Healthcare managers confront many difficult and complex questions. Economics for Healthcare Managers provides the economic tools managers need to simplify and improve decision making. This book provides a framework for understanding pricing, regulation, costs, market demand, profitability, and risk—issues that all healthcare managers face.

A new chapter on creating and interpreting forecasts
A new chapter on government intervention in healthcare markets
Case studies and examples that illustrate how to analyze management problems and make recommendations
Key concepts, discussion questions, and a glossary for each chapter
Written in a straightforward and practical style, this book is ideal for readers with no background in economics.
