This acclaimed text helps to build the fundamental economic and financial management skills nurses and nurse leaders need to be successful in daily practice and career advancement.

The book--written by nurses for nurses--is designed to help readers understand the impact of healthcare economics and finance in their day-to-day clinical and leadership work. While it covers advanced practice topics and responsibilities, the text’s readability and foundational content make it useful for nurses at all levels. It also delivers content essential for nurse entrepreneurs and other nurse leaders with its explanations of how national and global economics affect the health care industry, and how health insurance strategies affect consumer access and outcomes. The text provides multiple opportunities for experiential learning, such a writing business plans and grant proposals and engaging in discussions. It delivers cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analyses, discusses budget preparation, offers strategies for controlling budget costs, and updates relevant health policies and statistics.
