 Waste of time February 25, 2008
Happy in GA (Fort Benning, GA)
This book is a complete waste of time. The definitions are not even the same as the one's in the glossary. It skips major points and you need to go hunting to find where it is in the book. You spend more time doing that than if you just took your own notes.

Janet G. Hammond
This book is a waste of time. It includes a bunch of definitions that are not all that well organized and do not explain the concepts in the text book. Save your money. The text book is relatively easy to read and understand. You do not need this and it will not help.

The problem with this book is it is written too much like a book and not like a textbook. It is nearly impossible to find the equations that are embedded in the text if you are trying to do a quick reference on a concept. In addition, the index is horrible which leaves me constantly googling concepts that I need for the case studies since you can never find them in the book. Also, I'm not really sure how the book distinguishes itself as "health care" there is little to no health care specifics as far as finance goes. In all reality it isn't a great book especially if it is for your first finance class and you're better off looking up academic journals for a the health care finance perspective.

This purchase was to help me with my course and go hand in hand with the engimatic book. However, it hit highlights but was not helpful to me in question answers and reviews for test. If you want a book with definiton's to help you , this is a 5 . If you want help with the Gapenski engima , its a 1.
 Straight to the point and practical February 7, 2007
