From the Foreword
This award-winning resource is the only text to focus on the financial and business skills needed by students in DNP programs. The third edition, updated to reflect key changes in our healthcare system and in nursing competencies, includes three new chapters addressing Big Data, Population Health, and Financial Management in Times of Uncertainty. It examines the impact of COVID on our healthcare system as it relates to nursing competencies, provides expansive coverage of clinical environments beyond acute care, and presents five comprehensive new case studies emphasizing the financial aspects of DNP roles and the DNP Project.
Clear and well-organized, the third edition emphasizes critical skills that nurse leaders need to participate in strategic health care planning. It addresses recent changes to reimbursement and health care regulations. The third edition offers updated information on ambulatory care, cost and ratio analysis, new examples of financial statements, and a new business plan. Enhanced teaching strategies include real-life case studies, challenging critical thinking questions, learning games, key terms, and an extensive glossary. New PowerPoint slides add to the text's value as a vital teaching tool.
