour, two-hour, or one-quarter course. The book is planned to serve students who have a broad interest in the field of cost accounting and who are interested in understanding the rela tionships between financial and cost accounting. The subject is intro duced in an elementary form so that students who have had only one course in financial accounting will encounter no difficulties in making the transition from their first course in accounting to cost accounting. The importance of budgetary control is especially emphasized and the inter relation between budgeting and cost accounting is explained and illus trated. The book, written during defense preparations and actual war conditions, particularly stresses cost control and accounting for industrial enterprises, but does not neglect the important problems of control and accounting for distribution and administrative costs. The text is not a revision of Cost Accounting, which was written by the author in 1940, but is an abridged edition containing a condensa tion, reorganization, and simplification of much of the material appearing in the earlier 705-page book. A number of chapters dealing with special ized cost techniques have been omitted, other chapters have been con densed, and new material has been added. The first eight chapters explain the fundamentals of cost control and accounting applicable to all types of concerns and to each of the three divisions of the business enterprise. Chapters IX-XVII deal with the important principles of production and manufacturing costs. Job order costs are explained in four chapters process costs are discussed in two chapters joint cost and by-product accounting are introduced in a short chapter and the section is concluded with two chapters dealing with standard costs in manufacturing enterprises. Chapters XVIII-XX explain methods of controlling and accounting for distribution and administrative costs. Chapter XVIII describes accounting for actual distribution costs Chap. XIX explains the use of standards in controlling distribution costs and Chap. XX deals with actual and standard cost methods employed in controlling administrative costs. Vi PREFACE The book may be used equally well in a three-hour, two-hour, or one quarter course. Instructors teaching a two-hour or a one-quarter course will be able to cover the 20 chapters and assign several problems for each chapter or, in lieu of some of the problems, they may elect to use either the Production Order Job Order Cost Practice Set or the Process Cost Practice Set. Instructors teaching a three-hour course will have ade quate material for their students with the 20 chapters of text, the ques tions and problems accompanying each chapter, and one or both of the practice sets. Numerous cost charts, diagrams, forms and schedules to illustrate cost methods and procedures are included. The author gratefully acknowledges the constructive suggestions of L. L. Vance of the University of California and K. Louhi of the University of Kansas and the cooperation of colleagues on the School of Business staff. JOHN G. BLOCKER. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, June, 1942.

Book Description
This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the atmospheres of the giant gaseous planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The current theories of their formation are reviewed and their recently observed temperature, composition and cloud structures are contrasted and compared with simple thermodynamic, radiative transfer and dynamical models. The instruments and techniques that have been used to remotely measure their atmospheric properties are also reviewed, and the likely development of outer planet observations over the next two decades is outlined.
