This course is best suited for individuals currently in the healthcare sector, as a provider, payer, or administrator. Individuals pursuing a career change to the healthcare sector may also be interested in this course. In this course, you will have an opportunity to explore concepts and topics related to accounting and finance basics for healthcare organizations. After an introduction to the financial statements of healthcare entities, you will then learn how to read, interpret, and use a financial statement in order to understand the financial health of an organization. Your attention will be primarily focused on the Balance Sheet and Income Statement and basics surrounding revenue and expenses. This course will tie together the financial elements learned, to the risks facing healthcare entities, as the industry continues to evolve from the COVID 19 pandemic and its resulting impact on labor, supply chain expenses, and value-based care reimbursement models. Throughout this course, you will be given the opportunity to evaluate your understanding through engagement in course discussions, application of course concepts to a course assignment, and through completion of content quizzes along the way.الوحدات
