Cost Accounting for Health Care Organizations: Concepts and Applications

Cost Accounting for Health Care Organizations: Concepts and Applications and Essentials of Cost Accounting for Health Care Organizations (companion book) provide a thorough coverage of cost accounting from a health care perspective. They cover all of the basic tools of cost accounting common to all industries, and use health care examples. Cost Accounting for Health Care Organizations: Concepts and Applications and Essentials of Cost Accounting for Health Care Organizations focus on costing issues and concepts peculiar to the health care field. The tools covered are all practical, although they are not all commonly used. Some approaches, such as learning curves, are commonly used in other industries but not in health care. It is our hope that readers of these books will see the value of some of these less frequently used techniques and adopt them for use in their organizations.
